Newly graduated teachers in Australia get a bad rap - that they are not "classroom ready" and are bad at classroom management. @drlindagraham, Sonia White and @bobpianta went looking for evidence of what was going wrong. This is what they found. #AAREblog aare.edu.au/blog/?p=7428

@Bec_Carman The tough love approach seemed to work for NZ. Fingers crossed for Victoria too.

In #Australia, Victoria Premier Daniel Andrews announces 6-week lockdown to combat rising #COVID19 infection, esp. "mystery" cases of community spread. Will be curious to see if this demonstrates economic benefits of "tough love" vs "laissez-faire" approach in parts of US.

Thank you @ATEA_Australia. @peta_salter! Great collaborating with you as always.
