Teachers and principals in public schools are underpaid and overworked. And every one of the schools they work in, whether they serve a wealthier population or a poorer one, is chronically underfunded." Jane Caro writes on inequality in school funding. satpa.pe/tJTieQ9

First tweet in quite some time. Is it still called a tweet??? Anyway… Having a mathematical ball with Jo Boaler and Cathy Williams at their Youcubed event today. The importance of the math mindset and the ways in which we teach math have never been more important.

Perhaps instead of a tweet we go with a #variable! 😊 Thank you again for sharing your learnings and expertise today with Cathy Williams! A lot to take away and digest! Enjoy the rest of your time in Aus!

Hope all Principals, and school leaders for that matter, had a great #principalsday2023 today! It’s a bloody tough gig at times but certainly worth it!

As a Principal it has been refreshing and awaking to hear your ‘Teaching of Reading’ presentation today Emina McLean. Thank you for sharing your knowledge! 👏🏻

Very excited and keen to be joining Bron Ryrie Jones for her #playbookproject24 this morning. This will be a huge body of work for our leadership team in shaping our core instructional practices.

“Our job as school leaders is to create the conditions so that every teacher is getting better.” Bron Ryrie Jones #playbookproject24

There are 1001 big ideas that matter to us as school leaders and teachers to support our students. What FEW big ideas matter to you and your school setting? #playbookproject24

Do schools have their own version of an Instructional Playbook? If so, what are the big ideas that drive that body of work? #playbookproject24

Our schools are absolutely full of wonderful teachers demonstrating wonderful practice - how do we capture this to affirm, teach, educate and highlight quality practice? Bron Ryrie Jones #playbookproject24

After this mornings Instructional Playbook session w/ Bron Ryrie Jones, we’ve (currently) decided that our BIG ideas will be… 1. Providing Explicit Teaching, 2. Promoting Active Participation, 3. Checking Understanding and 4. Provide Purposeful Feedback. #playbookoroject24

It’s been a big morning of deep discussion curating and categorising our Big Ideas and Techniques with Bron Ryrie Jones as part of the #playbookproject24. This powerful and intense body of work is perfect for our school and shifting our practices from great to exceptional!

It arrived! Pretty thrilled to have my hands on this and am greatly looking forward to getting stuck in to it over the holiday break! I’ll let you know Dr Shyam Barr my thoughts when I’m done! Appreciate the message in the book you left too! 🙏🏻 #selfregulatedlearning @ambapress

Great to be back working on our Instructional Playbook with Bron Ryrie Jones this morning. Deep diving into our Big Ideas and instructional techniques. #playbookproject24

It’s been great so far to hear from Ben Carroll , Jenny Donovan from Australian Education Research Organisation (AERO) and Kirstin Ferguson at the Victorian Department of Education Victorian Academy of Teaching and Leadership Gov. Schools Principal Conference. Informative and provocative.

Looking forward to our final #playbookproject24 workshop with Bron Ryrie Jones. Our engagement in this series has and will shape our core instructional practices for some time to come!

How many of us as school leaders pay attention to how we deliver high impact and effective PL? A great resource to support effective PL can be found here: educationendowmentfoundation.org.uk/education-evid… #playbookproject24 Bron Ryrie Jones EEF
