Hi DoorDash – my daughter has been trying to resolve a payment issue for several weeks now with no response from support (Ref 705250456). She’s a student and relies on this income - please help her. It seems so cruel to completely ignore her. #DoorDashSupport

Bit of a cricketing bucket list moment today. Have always wanted to visit the Galle CC fort ground. While I couldn’t line up some actual #cricket while here, it didn’t disappoint. Pretty magical spot. 🏏🇱🇰

One amazing NSW Principal’s office, reflecting his school’s commitment to a restorative school culture. It’s little wonder this school continues to outperform so many others - academically, socially and behaviourally.

We’ve become obsessed with behaviour data like it’s a scoreboard - but numbers aren’t understanding. If your spreadsheet isn’t leading you to deeper questions, it’s leading you astray. Read more here ... hubs.ly/Q03nV7WP0

A message from one of our amazing partner schools through today. This isn’t just about schools, it’s about a better country. This work is hard at times only because it’s so worthy.

We’re delighted to be recognised by ⁦⁦⁦ACER⁩ in their Wellbeing Program Guide. wellbeingguide.acer.org/program/real-s…

Seems that oversimplifying and then outsourcing the solution to a draconian machete ban (and yes, you can still do that) has presented as a dare to teens and hasn’t addressed conduct. The tools are still available and the propensity is still high. theage.com.au/politics/victo…

Looking for an Australian school with a comprehensive approach to better nutrition that would like to speak to me about the positive impact on student wellbeing &/or behaviour - for my next book. Any recommendations?

“Proceed with caution” - Tina King is a wise and experienced educator. We should be careful what we wish for with this policy and also interrogate its primary purpose. theage.com.au/national/victo…

Victorian principals are getting sweeping new powers to crack down on school bullies and violent teens. Soon they will be able to expel students for bad behaviour outside school and even online. youtu.be/Kjn2w0z0dcc Ainsley Koch #7NEWS

My opinion piece on student suspensions published in The Age today. #schoolculture #studentsuspension #victoria #edchat theage.com.au/national/victo…

A rather important blog. The tired oppositional obsession with advocating absolutely or fighting against explicit teaching is articulately exposed on the maths teaching landscape. A must read for school leaders. blog.aare.edu.au/is-successful-…

Couldn’t stand Morrison. But I won’t oppose his King’s Birthday award or sign petitions. If there’s a lesson from the US, it’s that confidence in institutions counts. Whoever wants to award a pandemic PM this way just sees him differently to me, and that’s ok. #notthehilltodieon

Next week, I’m using an online workshop to zero in on teacher consistency (or inconsistency, if that’s your school’s starting point). If actionable answers and a new angle on this omnipresent challenge appeal, I’d love to see ya there. #edchat realschools.com.au/events/teacher…

Two teachers at Heathcote PS experimented with circle architecture to maximise instructional impact, group engagement and individual productivity. The rest of the staff came for a look. Then they all changed their classroom architecture. This is teacher efficacy in action. 💪🏻

Ok DoorDash DoorDash Help we’re now past 2-months of ignored emails, sending my daughter to bot driven chats that don’t reply and cruelly withholding her earned pay. We’ll have to escalate this to daily posts, authorities & media next if you won’t make a simple admin fix .

Catalysing positive community contribution to the culture of school is about building parental trust in your expertise ... not being friends. Read more here ... hubs.ly/Q03rZvhF0

It could be just me, but is anyone else’s noticing not one case study, not one statistic and not one study mentioned in this? I’m not saying it isn’t possible to improve a school this way, but geez Is this just an ad for an ideology? educationhq.com/news/rigorous-…

After almost 53yrs, together we said goodbye last night to my parents home in Frankston. Sitting in that backyard and seeing my most special people enjoying the joy and safety of this modest, yet truly remarkable, home one last time was quite the moment.
