Hot tip. If you've visited an event, you haven't, in fact, "helped to deliver" that event. ...and suggesting you have is an embarrassment and robs people of their hard work. Stop peacocking. Just get a body of work and talk authentically about that. #fridayrant

I had a fab chat with @mathewogreen on The Art of Teaching Podcast. Give it a listen, I hope you like this chat as much as I did! podbean.com/ew/pb-uesqf-18…

Help me understand why you'd be this level of jerk to bring down someone's rating when you have yourself clearly said you'd rebook and that it is an excellent place? HELP ME to understand this.

hey @Mentimeter, have you taken away the moderation feature, or have I just lost it?

@BronRyrieJones @SharingBestPrac Doing the work. Showing up and doing great things. Keep doing you, Bron, ya bloody legend!

It's great to be in Central Queensland for two days of workshops, keynotes and breakouts. For my opening keynote at @SharingBestPrac Gladstone, I'll be sharing three big ideas about responsive teaching.

.... but how good it was to see his eyes light up when the local public school was "back on the table". I realised it will take another generation to believe in the quality of #publiceducation. In the meantime, we should talk it to anyone who listens to change hearts + minds.

Longish intro to a short end; he's going to see his local school. It's a fab school and it should be his first choice of school. He's also going to explore the other schools to make a good choice for his kid; he knows his kid best and we have many choices of schools which is fab

I was in a cafe yesterday. Only three of us were there. The two men were talking about local #schools and absently discounting the #publicschools in the area. I know the local schools and chose to be that person and chime in... here's what resulted.

The broad discourse around the teaching profession is laden with unhelpful polemics and conspicuously lacking in respect for teachers as professionals. ping @JaneCaro @PollyDunning linkedin.com/pulse/professi…

Bourke PS 3/4B have been learning about probability. Today, students were set the challenge to create an unfair carnival game, that would have a high probability that the customer would lose. Students designed their games and peers played them. @KathyPowzun @dizdarm @robocatdan

@BBoyerMP It was a great address to a fab group of our Leaders. Thanks for sharing such a heartfelt message and setting an excellent tone for day two of the event!

Great to speak with school leaders at the SA Primary Principals Association (SAPPA) conference this morning. Teaching is a tough job and it’s important our school leaders get together to support one another. Thanks to Tobias, the SAPPA team and all our principals; I am so grateful for what you do and lean heavily on your advice.

Maybe they don't match your energy. Maybe there's been a moment of misunderstanding. Either way... how are you going to make it work, at work? linkedin.com/pulse/working-…

@FrankChloe So fab to real-life meet you too! We've got SUCH a great opportunity to lead out in this space in SA. Can't wait to work with you more on your brilliant ideas!

It’s lovely when you get to meet your Twitter (oops I mean X!) connections IRL - thanks for coming to visit our school today @EduSum ! Some great ideas 💡 & thinking 💭 about learner agency & what we can do better for our Ss ✍🏼

When people with the same last name as you are checking out your LinkedIn, do you also wonder if they are using it as some sort of Ancestory.Com situation?

@BronRyrieJones @DunnEducation @hattdesigns @lifeoflottie @rachabuck @CleoWesthorpe @EduCelebrity This thread is bringing me back to old twitter and ....

@DunnEducation @hattdesigns @EduSum @lifeoflottie @rachabuck @CleoWesthorpe If you were a real @EduCelebrity, you'd believe anything and everything.

Over the next two days, 150+ teachers and leaders will gather in Melbourne to dig into responsive teaching, and principles of expert coaching. I'm incredibly lucky to be joined by these powerhouse experts for a panel to round out the week! @lifeoflottie @rachabuck @cleowesthorpe
