@mark_gerl @MrNunesteach Yup! I wonder if the added layer to this being an enormous issue is ‘systems’ (however big or small) make it so difficult to merge what we know is good education with what we ‘have’ to do?

[Dr. Erika Garcia Niles @flyingmonkey13]

In my 20-plus years of teaching, I have come to the realization that grades result in compliance. Feedback results in change.

Teacher evaluation, much the same.

Grades and levels are a period.
Feedback is a comma.

@venemy @1RosieThomas Yes!! Basil Brush!

@spencerideas @english_maven Ah, thank YOU! Your passion for deep thinking and wrestling with the stuff that really matters is inspiring!

[Andrew Wishart @Teacherwishy]

@DidiSpel @ThinkFun Yes! But got WAY less done than I should’ve... 🤷‍♂️ (but worth it!)

[Andrew Wishart @Teacherwishy]

Kids asleep, house to myself, settling with my new favourite game ‘Rush Hour’ by @ThinkFun. Screens away for the evening!

@SueRoffey @ConversationEDU I like how it��s talking about more than just a classroom approach.
@theritejourney is a brilliant approach too!

@english_maven Juggling balls. Just coz a shift in headspace is needed occasionally

THIS is why I love working part-time! Less cash but more time with family #worthit

@jtpc01 @AleidaMabarrack @AISSA_STEM It was a great day @jtpc01 and @AleidaMabarrack - thankyou! More questions than answers of “What next”, but it’d be boring otherwise, right? 👍

[Andrew Wishart @Teacherwishy]

@daveschmittou Totally agree that ongoing assessment and recording is the way to go! I love OneNote because of the ease of organisation.

Parent-teacher interviews done! Time invested = stronger relationships = understanding my students’ stories better.

[Andrew Wishart @Teacherwishy]

@MrEllis85 @mrkempnz We allow what builds relationships best - time! First lessons of the day are for Grandies to visit classrooms, teachers allow kids and seniors to hang out, followed by morning cuppa and concert. Great morning!

@imjustmaven I’m happy with this one right now https://t.co/9ad0u3Ebvt

[Andrew Wishart @Teacherwishy]

@imjustmaven Definitely! My kids loved being close and being able to chat while riding. Lots of good options around, don’t bother with the front head-rest. Riding’s too much fun to sleep!
