    “Creating an environment where learners are encouraged to take risks in pursuit of learning & growth rather than perfection is absolutely foundational to shifting practices”. Trying really hard to do this in my classes

    My next favorite quote from “It is important to deliberately create the conditions where learners feel valued & can openly share challenges to grow & improve as a critical part of the learning process.” Totally ❤️ing this book thx to for sharing

    Everything wrong with our very broken system

    Narrowing the scope of teaching to simply helping students hit academic benchmarks and pass NAPLAN is having a profound impact on teacher wellbeing.

    Tell my friends when looking at a school... if they only talk about results or begin with “we are the highest performing school in the area”..... run for the hills.

    “If the principal is fixated on academic results, they (parents) shoud think about looking elsewhere” So true. There is much more to school than academic results.

    The worst 9 words in a school...”This is the way we have always done it.” followed closely by “everyone else does it this way”... sometimes the status quo needs to be challenged and discussed

    On Mon I sent my welcome email to my Yr 12 Bio class. I tell them about me, my family & what I got up to on the holidays & then I have them email me about their holidays. I’ve done this for a number years & every year I love the responses I get back.

    “When those closest to the learners have intimate knowledge of the day-to-day context & the evolving needs of learners, yet limited decision making power, we miss out on powerful opportunities for leading in our schools.”
