Many schools use icypole sticks as a core technique for questioning. This aims to increase engagement, accountability to learning, and spread of participation. It can work well, but here's why we should think critically about the practice. (1/12)

Reflecting on @talkinged19 's #DLD webinar, it strikes me that what is often recommended for our most vulnerable students is what's good for everyone: sequenced, highly #explicit and responsive #instruction . Teacher-led, not built on assumed knowledge, and nothing left to chance.

Nothing matters more than our people. That's why we're thrilled with the @DocklandsPS staff opinion data for 2022. Professional learning: 95% (Similar Schools: 76%) Staff wellbeing: 88% (SS: 69%) School climate: 92% (SS: 79%) School leadership: 96% (SS: 73%)

Those I value most in education connect principles to practice; they work with big and interesting ideas, and also provide evidence-informed, codified and flexible guidance that teachers can action. People like @EminaMcLean and @teacherhead set the bar; we need more of them.

Enjoying a rare 8 days straight in my office, working on quality assessment practices w wonderful @DETVic teachers. We’re digging into construct relevance and representation, exploring why less (with a laserlike focus on the right things) can often be more. #assess #interpret

@Brad_Nguyen_ is a full time @VicGovDE primary school teacher who finds time to design and deliver world-class professional learning for teachers and leaders (across systems) on a Saturday morning. Love my colleagues. #rEDBall24

Over the next two days, 150+ teachers and leaders will gather in Melbourne to dig into responsive teaching, and principles of expert coaching. I'm incredibly lucky to be joined by these powerhouse experts for a panel to round out the week! @lifeoflottie @rachabuck @cleowesthorpe

Gearing up for a great day of @DETVic assessment webinars, with the frightening added bonus of no daycare. I'm sure participants will enjoy the live demonstrations of direction instruction: "Lucie, for the fourteenth time - please, get off my lap." #COVID19Vic

The more I work with teachers in assessment, the more I sense that the tasks and rubrics developed are not nearly as valuable as the conversations teachers had to write them. The best rubrics are artefacts of a robust professional discussion. Student work samples play a key role.

My Nana, Gwen Ryrie, would have been 100 years old today (or thereabouts). She began life in the most unpromising way– penniless, homeless, nameless, with no family to belong to. She was a foundling, abandoned in a basket with a little case of clean, folded baby clothes. (1/6)

And so, the parent volunteer era begins! Today is my first day leading the newly-formed choir at Lucie’s school. I’m feeling verrry rusty, but who cares? Singing is life. 🎶 @VicGovDE #musiceducation

Actual footage of me teaching this week. The best thing about teaching @EduMelb interns is that they openly mock you/tell excellent jokes/share hilarious stories from the classroom. I think they're wonderful; it's a huge privilege to work in initial teacher education @unimelb

Really interesting chat w a foundation teacher who is recording explicit phonics lessons for her students. Commented that what is "muscle memory" in class is very hard to replicate in a video; "I never realised how much I adjust based on real-time feedback from the kids".

Very pleased to be presenting a @ThinkForwardEdu webinar on beginning teachers and the science of learning. I am really interested in how we can best #prepare beginning teachers for the field. I hope you’ll join me for the discussions. Feb 16, 7.15pm AEDT.

Today I'm assessing @UniMelb Clinical Praxis Exams. Interns report on a sequence of lessons, using evidence (of student learning) and research literature to defend/critique decisions. Our interns (secondary) have been teaching for a semester. Blown away by the quality. @EduMelb
