How many of us as school leaders pay attention to how we deliver high impact and effective PL? A great resource to support effective PL can be found here: educationendowmentfoundation… #playbookproject24 @BronRyrieJones @EducEndowFoundn
Looking forward to our final #playbookproject24 workshop with @BronRyrieJones. Our engagement in this series has and will shape our core instructional practices for some time to come!
It’s been great so far to hear from @BenCarrollMP , Jenny Donovan from @EdResearchAU and @kirstinferguson at the @VicGovDE @AcademyVIC Gov. Schools Principal Conference. Informative and provocative.
Great to be back working on our Instructional Playbook with @BronRyrieJones this morning. Deep diving into our Big Ideas and instructional techniques. #playbookproject24
It arrived!
Pretty thrilled to have my hands on this and am greatly looking forward to getting stuck in to it over the holiday break! I’ll let you know @shyambarr my thoughts when I’m done! Appreciate the message in the book you left too! 🙏🏻 #selfregulatedlearning @ambapress
It’s been a big morning of deep discussion curating and categorising our Big Ideas and Techniques with @BronRyrieJones as part of the #playbookproject24. This powerful and intense body of work is perfect for our school and shifting our practices from great to exceptional!
After this mornings Instructional Playbook session w/ @BronRyrieJones, we’ve (currently) decided that our BIG ideas will be… 1. Providing Explicit Teaching, 2. Promoting Active Participation, 3. Checking Understanding and 4. Provide Purposeful Feedback. #playbookoroject24
Our schools are absolutely full of wonderful teachers demonstrating wonderful practice - how do we capture this to affirm, teach, educate and highlight quality practice? @BronRyrieJones #playbookproject24
Do schools have their own version of an Instructional Playbook? If so, what are the big ideas that drive that body of work? #playbookproject24
There are 1001 big ideas that matter to us as school leaders and teachers to support our students. What FEW big ideas matter to you and your school setting? #playbookproject24
“Our job as school leaders is to create the conditions so that every teacher is getting better.” @BronRyrieJones #playbookproject24
Very excited and keen to be joining @BronRyrieJones for her #playbookproject24 this morning. This will be a huge body of work for our leadership team in shaping our core instructional practices.
As a Principal it has been refreshing and awaking to hear your ‘Teaching of Reading’ presentation today @EminaMcLean. Thank you for sharing your knowledge! 👏🏻
Hope all Principals, and school leaders for that matter, had a great #principalsday2023 today! It’s a bloody tough gig at times but certainly worth it!
Perhaps instead of a tweet we go with a #variable! 😊 Thank you again for sharing your learnings and expertise today with @chaoskeeper11! A lot to take away and digest! Enjoy the rest of your time in Aus!
First tweet in quite some time. Is it still called a tweet??? Anyway… Having a mathematical ball with @joboaler and @chaoskeeper11 at their @youcubed event today. The importance of the math mindset and the ways in which we teach math have never been more important.

Teachers and principals in public schools are underpaid and overworked. And every one of the schools they work in, whether they serve a wealthier population or a poorer one, is chronically underfunded."
