⁦@whatedsaid⁩ has me so inspired! Thank you for keeping us focused on learners and agency. Perfect timing to empower students to drive their own learning #ToddleTIES #whatif? #CWSC

Such awesome learning this weekend via #ToddleTIES. Amazing educational presenters from all over the globe. My mind has been blown by the professional discussions, innovative thinking & collaboration. #CWSC #learningpit #findingjoy @kjinquiry @joboaler @whatedsaid

A beautiful gesture from one of our families. Heartfelt thanks to the CWSC teachers for their care & support of our students during the past weeks of remote learning. A perfect start to our return to onsite work. #CWSC #TeacherAppreciationWeek2020 ⁦@ACTEducation⁩

How will we GROW through this? A very pertinent question the staff at CWSC will be reflecting on this week as we prepare to transition back to face to face learning. What will be your new & better normal? #CWSC @ACTEducation

So glad that the @actgovernment @YvetteSBerry backed their original decision & are not caving to the pressure of NSW! We are prepared for remote learning in the ACT & we can be successful. Plus this situation provides for more innovation in education https://t.co/okNFZCaZNd

That's the way we became the Coombsy Bunch! Today's staff meeting with a Chrome extension grid allowed us to see all faces in our Meet wherever they were on Ngunnawal Country! #CWSC #WFH @ACTEducation

Love Katie’s message about UDL in remote learning ‘Firm goals, flexible means. Eliminate inequity by providing learning options that kids can choose to access/engage in’. Remove barriers. #CWSC #UDL @ACTEducation @gcouros @KatieNovakUDL @ajjuliani

[Nicole Nicholson @NicSNicholson]

Powerful message from @ajjuliani ‘The principles of learning remain the same whether it is face to face or remote. It has to be meaning centred, social, human & language based’. @ACTEducation #CWSC @gcouros

[Nicole Nicholson @NicSNicholson]

Leadership team currently engaged in ‘Opportunities for Learning & Leading in a virtual space’ webinar. So important for educators to be learners right now! #CWSC @ACTEducation @gcouros

[Nicole Nicholson @NicSNicholson]

@BelindaJAndrews @ACTEducation Glad we could share the love! It’s so much better!

[Nicole Nicholson @NicSNicholson]

@Hux1975 The team at Charles Weston have blown my mind with their creativity, collaboration, connection with students & dedication to continuity of quality pedagogy in these new times. So proud to be an educational leader in our system! The journey is the reward.

Ending our incredibly productive & innovative week of developing home learning practices with some fun community connection. To quote one of my staff members “Love doing chaos with you all”! #CWSC @ACTEducation #consciousconnection

[Nicole Nicholson @NicSNicholson]

This is what all our leaders & educators need to frame their thinking right now. Such important messaging! Certainly driving our agenda at CWSC. @ACTEducation
4 Ideas to Consider for Online Learning https://t.co/DM6Ntnu8c8 via @gcouros

From developing home learning at work to engaging in home learning as a parent. Definitely becoming more conscious of connections with family and our local surrounds. Appreciating the snippets of time just to be present. #family #consciousconnection

[Nicole Nicholson @NicSNicholson]

3 staff members & 6 students connecting on Google Meet to share their learning & experiment. Love that students are the teachers!#CWSC #remotelearning @ACTEducation
