This is a monumental piece that every reading teacher should read, led by Reid Smith @Smithre5 and @PamelaSnow2 tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

This is wonderful stuff @Smithre5

@greg_ashman @StuartLock @Strickomaster @Miss_Snuffy @manisha_gazula I tend to agree, gut plays a large part.

My old boss used to say that leadership is all about judgement and the most important judgement a leader make is their judgement of other people’s judgment. I’m wondering if the leaders I know on here agree? @StuartLock @Strickomaster @Miss_Snuffy @StevenCapp @manisha_gazula

@greg_ashman I feel a new book here Greg. Where did all the forks and teaspoons go could be explored?

Dear Family Please don’t put empty ice cube trays on top of the fridge. If you can’t be bothered to refill them then that’s fine. I’ll do it, but I need to *know* to do it. If you leave them on the draining board, this will act as a prompt for me, I will fill them and we will all have ice. A win-win. Yours truly Dad

New open access article 🔓 Transforming evidence into practice for reading and spelling instruction: a descriptive study of six Victorian primary schools. @tserry2504 Lisa Furlong & @PamelaSnow2 tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

1/3 of AUS school children can't read proficiently. In response, all state & territory govt have now mandated that explicit instruction (EI) be used to teach reading in schools. Can EI turn things around? Listen to @JennyDonovan2 from @EdResearchAU abc.net.au/listen/program…

@MrZachG Thanks for the referrals my good man! It was a joy to work on those chapters with you and the same with so many other cool people ! ⚡️⚡️@PamelaSnow2 @tserry2504 @DaveMorkunas @klrhull @SimonBreakspear @StevenCapp @Smithre5 @PhOrMeSLiteracy and many others !

TEACHERS: FROM NOVICE TO EXPERT @victorialynne99 (@ALearnerToolkit) breaks down the journey from novice to expert in teaching. Discover how educators evolve, adapt, and empower others using the TRIM framework. It's all about context, strategy, and accountability! 🎧Listen to the full episode here: learnwithlee.net/s03e13-a-learn…

Education academics seem to think that invoking the word "neoliberal" is a killer argument against anything they don't like. The authors of this critique of AERO lasted all of 3 sentences before bringing it up. It's such a poor line of argument. If you're going to argue against evidence then use better evidence, not ideology. blog.aare.edu.au/aero-says-educ…

Thanks Greg, important AERO survey link. I have done it and it didn’t take long.

@RichardWh84 @learnwithmrlee @msrebeccabirch Sounds great, any change and habit building seem to go hand in hand.

@StevenCapp @learnwithmrlee @msrebeccabirch This is exactly why i have written my forthcoming book Learning Habits. To combine our understanding of learning with effective strategies to implement change.

I have a theory that teaching students about Dunlosky and the Bjorks is enough to lower academic stress, even if they don't apply what they know. It shifts the locus of control to "I know how to study effectively, I just choose not to," rather than "WTF am I doing?"

@learnwithmrlee @msrebeccabirch This is interesting and makes a lot of sense. Insert learning strategies for, healthy eating, exercise, saving money etc. it’s not the knowledge of what to do, but building the habits? Good old human behaviour!

You might find this paper interesting... "Even after learners are made aware of effective learn­ing strategies, they do not automatically endorse or use those strategies." Turns out changing the behavioural habit is the hard part. They need some intervention in order to make the change & then see that it works before buying into it.

@rhyssy33 @C_Hendrick @tempyheightsps @jettybe3 @PamelaSnow2 @lifelonglit @stephiedegs @p_co81 😆

@C_Hendrick @tempyheightsps @jettybe3 Oh no! The hastag meant to say #fanboying....not annoying! 🤦‍♂️ Sorry @C_Hendrick @PamelaSnow2 @lifelonglit @stephiedegs @p_co81 @StevenCapp

It was an absolute honour to have one of my educeleb idols @C_Hendrick visit @tempyheightsps and I sensed from his nervous energy around me it was reciprocated....and probably a major highlight for him. Thank you so much Carl, such a privilege to meet you ❤️ #annoying @jettybe3

@Smithre5 Amazing what happens with a few players back😂

@StevenCapp True. Just drives me mad when people say we are a rabble (which is partially true) but don’t acknowledge that the reason people are put of position is because they are being expected to be somewhere different to last year.

It seems a little weird that in there is a lot of talk about how the Swans should have done more to identify the problems that caused the GF disaster last year, but few acknowledging that some of the drop off this year caused by Swans changing gameplay to fix those issues.

Principals should act now to improve their schools’ approach to maths teaching, researchers from @GrattanInst warn in a new guide for leaders that reveals exactly how seven ‘lighthouse’ schools have transformed maths outcomes for the better. educationhq.com/news/how-seven…

@Smithre5 Agree, sometimes have to go backwards to go forwards. Adelaide on fire too. They were close to perfect last night.

@Smithre5 I thought so, probably a bit lucky.

@StevenCapp Your boys played well today.
