Wonderful to see @09AGL and former colleagues from @BrokenBayDioc at today’s symposium. Thank you for joining us…

CSNSW-@nsmithonline hosting this expert panel - complex issues with many associated issues. @CathSchoolsNSW

A picture speaks 1000 words they say. My review of @LindaBendikson book-"It's Not Rocket Science: A Guide to the School Improvement Cycle"-now a copy 4 each L/Ship Team member.Virtually step by step guide to SI, & highlighting areas of concern pitfalls that can occur. Highly rec.

Great read just through first 2 chapters - stated twice (so far) "... commitment always trumps compliance as a change strategy..." very true! @MichaelFullan1

@cjpb63 @FrankChiment @gregmiller68 Probably need to ask the parents on what works for them. Then find a collaborative solution that works for all. Lots of outside the box thinking.

Parent engagement is more and more challenging. Schools want to work with parents who more and more are so time poor they are unable to engage. Schools run forums, PT nights- parents don’t come. The path forward? Ideas? @FrankChiment @09AGL @gregmiller68 theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

@mbennettcoach @LindaBendikson Will do. Had the fantastic opportunity to do some PD with @LindaBendikson last week - both via zoom and face-to-face. Can't wait to read the book for more detail.

Looking forward to some Term One PD reading. Makes great sense for school leaders aiming for authentic school improvement.

How can they market this?

@Changingconver1 Just listened to this podcast @Changingconver1 with Viviane Robinson. A great chat - very purposeful and a great model of change! Love the Kiwi and Scottish accent! Looking forward to hearing more

A day late but who’s checking?! Your latest @Changingconver1 episode is here. A conversation with Viviane Robinson to challenge your thinking about how we engage with improvement open.spotify.com/episode/6ScJjX…

Our prayers are with the Northern Rivers community at this time. Please stay safe.

@LindaBendikson Looking forward to it!

Just been reading the proofs of our upcoming book. Very excited to see this in print - coming out early next year @Meyers_ed_press

@kchalls Congratulations Kurt - now you can even make a bigger difference!

Excited to announce that I have been appointed as principal at St Joseph's Primary School, Alstonville from 2023. I am so thrilled to be joining and leading such an amazing learning community in the new year!

@cjpb63 Prayers and thoughts are with you Chris - and your family.

Farewelling my dear Mum Pat this morning ❤️

@gmorad2012 Markets?

@gregmiller68 Great to read on a Sunday morning!Reinvigorated me for the coming week - knowing how much schools do - particularly in these times.

I sit down for a leisurely Sunday morning coffee and notice a random (probably paid) advertisement from a tutoring group on my FB feed. For years I’ve felt like responding and, for some reason, today I did.

@ASH_ER_D Well done to all Soc & Cult teachers - so much work in getting these over the line- particularly in these times.

And the PIP Major Works are in! Society and Culture teachers all over NSW- cheers! 🥂 #societyandcultureteachers#societyandcultureteacher #hsc2022 #PIP

Another reminder from Covey - some aspirations to strive towards.

@gmorad2012 But most definitely cold!

@ASH_ER_D Stay safe A!

And I just received flood warning #45, it all just keeps hammering us. #sydneyfloods #hawkesburyfloods

@ScienceMrHarris The numbers speak for themselves.

“In a 3 week period we had 109 teachers not replaced.. at 4 sessions a day that's 436 classes without a teacher.. on average each class has 20 students.... that's over 8700 students not taught!”

Collapsed classes, minimal supervision, senior students sent to the library for individual study - all of which means students are not being engaged with the lesson as much as they would otherwise be. This is a daily occurrence now, and partly why I am striking today. 🧵
