Just because you call it a ‘learning walk’ and not an ‘observation’, does not matter if you’re busy making judgments using a criteria based tick sheet (that the teacher does or doesn’t ever see) of things you’re looking for in a lesson. It’s still an observation.

A lesson my advisor tried to give me that I wasn't ready to hear in grad school: Stop feeling honored that people ask you to do extra labor. I am fully aware of this scam now. Encouraging others to learn this early.

We urgently need 16,000 additional people to give blood or plasma by the end of November. Even if you don’t know what blood type you have, we still need you. We need all blood types every day. donateblood.page.link/Qrqa

Public schools are mothers, private schools are fathers. That’s a metaphor that fits so neatly I’ll likely carry it with me for a long time. Read @JaneCaro ‘s piece here: news.aeuvic.asn.au/opinion/t… - Some very useful analysis that cuts through the confusion @EduTweetOz @AEUfederal

OPINION | Rather than heeding the PMs exultation to rush back to schools, perhaps we ought to pause and consider how we might repair, rather than resume, our education system? @steven_kolber educationhq.com/news/dont-ru…

I wrote a piece in an attempt to represent the sentiment and feelings of my colleagues and to connect this to broader points of low teacher status, inequity and poor funding. Spare a minute or so to read and/or share it? educationhq.com/news/another… - #aussieED @EduSum @prispho – at Melbourne, Victoria

'Another stinging insult': teachers are being used as martyrs in COVID-19 agenda

Teachers are being used as martyrs to social cohesion and economic ‘business-as-usual’ antics when the reality is anything but.

Great activity put together by my HoD to show the process of meiosis. We put together a slideshow of photos together which Yr 12 pupils then each narrated to explain the process. #ASEChat #scichat
