@dontattempt Haha, I love it! Husband and I do the cryptic in Tie Saturday Paper every weekend, slowly learning the little hints and ways cryptic clues are worded. It is so much fun!

Rob: I'm part of the problem

@EduTweetOz Thank you very much. Clearly need to brush up on my Google skills, or revisit my glasses prescription. I appreciate your response.

@Pook Found these regs for QLD Ed Dept: There should be a minimum of 2m2 usable space per student based on international standards.

@EduTweetOz Hi there 😊 Quick question - do you or any of the followers to this account know if there is a minimum space per student in a classroom? As in, how many square metres each student needs in a classroom? Thanks!

@EduTweetOz @BecWest81 @merrylandseast @johnqgoh I’ll investigate to see if we can make it happen, if that’s something we can do @johnqgoh? Especially if it’s what we decide is right for our school, then a field trip would be great for us.

@Pook @BecWest81 Have you visited any schools tonaee this in action? I can highly recommend @merrylandseast talk to @johnqgoh to see if you can have a tour 😁

Hey @BecWest81 @EduTweetOz hoping you might help. Our school is looking at team-teaching a K-3 class next year. 48 kids, 2 teachers, 1-2 SLSOs. I would love to hear from other teachers/schools that have done this, as we are brand new to it. Hoping you can help, thank you!

@EduTweetOz @BecWest81 @merrylandseast @johnqgoh That would be great, except we are in rural NSW, six hours from Sydney.

@melsa777 @TheWeirdTeacher Thank you @TheWeirdTeacher! Our school is investigating team-teaching a Kinder to Yr 3 class of 48 students next year. 2 teachers, 1-2 aides. Brand new to this. Looking to see how it works for others, advantages and challenges to consider.

Hey @TheWeirdTeacher do you have much experience or knowledge of team teaching across a multistage class - in this case prep to Year 3? Looking for some real life experiences to hear about. Hoping you might be able to point me in a direction other than google! Thank you 😊

@TheWeirdTeacher Sorry, I haven’t been clear in my question. Our school is investigating team teaching on a class that has from prep to Year 3 altogether. Most team teaching scenarios I can find are on the same grade. I was hoping other teachers might know of multi grade classes taught like this

@Pook So you want to know if I have experience teaching a third grade class but the kids levels are spread widely from way below that grade level to above?

@TheWeirdTeacher Oh sorry! In Australia we have stage outcomes for years - so prep or Kinder is Early Stage 1, Years 1 & 2 are Stage 1, Years 3 & 4 are Stage 2, and so on.

@Pook I don't think I know what a multistage class means. Sorry. What does it mean?

@adbunn @shana_morgan Thanks. It was pretty confronting to come upon it so soon after it happened.

@Pook Sorry for delay in responding. I only know what we’ve got on website from @shana_morgan about car fire on freeway.
