A1. We are in the game of education and our students are the clients we serve. We probably spend more time with them than our own family so knowing them is kinda important.

A2. Let's challenge the education sector to focus on the data that matters. It does not come in the form of a number and you cannot plot it on a graph. We need to find comfort it that. #TLAPDownunder #KnowTeachEmpower

A3. Right now I am pulling apart a washing machine with a young man who absolutely intrigues me. We just 'chew the fat' as we pass tools to each other.#TLAPDownunder #KnowTeachEmpower

A1. This is the million dollar question. Are we brave enough to measure success beyond a grade? We need to take a broader view and look for the skills which will promote successful outcomes for life. #TLAPdownunder #KnowTeachEmpower

A2. I like seeing Ts use Ss as the experts in the room to leverage learning for their peers. Ss are far more likely to listen and learn from their peers than the teacher. That fact may be a blow for Ts but peer influence is significant. #TLAPdownunder

A3. Anything that encourages collaboration. I am loving the Expert Jigsaw of late. It gives everyone in the room a voice and encourages Ss to explore others' opinions. #TLAPdownunder #KnowTeachEmpower

Saw an interest tweet asking people to identify their 1 word for 2021. Mine is ‘momentum’. All too often I allow the bumps of life to derail my mental health. I can only try hey!

To all Australian teachers prepping for 2021, consider this, "The purpose of education is to learn who you are, how you fit into the world, and how you can contribute your gifts to humanity." - Joanne McEachen If that's the goal, what are the actions to enable Ss to achieve?

Aussie teachers the count down to the new school year is on. First impressions matter. What are you going to do and say to earn you a 10 out of 10? #knowteachempower

Partnerships are paramount. The demands on family life are ever increasing and we as educators are needing to become more agile when it comes to communicating with families. What are some of your 'go-to' strategies for connecting with families? #knowteachempower

As teachers, we only get one shot at the first impression. We can guarantee to you this, EVERY parent, EVERY family member, EVERY family friend will ask this question of EVERY child at the end of the day - 'Do you like your teacher?' What's in your bag of tricks?

#ThoughtForTheDay The best teachers don’t always teach to the lesson plan. They see the moments when they need to stop & step aside & teach manners, respect, kindness, patience, forgiveness, or how to show appreciation for others.Simply put, they teach life & model it. #Culturize
