We like this slide from @adambspencer

@adambspencer says: new tech needs to be integrated into education meaningfully and deliberately. Banning it is neither intelligent nor effective. Let's help students to be critically aware users and consumers of new tech. #VASSP2023

@adambspencer tells us how digital innovation is changing life and work forever. Exciting, mind-blowing, daunting, and a need-to-know for education leaders. #VASSP2023

Ben Crow introduces us to the practice of 3 distinct mindsets: Connection, Purpose & Performance. #VASSP2023 Find out more here: mojocrowe.com

@angescaffidi asks: "In the midst of chaos, how do you make decisions?" Do you ensure proper process, delegate, enable experimentation but provide gaurd rules, communicate clearly & directly, and value the silence during fierce conversations? #VASSP2023

@DrAdamFraser asks: "where is your third space"? This is the space where you think about how you transition from work space to home space. Your 3rd space could be in thw car during the drive home from work. #VASSP2023

Rural VASSP members Ellie McDougall from Ararat College, and Robert Pyers from Horsham College speaking about the Aspire program, PL gaps, and the unique challenges faced by Rural middle and upper school leaders. #VASSP2023 #RuralSchools

@angescaffidi leads VASSP members through a conversation about difficult conversations, what can and cannot be changed, and the heavy responsibility of having to make a decision when no ideal solution seems available. #VASSP2023

@glenncsavage argues: in the last 20 years there's been an explosion of evidence telling educators 'what works' (eg. Visible Learning) but this has not led to improved results. Desire for evidence can lead to a search for the magic bullet, and oversimplified solutions.

@glenncsavage says a new wave of reform is required to assist how we work with and perceive 'evidence'. Instead if claiming to know what works, let's ask "what might work my school school"? Let's be contextual and let's be specific about what we view as 'evidence'. #VASSP2023

@Lumination_Tech It is really great to have you guys here for our members 💙
