Maurie here. I'll still post my Principal Possum blog posts here but this is the only one that will be a direct plug for HMWLead! Check out my new website and the work I've got underway. principalpossum.blogspot.com/2023/09/workin…

@ijakk2 @maurieabraham School leadership can be a great job

@maurieabraham @DisruptEDNZ We were looking at the gazette today in my office. We were amazed at the huge number of principal and DP jobs advertised. All of us could understand why.

Been doing some thinking about what, after 20 years of principalship, I might do next. @DisruptEDNZ Principal Possum: How Might We Lead principalpossum.blogspot.com/2023/08/how-mi…

@bobble05132522 @maurieabraham @TVNZ Thank you for your compassion for the staff I have who had been previously red stickered and or properties under threat and students from areas impacted previously who were experiencing trauma

@maurieabraham @TVNZ You seem to close every 2 minutes so doubt it would make a difference, remember when the hobsonville point schools shut for the Auckland flooding even though not affected at all? Yet the likes of Westlake/Carmel re opened even though they were in the thick of it.🤔

Watching the 4 day week story on @TVNZ news and wonder how community would respond if teachers led the way.

If you design a system to do something specific, don't be surprised if it does it. If you run an education system based on standardization and conformity that suppresses individuality, imagination, and creativity, don't be surprised if that's what it does. Sir Ken Robinson.

My annual reshare of this post. Dear students of NZ. Please please please don’t sweat the exams!! teachingandelearning.blogspot.com/2018/11/an-ope…

10pm NZ time @DisruptEDNZ and #edchatnz folk. Gonna need a nap and a cup of coffee. Looking forward to joining you all!! :)

I've been thinking. Is now the time to REALLY reimagine NCEA and definitions of success? In short, HELL YES!! teachingandelearning.blogspot.com/2020/03/is-now… cc @nikkikaye @dbseymour @TraceyMartinMP @JennySalesa @NgatiBird @grantrobertson1

Working around self-isolation to bring you this week's DisruptEDTV with Steve Mouldey. Today's topics: NCEA - do we even need it? Coronavirus - why now more than ever we need to teach critical thinking, empathy, and Digital Citizenship! facebook.com/SWITCHaotearoa…

This is tedious real estate bullshit based on a dubious definition of 'best'. The best school is your local school. @DisruptEDNZ stuff.co.nz/business/11883…

@maurieabraham @nhemara I just got ebook on my Kindle!

@nhemara Got mine from NZCER

Any insight as to how I can get my hands on a copy to read whilst at the beach?

So fantastic to see NZ History being supported by the government, now we need to also honour our future by supporting and recognizing innovation studies through NCEA! cc @jacindaardern @chrishipkins @RobertJGilbert @francesvnz @medickinson nzherald.co.nz/opinion/news/a…
