@Miss_Snuffy In NZ, we are …eatnewzealandhandwritingchallenge.org

Is anyone paying attention? 😩

@EminaMcLean I’ve seen good teachers feel disempowered bc they haven’t been trained in “Structured Literacy”. But SL looks like the good literacy teaching many have been promoting for years. It never needed a name when this good doc came out cis.org.au/publication/re…

Thanks for having me! Unless the SoR movement can come up with more than “BL bad” & “SoR good”, disseminating superficial knowledge & beating the crisis drum, it’s pointless. The SoR movement won’t improve student outcomes unless it makes a drastic shift from dogma to details.

@JackyNinjakitty @TheRealMrsBrady I did a presentation for whānau last week. Qs were around what to do for older chdn who had missed the foundations and simple ways to support at home. I’m sure it will be a marvellous evening

@brgibson11 @HansFrauenlob Was coming here to say The Stomach. Nurturing music talent for decades and providing gig space and recording options. So good for musos young and old and their fans 🤩🫶

@HansFrauenlob The Stomach

Let's show Palmerston North some love. What do you love about Palmy?

Need for a rethink of use of devices in schools with evidence that high levels of screen time had a negative effect on children’s emotional stability and reduction in achievement levels

@jillberry102 @AdrianBethune @BloomsburyEd Agree. And seeing that it doesn’t mean “rough enough” is helpful too. Related fact: I think reading about the good enough parent early in my parenting saved me and my children as well 😅

"...But sometimes they get it wrong…The blips & mistakes are all accepted as part of being a good-enough teacher, & ultimately being human." @AdrianBethune in bloomsbury.com/uk/wellbeing-i… @BloomsburyEd 2/2

"I believe that there is a need in education for the ‘good-enough’ teacher, particularly in response to the tyranny of the ‘outstanding’ teacher (which is a form of perfectionism, in my opinion). The good-enough teacher goes their best to care for & educate their class…" 1/2

@JessicaColleu @SPogorzelski @KnowledgeScty So good. Love this research and so good to meet Simmone as she shared it at #SSSR2023 Looking forward to more 😃

@SPogorzelski sharing part of her PhD findings 1) Decodable texts provide the practice students need to develop strong decoding skills 2) exposing young students to rich literature is as important @KnowledgeScty #SSSR2023

@TessaDaffern Just so hard to choose between all the offerings at #SSSR2023. I’d love to hear about your study Tessa. I’ll look out for publications

Looking forward to presenting this paper at the #SSSR2023 conference in Port Douglas today. Join me if you can: session is on Spelling Instruction (in Pandanus at 11:50am). I'm sharing findings from an RCT study conducted in mainstream classroom contexts.

@NathanielRSwain @EminaMcLean Such telling findings. Highlights the importance of making change at primary and secondary so the building blocks are there to make tertiary success possible

Rounding out our symposium is Emina “Worth-the-wait” McLean !! #sssr2023 Talking about the low levels of language and literacy in Australian University students. Struggling readers in high school by and large continue to be struggling readers in University 😳 @EminaMcLean

@NathanielRSwain @UFLiteracy @HollyLanePhD The importance of teacher support materials and PLD/coaching is a strong theme across presentations at #SSSR2023

Fabulous to hear about @UFLiteracy from the creators @HollyLanePhD and Valentina Contesse. PD + High quality Curriculum ➡️ Improved practice ➡️ results #SSSR2023

Even with the best of teaching, dyslexia is still hard for the child and the family 💔 A very important thread to highlight that there is no quick fix or magic solution

@EminaMcLean The whole session was great wasn’t it. Looking forward to yours tomorrow Emina

Brilliant presentation from James Kim, representing Harvard GSE. Findings indicate sustained content literacy instruction that spirals topics and semantically related vocabulary across grades can promote longer-term improvements in students’ reading outcomes. #sssr2023

@NathanielRSwain Pinching myself too. It’s a lovely temp here in Port Douglas. Looking forward to all the amazing things at #SSSR2023

Pinching myself that I’m about to be in Sunny ☀️ Port Douglas for #SSSR2023, after a 2 °C start in melbourne. What insights await from the great minds in reading science!

@JackyNinjakitty Office space for Teds in beds?

@bexreflects So sorry to hear this Bex. Hope all improving. Good hospital care is the best thing isn’t it?

Worst school holiday ever. A huge ngā mihi to the medical staff at Palmy hospital who took such good care of my boy. He’s out and on the mend, handling the long waits in ED and different medical procedures like a champion. 💖

@parkamonkii @CarolineMoss Should anyone say anything about another person’s body? No. We might think it; we don’t have to say it. We might even eventually stop ourselves thinking and judging based on body shape.

@CarolineMoss Don’t gaslight people. She was compared to what she used to look at her peak. was it right? No. Was she obese at the time? No, she just didn’t look as good as she once did. Do people in general find fit people more attractive than say, ‘chubby’ people ? Yes.

@popcornhistory There’s an ex student of Otto’s wife. Wife had supported them when family didn’t. Grown up student comes into Otto’s life in his dark time. As I recall it…

@curlylines oh what parts are similar? my dad's trying to remember the movie lol

does anyone remember a movie about two school boys and a littler one is bullied a bit and then it jumps to post school life and the little one has come out as trans and is now a courier and they meet each other again but the older one doesn’t realise the courier is his pal?
