Today we hosted Workshop 3 of our Explicit Teaching: Theory to Action initiative across the Glenfield Principal Network. We looked into cognitive load theory and shared our next steps with other schools. @GreenwayParkPS @MoLloyd22 @dace_elletson

@david_shearer4 @GreenwayParkPS @MoLloyd22 @dace_elletson It was an excellent day of learning today. Thanks to you and Mo for a great initiative. :)

Casula HS iStem students have sent an algae experiment they designed onboard Space X to the International Space Station. Students will test microgravity influences on algae growth, the hypothesis being algae will hyper reproduce due to the lack of gravity. education.nsw.gov.au/news/latest-ne…

Reading aloud changes children's lives! Just 10 minutes a day can be enough to help them find the love of books & become lifelong readers. But the more you do, the better. Never stop reading books, sharing books, talking about books with kids. #literacy (Art: @chrisriddell50 )
