@tombennett71 @C_Hendrick Should we all be anarchists now then?

#conferencegawking wish list for next time: @JustinCaban_ (should have done it first thing!), Sonia Louden (a new edu-hero), @greg_ashman (still too nervous to ask!). A brilliant day overall for fun and learning at #researchEDNewy

[TenaciousKat (find me on 🧵s) @tenaciousKat]

My gosh I wish I could’ve got everyone today! But I did manage to snag the great @PepsMccrea - what an awesome thing #researchEDNewy did by bringing him to Oz again! #conferencegawker to the stars 😉 I’m definitely feeling motivated!

[TenaciousKat (find me on 🧵s) @tenaciousKat]

Such a special moment to be fangirling #conferencegawking your edu-hero and @AusSchoolsPlus mentor, the incomparable literacy lightbringer @JessicaColleu #researchEDNewy

[TenaciousKat (find me on 🧵s) @tenaciousKat]

But wait, there’s more! The ever lovely (and wonderful writer on education!) @msrebeccabirch #conferencegawking the edu-peeps at #researchEDNewy

[TenaciousKat (find me on 🧵s) @tenaciousKat]

Aaaaaaaand it’s a double gawk! The exceptional mathematician @Martin_Muffin AND the writing guru extraordinaire @jettybe3 - gotta love the @tempyheightsps crew! #conferencegawking #researchEDNewy

[TenaciousKat (find me on 🧵s) @tenaciousKat]

@Smithre5 I get it - she’s phenomenal!!! Absolutely loving her presentation on intellectual preparation 🤩 #researchEDNewy

[Jeanette Breen @jettybe3]

Difficult concepts, non-adjusted, will overburden working memory. When there’s no sequence or structure - students are overloaded. That’s what teachers need to know.

Wowee! It’s the brilliant new leader of CESE! The incomparable @buckingham_j, who I am so glad to see leading the excellent research team in the @NSWEducation #researchEDNewy #conferencegawking I can’t believe I get to hang out with my edu-heroes!

[TenaciousKat (find me on 🧵s) @tenaciousKat]

So many fabulous @EdResearchAU peeps here today - #conferencegawking Jeanette Frost too! Do you ever stop and think ‘AERO is just the best?’ I do 😉 #ResearchEDNewy

[TenaciousKat (find me on 🧵s) @tenaciousKat]

So delighted to be at #ResearchEDNewy and even more so to talk learning definitions with @NuellaMia - I just adore being challenged by people smarter than me so I can develop my thinking!!! @EdResearchAU #conferencegawking

[TenaciousKat (find me on 🧵s) @tenaciousKat]

Managed to snap one of the phenomenal leaders of Mastery Schools - the lovely Michael Roberts #conferencegawking #ResearchEDNewy

[TenaciousKat (find me on 🧵s) @tenaciousKat]

First #conferencegawking of the day was the magnificent Kate Barton, who has worked tirelessly to organise #ResearchEDNewy

[TenaciousKat (find me on 🧵s) @tenaciousKat]

The new and improved #conferencegawking where I do it as a selfie so my subjects get to look the way they want 😉 Snapped @ellis_patrick from Catalyst - gosh they do amazing work!!! #ResearchEdNewy

@jdtdobson I note that “She supports teachers of mathematics to teach differently, by helping them to connect students’ classroom learning with the real world.” Clearly not a cognitive science background. She’d rather teachers drown in planning and programming for 7 subjects.

[TenaciousKat (find me on 🧵s) @tenaciousKat]

@Penny_VB @greg_ashman In both cases, those people being in leadership held back positive change. It’s hard for the teachers and leaders who do want to work hard to be better in those situations. TBH the lack of pedagogy knowledge of when to use explicit vs inquiry is a massive gap for most.

[TenaciousKat (find me on 🧵s) @tenaciousKat]

@Penny_VB @greg_ashman Yep. I don’t think it’s every teacher who likes inquiry, but at each school I’ve worked at (except my current), there’s been at least 1 person like this. Always in leadership too, so they don’t have to be on class…every time I popped in when she was ‘teaching’, she was sitting.
