@JoelBSperanza Why are we not teaching these skills while in context and in class?

@JoelBSperanza @Smedboule I tell new Year 7 enrolments how fun Science is in high school because you get to cut things up and blow things up. Risk assessment on this might be a bit of a stretch though!!!

@SamuelCowley @QUTEducation Congrats Sam. You will be brilliant!

@SoniaNelson228 @sdinhamunimelb Students tend not to be disruptive when they are engaged. Learning management can then take over behaviour manage. Simple things like this work. Good stuff.

@dylanwiliam @maxeden99 Thank you Dylan. I truly believe suspension is the last resort but that statement actually articulates why I do what I do.

[Simon Campbell @SimonCampbell_1]

@RonTaylor_FHS @NicoleDyson @fastcrayon Love it. Focus on learning. Checking for understanding. I could go on. Do our teachers have the tools in the kitbag to do this efficiently and effectively?

Congrats Tony on your QSPA award. Well done!!!!

Simply good teaching.

Thoughtful piece about social justice, disadvantage and the "pupil premium" (which notes in particular that the premium was intended to be a proxy for school-level disadvantage, rather than a way of identifying individual "at risk" students)

@kwilli1046 Put the dude in at first slip.

@garrathmc @seancurtis1023 Ask students?

@lenoretaylor @JanOwenAM Charter boat (Climate Change), what Charter boat?????

[Simon Campbell @SimonCampbell_1]

@garrathmc @scootle @teacher2teacher @MitchRobbo @seancurtis1023 Love it.

@KellyBowman2 @sdinhamunimelb My apologies Kelly. I was referring to Stephen’s comment on entry standards into undergrad Ed degrees not the Australian Professional Standards for teachers. I have heard some comments that other measures are used for uni entry, especially for students with a very low ATAR.

[Simon Campbell @SimonCampbell_1]

@kwilli1046 Gutsy.

@JanOwenAM Loved Vietnam. You can tell it is progressing and all our tour guides linked it to opening up. Their infrastructure is great. Wi Fi in the van to Halong Bay (while dodging a few buses and trucks) was normal. Why do Oz visitors have to pay for Wi Fi???

@swissfondue63 @BrionyScott @PreslandChris Interesting. Keep in mind you could get the same calamity in a school using a basketball. Continuous bouncing in a classroom, passing it around instead of doing a worksheet or excluding a student from a game... wait that’s bullying. No question. Ban basketballs as well.

@MomentsAU @JanOwenAM Just as no Australian has ever tweeted about winning the Bledisloe Cup. Think about it.

[Simon Campbell @SimonCampbell_1]

@GilchristGeorge @LynSharratt Love it. Let’s lead differently.
