‘The Elephant Whisperers’ themselves, Bommon and Bellie are the real stars of the show. It is only through their constant support, and willingness to share a piece of their life with the world, that this film won this highest honour.

PM @AlboMP deserves congratulations for bringing some respect back to the role of Prime Minister and the Parliament,particularly in the way he has utilised the strengths of the Ministry by using a team approach to drive change rather than claim divine intelligence.👍

Thanks @thomasmayo23 for your passionate and inspiring keynote today @VATEconference. I look forward to sharing the Uluru Statement of the Heart with my colleagues and students.

There can be two styles of writing in English. One style which awards academic language and dense vocabulary. The other persuasive, which is to convince people in simple language very effectively. @VATEconference @VATE_English @craigreucassel

Great to see @craigreucassel in person speaking @VATEconference @VATE_English

Hey folks, we’ve taken down our paywall at @SatPaper from now until Saturday so you can read all of our election coverage (& archived coverage) & love it so much that you realise what a good idea it is to subscribe. Or just spend a few days reading. As you wish. You’re welcome!

@kath_boon @ProjectZeroHGSE @pzausnetwork Wonderful that you are recording and reflecting on your experience Kath.

Yes, absolutely loved the learning that emerged from this session. Thanks @VBoixMansilla

[Thea van Os @theavanos]

Have just completed a workshop with @VBoixMansilla the most inspiring and meaningful session that I have been to in years- preparing learner for a world of complexity.- beautiful “creating space for learning” and “seek to see routines” so powerful Thankyou #pzmel

[Shereen D'Souza @shereen_dsouza]

#pzmel great to see a focus on social-emotional thinking. Such a thought provoking session to consider "What dispositions might be worth nurturing to empower young people to live fulfilling lives and construct more inclusive and equitable societies?" @ProjectZeroHGSE

[Shereen D'Souza @shereen_dsouza]

@mrbarlow @ProjectZeroHGSE @casieonline @FlossieSGChua I'd like to further explore the point "use conversation structures that draw out the quiet voices: ups and downs". Wonder how other schools are managing this? @cpaterso #pzmel

[Shereen D'Souza @shereen_dsouza]

@FlossieSGChua good advice to not dismiss skeptics, important to encourage not coerce participation in whole school change. #pzmel

[Shereen D'Souza @shereen_dsouza]

@FlossieSGChua thanks for an inspiring presentation. Your question about 'how we can get learners to dwell comfortably with ambiguity?' has really challenged me.

[Project Zero @ProjectZeroHGSE]

Creating cultures of #thinking in a classroom is more than instituting a set of practices. What touchstones are needed for thinking to be valued, visible and actively promoted? Join @RonRitchhart at PZ’s #Education that Matters! https://t.co/kqBz8F1bRA

@ProjectZeroHGSE Great to attend the 'Education That Matters conference' and chatting with colleagues from around the world. "Learning is a consequence of thinking." #culturesofthinking
