@EuroAthletics @teambelgium @The_EOC At a local juniors meet, I once threw javelin so my club entered every event. I was a 1500m runner. Throw 1: foul Throw 2: foul Throw 3: throw straight down - 1.5 m. Ignore judges begging me to foul. Last place. 1 point! The team is the thing in athletics. Kudos to Jolien!

Every point *does* count at the European Team Championships! Seventh in the shot put, Jolien Boumkwo 🇧🇪 steps in for the 100m hurdles at the very last minute in #Silesia2023! 👏 #EG2023 (@TeamBelgium, @The_EOC)

@MApodogan @greg16676935420 @PicturesFoIder Nice. Nose grows. Ears wiggle. One is waving out of sync. (Simpatico with the one waving out of sync!)

@greg16676935420 @PicturesFoIder Warm-up for the eyes Spot the differences The author claims that among these bears there are three differences. Which? And how quickly did you find them?

How do you do it?

@greg_ashman No place for inquiry based learning? Anywhere? What about a well-constructed blend of explicit teaching and inquiry-based learning?

Seriously?

Our teacher workforce is under real strain. The key is to invest in initiatives that reduce strain AND boost student outcomes heraldsun.com.au/news/teaching-…

Students learn in different ways and data is the key to providing a tailored experience. pwc.to/3dLUu40 #education #earlyed

@LindaCorrin This analysis backs this claim. Each dot = 1 school; vertical axis is ave. student progress from Y3 to Y5 in numeracy. There is huge vertical variation for any given level of advantage (ICSEA)! @GrattanInst report Measuring Student Progress has details grattan.edu.au/report/measuri…

@peter_goss comments that high performing schools can offer up to two months' equivalent of extra learning per year. Analytics can play a key role in understanding the difference in teacher/learner approaches to help improvements across the board. #MelbLASummit2022

On my first day as Foreign Minister, I want to share some thoughts with our Pacific family. Our region faces unprecedented challenges, but we will face them together. We will achieve our shared aspirations together. And we will listen because we care what the Pacific has to say.

An honor to present at the AITSL HALT conference today

@owenikin82 … and then “Making time for great teaching”, about ways in which schools and education systems could make more time for all teachers, recognising that time is a major challenge. grattan.edu.au/report/making-…

@owenikin82 Fair call Owen. After this report, published “Top Teachers” which recommended much higher pay for expert teachers in roles where they can pass on their expertise… grattan.edu.au/report/top-tea…

Labor: scholarships for high achievers to study teaching & a promise to work with states to reform teacher career path with expert Master Teacher roles. @GrattanInst research shows these policies could make a real difference for teachers & students. theage.com.au/politics/feder…

@GrattanInst report Attracting High Achievers makes the case: grattan.edu.au/report/attract… @peter_goss @SonnersJulie

@MediaOneAus Funding is an issue. It is not the only issue.

@peter_goss Then money is not issue then.

Australia’s 3 school sectors show no meaningful difference in NAPLAN progress. That doesn’t mean all schools are equal. After accounting for SES, the best schools in each sector help their students progress much faster in reading and numeracy than average. smh.com.au/national/nsw/n…

@MediaOneAus Government school $$s has simply kept pace with enrolments and wages. Meanwhile, non-government schools got big increases above this. grattan.edu.au/news/school-fu… I agree Cth funding grew substantially, but a school doesn’t care where a dollar comes from. The total is what counts.

@peter_goss Huh? Oh so what about the record funding they receive right now under the LNP? What are they doing with all that money?????! Record amounts and still 20 years of declines. It’s not the money. ministers.dese.gov.au/tudge/record-i…

It’s time to live up to our national promise of needs based #Gonski funding. The extra cash to government schools could support a range of important initiatives: expert teachers,wellbeing and mental health, students with disability, and more. #auspol theguardian.com/australia-news…

@JoshFrydenberg announces that Rapid Antigen Tests will be made tax deductible. In other words: the less you earn, the more you will pay for a RAT test. Seriously? #auspol
