A beautiful day in Sydney. I’m looking forward to joining 300 educators alongside Tom Sherrington to explore evidence-informed practice and job-embedded professional learning #growthcultures22

Session 1 - exploring the complexity of teaching, evidence-informed wisdom and shifting instructional habits Tom Sherrington Walkthrus Teaching Sprints Professional Learning #growthcultures22

Working w/Tom Sherrington & Simon Breakspear PhD to develop & refine our "Nangamay Way"! I appreciate the emphasis on effective practices and processes, without dictating how this will look in each context. Valuable discussions today. Sharon Gordon @mrs_a_johnson KrisW_82 Ryan

Meeting our kindy students and their families this week; our Nangamay P.S. team and community connecting as we commence our journey in education together was just incredible. @mrs_a_johnson Jake Wholohan Laura Curran Ryan KrisW_82 Chantal Beltran

So inspired by KrisW_82 today as she set up our first interactive shared writing experience for K-6! What was hiding beneath the construction site at our school? Aliens? Buried treasure? Such an engaging task! #nangamay #dreamstriveachieve

The #interactive #Gambay map from First Languages Aust showcases 700+ Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander languages. It has accompanying videos and teacher notes, and it's a fantastic way to help kids develop an understanding of the land they live on: ab.co/3E5oOAp

Little hands making clever things. Little minds problem solving together and learning from one another. I am not needed here - time for a coffee! #holidays #LEGOSpike

What a great, short, explanation of the Voice to parliament.

We had the privilege of hosting @DebSummerhayes R/Dep Sec at Glenmore Park PS yesterday. Our stage 3 students shared their learning with Deb, & in true teacher style, she used her highly developed questioning technique to dig deeper and challenge their understanding. Thanks, Deb!

Truth before reconciliation - we need the diverse voices of our nation to be heard. No one should be silenced by vitriol and racism. abc.net.au/news/2023-05-1…

“We are the Lyrebirds!” Principal Jacqueline Lockyer from Yandel’ora SSP. Each of our children need their own voice. Our job is to listen and to support them in being heard and to amplify their voices.

Publicly educated former students of #NOIINSW schools - Caitlin and Chloe Keenan-Dunn are #proud to be public - sharing with us how their voices were heard, how they were valued as individuals and how their independence and growth as life-long learners was nurtured.

@DebSummerhayes joins us at #NOIINSW #symposium2023 to share what makes her #proud to be public - the spirit of collaboration, being agents of change, being curious about best practice, and brave enough to talk honestly about what’s not working. Proud of the difference we make.

So sad to miss this one. Chloe and Caitlin are incredible girls and wonderful advocates for public education. Inspirational 😍

Congratulations @DebSummerhayes on your successful appointment as Deputy Secretary. Your passion for Public Education, your advocacy for our staff, students and community has never waivered and your heart for equity and excellence inspire me to action everyday!

It’s not just students who need Maslow. Teachers need: 1) feel safe / supported 2) emotional connection/ relationships 3) feel respected 4) appreciation 5) value within the team 6) autonomy/ flexibility 7) take time for self and family
