Learning from the effective practice of others at the EAST network day, with tremendous gains in student learning at The Entrance Public School. Congratulations to principal Dave Stitt and the team for their work in explicit teaching. @NSWEducation

Thank you to @LD_Australia for the opportunity to share The Syntax Project and for @Fogarty_Fdn for featuring us in your report! Small schools can and do make significant impacts to the greater education landscape.

Students who experience explicit teaching practices make greater learning gains than those who don’t. So it’s great to connect with the Effective & Systematic Teaching Network who are working together to improve practice. Thanks to the network for the opportunity to engage today.

Thank you @veronalexand and @SpeldNSW for an informative, practical and engaging PL about what the K-2 Eng syllabus looks like in the classroom. The schools from our PLC were excited to build on their knowledge of evidence-based practices in literacy. @georgina_perry @aldonnea

Very pleased as a MACS educator to see the F-2 Resources live on the @OchreEducation website. MACS educators just need to register with their work email. As a Principal I'm grateful to my staff members who have contributed to this project. @MelbCathSchools #lightingtheirpath
