“If a student can decode a word competently but doesn’t know what it means, it doesn’t matter. Background knowledge needs to be part of the program. This curriculum does that effectively,” Nancy Scharff said. #KnowledgeMatters💙 chalkbeat.org/philadelphia/2…

@_djhall Such a lucky school to have you, DJH.

“…background knowledge is critical for developing our students’ comprehension skills. In addition to decoding & fluency, MS teachers should focus on reading a lot about a single topic rather than a lot of texts about a variety of unrelated topics.” edutopia.org/article/strugg…

World-class professional learning continued on day 2 of the MLDP Leadership Seminar today. More than 250 middle leaders and their facilitators focused on embedding research practices in our fantastic schools. Thanks to our program partners at @Uni_Newcastle and @UOW.

Enjoyed engaging in Day 1 of the seminar today, and particularly enjoyed Nathan Towney’s session on the importance of cultivating a culture of engagement and belonging in schools. So many golden key takeaways to bring back to school. @NSWSLI

Our year 3 students are learning about the First Fleet & writing narrative recounts of the journey. Explicit instruction meets engaging topics and lots of knowledge building. @CarterM_PTL @training247au #SoLaRBattalion #HawkesburyBattalion

@jhendersonn7 @adam_voigt Sounds great!

So many take aways from @adam_voigt’s ‘The Art of School Culture Leadership’ session. Language is important. Culture is the collective noun for behaviours you encourage or tolerate. A really worthwhile session if you have the opportunity. Very much hoping he makes it to the GC.

@jhendersonn7 @teachNSW I did this when I was in my fourth year of uni. It was awesome!

@teachNSW I so wish that this was around when I was a third year uni student. This would have been such an incredible opportunity and experience. I would love to have had the chance to do this.

Proud of one of my best friends and incredible past colleague @_djhall who has secured himself a substantive DP role. Keep kicking goals Mr Hall, we all knew from the beginning that you were destined for big things. And what an incredible asset you will be to your new school.

Today we wave goodbye to @_djhall as he embarks on his journey as DP at WPPS. We have been fortunate for his leadership and look forward to following his educational leadership journey 👏. @casey2_donna @Em_Litchfield
