Compliance = ensuring all Ss are able to access mandated educational outcomes = building a better society through competent and confident citizens :) x.com/swell_network/…

Surveying Ss gives student voice/choice. Sharing data with staff & asking if they have any matching skills or interests in those student-defined activities gives staff voice/choice. Participating in the culmination of both is an incredibly empowering experience ThomasAcresPS x.com/seanp68/status…

Witnessing Narrabri West PS’s embedded Formative Assessment practises has been nothing short of an enlightening experience. There’s been no other TPL that has come even close to matching the insights I’ve gained from the power of their student-centred pedagogy. ThomasAcresPS

Loving the rhythmical hum of ‘in-task’ classroom noise as Yr 6 Ss ThomasAcresPS work collaboratively to achieve their learning goal: ‘I am learning to use diagrams to add meaning to a text.’ Sean Pope Catherine Flamos Rebecca Kerron Yvonne Bryce

Professor Peter Grootenboer presenting to middle leaders at Wollongong University reminding us that it’s teachers, not schools or Principals who make an impact on student learning. So what are we doing to ensure teacher success?

I change lives everyday. I facilitate growth. I take human minds & I empower them with knowledge, skills & understanding. I make kids believe they are capable. I work hard. They work harder. Together we find a way to take ourselves further than where we were yesterday. I teach.

Ss ThomasAcresPS are becoming more familiar with Formative Assessment as we endeavour to embed LG/SC into everyday practises. Here, the class created the learning goal and success criteria statements based on their understanding of task requirements in Art Sean Pope Catherine Flamos

Imagine how powerful the overall educational outcomes of Ss would be if there was as a collective responsibility for all the ch’n in our greater ‘tribe’: Rather than individual schools acting as ‘silos’ who retain extraordinary tch’r talents, they should be distributively shared!

Love it! Yet another valuable contribution to the profession.

Looks like quite the spectacle! Claudia Sannio when are we going to organise one ThomasAcresPS :)
