@XpatEducator @MichelleChaulk might be something in these. I am going to have a deeper look when I get on a bigger screen and put on my glasses 🤓

I understand that Jo Boaler is currently giving presentations to government school maths teachers and school leaders in Victoria. I hope they exercise some critical thinking and that this does not set us back too much. I am happy to talk to anyone effected for free as a kind of antidote.

@mrk_013_edu @simon_mulready @nswppa Congratulations Troy!

@simon_mulready @nswppa I humbly and proudly say thank you.

Things that made me happy so far this week- 🧡Seeing students with backpacks on at bus stops. 💛The sound of learners in the playground with their friends. 💚Teachers talking about ways they have connected with their students over the last few days.

@GrantFenning3 @MicrosoftEDU Congrats!! Nice one!

School bags on hooks have never looked so good!

@camthomson16 Just a few to support my work in Aboriginal Education, student learning dispositions and a few leadership ones. So excited! Reading keeps me sane!

@smith_kiri What are these reads? ☺️

Today is a good day. Actually a great day! Freedom Day and parcels. Thank you to my hard working Postie who keeps delivering the goods!

@a__kerr You are sooo right! I love both!

@smith_kiri Ohhhh what did you get? Only thing better than delivery from booktopia is one from officeworks 😄

@MichelleChaulk I forgot to mention that I have bought so many books lately that I now have an 'account manager' at Booktopia!

What a lovely looking book. @smith_kiri

@MichelleChaulk Oooh I like it! On it!! 📚

Silver linings-Love PL via Zoom. By recording it I am able to watch it back and analyse it to see where I could improve. #reflectingonmyself #learnerhere

@Mel_Macmillan @berryst @Kazegraham @AdamK8t I found it an insightful but emotional read. Thank you for reminding me of it.

We ARE in this together. How do I know? I ring a colleague on a Sat arvo for some help. After a massive week, she still happily answers and graciously goes beyond to sort me out. Thank you VG! You saved me hours! @MichelleChaulk

One for the book club: increased precision of quantified grading in classrooms can exacerbate negative impacts on student voice and intrinsic motivation. Thank you @SusanDebraBlum @alfiekohn for this read #ungrading
