Love this! I spent my day walking a group of primary educators through the beginning of their trauma-informed journey. 😊

@SusanCaldis @KathyMee10 Please share all the secrets!!!

Thank you for the idea and recommendation @KathyMee10 🙏🏻 Looking forward to reading and working it through - let’s see what tweets and paper(s) are generated 🤞🏻📝👩‍💻🌏

@shhartley @pruecar Yes! Same! I run accredited training too…and that’s not recognised as anything! 😬

@shhartley @pruecar I currently have 400 odd hours listed in on my account (pre PhD too!) and haven’t entered any new ones in a year or so…with 1.5 years to go. 🤷🏼‍♀️ the current system doesn’t work on many levels…I wonder how and where we can recognise our teachers are very skilled up individuals?!

@pruecar Staff spending 8 hours on Saturday volunteering at a community fundraising event to raise school funds for both reading resources for our students and to staff our school 🤔 how much more productive can we be 🤷🏼‍♀️ #fullyfundourschools

Productivity improvements need to be identified and agreed, and we know that teachers have ideas about how to do this while enhancing learning outcomes for students in the classroom. I am committed to this process and serious about improving teachers’ pay and conditions.

One of my highest priorities as Minister is ensuring a significant uplift in teacher salaries. Raising the pay and conditions of NSW public school teachers would go a long way to helping solve the teacher shortage crisis that was left by the former Liberal National Government.

@dizdarm @johnqgoh @DetJudith @MattE_Said @Timmy5959 think we could give them a run for their money??

Teaching is not just a job but a calling for this Illawarra family, with all members shaping the minds & futures of children in the region. Sharon & David O'Connor, & their daughters Ebony & Aimee - all are educators. Keep making a difference! illawarramercury.com.au/story/8288814/… #EdWeek23

If you are an educator in Australia, working in early childhood, primary or secondary sectors, please consider either contributing to and/or sharing this important investigation 1/-

@aliceleung And for the staff! 😊 Unspoken rule is the first one in turns on all the heaters!

Morning routine in winter - turning on the heaters at 8am so the classroom is nice for the kids at 9am

@TrainsInfo Hopefully! Thank you!

@TheKateEastman Sorry to hear that Kate, we'll pass this on now and hopefully it'll be removed soon.

@TransportforNSW blocking 6 disabled parking spots at Hornsby Station for an empty marquee and for “traffic controllers” to stand and block with cars is not ok. Surprisingly (not), people with disabilities still need access to train and train replacement services! @Matt_KeanMP

@TrainsInfo Hi @TrainsInfo…the marquee is still here blocking 3 disabled parking spaces. I ended up needing to park up the other end of the car park!

@TheKateEastman Not a problem at all, this feedback has now been raised with our team. In the meantime, I would recommend also placing this feedback through our formal form where you can also request a response to this feedback. transportnsw.info/contact-us/fee…

An Australian professor recognised as a world expert in ME/CFS — chronic fatigue syndrome — says Australia's treatment guidelines failed to reflect scientific advances in the pathology of the illness. abc.net.au/news/2023-06-1…

@TrainsInfo Thank you. Appreciate you looking into it. Transport with mobility issues is hard enough normally, throw in train replacements and those parking spots are depended on even more!

@TheKateEastman Thanks for getting back to me with the confirmation.

@TrainsInfo Correct. 5 spaces currently still blocked.

@TheKateEastman Can I just confirm if this is the top car park at Hornsby station?

@TrainsInfo The large empty marquee belonged to someone 🤷🏼‍♀️! Is it for the train replacement services running at the station? The workers had something related to traffic control on their hi-vis vests.

@TheKateEastman Can I confirm if this marquee and staff members were from Sydney trains?

@TrainsInfo This was at 1pm today. I was fortunate to get the last spot, but at least 3 cars seeking the disabled parking came past before I left my car!

@TheKateEastman Good afternoon Kate, Thanks for providing this feedback, are you able to DM us with additional details, such as time this occurred? Just to keep in mind word count limits.

@shhartley True that!

Still no treatments… “Techniques often used in chronic fatigue syndrome are also likely to be useful in long COVID patients. These may include activity-pacing, sleep hygiene, pain medication, and increasing fluid and salt intake.”
