A letter to @AEUVictoria re yesterday's statement.
I am deeply appalled, devastated and hurt by the statement passed unanimously by the joint Primary and Secondary Sector Council on the 14th of June, 2024...

We have issued a statement following yesterday's announcement by the Premier League.

The only consistency throughout has been the inconsistency.

The statement is also available on our website - https://t.co/KHsHbKeFQy

Too early in the morning for the proofreaders at @theage today?

@aleer_brendan @paddypower Too soon @aleer_brendan!

@FreyaMariaO Wow, so organised! What platform do you use for this planning? Does each cell link to a section of your student booklets or to a separate lesson template?

[Mark Pilson @pilsward]

@wolfiemanchu @drstip @SBSSportau @simongerrans Yep. Plenty of perennial favourites to keep the #couchpeloton happy

@Chrus_3 Twin peaks?

@annhyland101 I’m doing my best to keep it going! My Year 7s were using them a bit last year.

[Mark Pilson @pilsward]

Is there a diagnostic spelling test out there for use with secondary students? @lifelonglit are your assessments and programs just for primary aged students?

[Mark Pilson @pilsward]

I thought I’d missed my window but I’ve just signed up for this course now. If interested, you’ve got until 26/9.

My piece for the @theage today:
Thank you Victoria, for everything https://t.co/lRVIdPJpoM #CovidVic

[Carl Hendrick @C_Hendrick]

This clip of Barak Rosenshine talking about 'higher order thinking skills' is one of the single most important things for teachers to know about learning.

[dbRaevn @dbRaevn]

I'll do a full breakdown later, but did want to share this now as it's good news that was glossed over a bit in the VIC press conference:

🔗8 of the previously unlinked cases have been linked.

That brings the total for previous days down from 24 to 16

@aleer_brendan @SkySportsPL Hopefully just paper talk. If this comes to fruition, I think there will be a big backlash from the fans. He might be hoping for empty stadiums next year too!

I have created a student friendly version of the retrieval practice ideas of @KateJones_teach, @teacherhead and @olicav and the deliberate practice model of @deansforimpact. This will be use to structure RP as an independent study task. Please RT if you would like a copy.
