Case… in… point… ⬇️⬇️⬇️
I can see it now… A new psychosocial hazard where staff have anxious responses when one…two… 10… 20+ emails land at precisely 7am or 8am on Monday morning… Enough to throw anyone off balance, regardless of the profession or workforce… 🤔🤔🤔

Hmmm I now have 16 emails with delayed delivery for various times on Monday and honestly guys are we sure that’s better than just hitting ‘send’ when it’s written…? 🤨

@aliceleung It is not possible yet. There was a video put out a little while ago about scheduling in the DET.

@alisa_stephens @dickfaber It is addressed to Principals, cc’d to all others.
English

@dickfaber I feel like that email was intended for Exec? Classroom teachers can't really consider cancelling meetings...

@ryannoonan5 Having felt similar in the past, the best thing I did was take some time off and get a job in a completely different type of school (Distance Ed.). Still a school, but so different to any other.

@ryannoonan5 Sorry to hear Ryan! The team has been a great help to me this year.

@DrProudman My wife insisted that I ask my father in law first. With his sense of humour, it was not unexpected when his reply was “yes, but you have to tell her I said no”.

We were told in DCO training the other day we can create an account with our @education (Google) email accounts.
I can’t reply to @dounya_fattouh’s post directly.

NSW DoE colleagues- are we able to create a chatgpt account with our work email address? Or is it a personal one? Couldn't find an answer online internally 🤷♀️

In less than 12 months, I have over 30 years of teaching experience leave just 1 faculty in 1 school because of the pay and conditions. More are looking at leaving. Today’s announcement is not going to help retain or replace them. #HonourtheDeal. @ChrisMinnsMP @pruecar

@jonesytheteachr And yet, many schools will still use the student growth metric as part of their planning…

@r_nd_rgh It is easy to do the initial deletion unfortunately. People delete things instead of unsyncing them. Also easy but annoying to get them out of the recycling bin.

@JaneCaro BP Kingston has some new ones. Not sure if they are operating yet.

More school visits today doing my favourite thing (working with children of course!). Thank you Railway Town Public School and Morgan Street Public School! You have completed my travel week perfectly! #RuralAccessGap

@Grant_Shep @alisa_stephens Agreed. Having a term off last year was the best decision I made in a long time.
English

@alisa_stephens Thanks Alisa! First time in 35 years of teaching so I reckon it is well overdue!
English

I made the call earlier this week to read the signs and take leave for the remainder of term to be proactive about my own physical and mental wellbeing. Our staff’s response when staff recognition time came around this Friday: #loveourschool

@andrewbogut They are returning to partial learning from home due to the number of staff and students absent. A better idea I think than continuing to collapse classes and have the kids sit outside with minimal supervision.

@debimoa @carlaleeB It’s really only about $3000 by the time tax is taken out.

@TheAngry_Wombat @waratahblue @alisa_stephens @lisa_edwards10 @AGavrielatos @dizdarm I laughed out loud when during the introduction to SAP the Principal told us that the recommended browser for it was internet explorer, which had been announced as being discontinued a couple of months before.
English

@waratahblue @alisa_stephens @lisa_edwards10 @AGavrielatos @dizdarm There are DoE ones
Like a lot of stuff
Not fit for purpose
A relative of mine laughed very hard when he found out the DoE was getting SAP
English

Not that the DoE doesn't know but I thought this would be a great place to collect a list of workload that has not been considered since "Teaching Service Act 1980"
What's in the daily life of teachers/executive/principals that wasn't then.
