But do you enjoy collaborating on research projects?

Sadly we all are John 😂
Is that me? “Ageing”
Ageing workforce tipped to worsen national teacher shortage smh.com.au/education/ageing-…
I do hope you also listened to researchers such as @Jennygore4 and @nicolemockler who have extensive experience researching teachers and schools
I do hope you are right @BecWest81 but sadly I won’t hold my breath - I do hope @Jennygore4 was there to share her research
A short tweet can't express how validated & heard teachers were today at the roundtable! Change is coming & it's using feedback from teachers. A robust discussion with planning for action. It won't happen overnight but change is coming teachers. I have faith!
@JasonClareMP
Excellent advice from an expert who knows what she is talking about having spent many hours in schools working with teachers - this is who Minister Clare should be listening to
When it comes to solving the teacher shortage, we need to look to rigorous evidence and pay attention to teachers' needs. Here are my thoughts in today's @canberratimes

Governments over the years have spent money on resources - when do they learn from past mistakes? Teachers need time to collaborate and plan. We need more teachers and they need less f2f teaching with more time each week for preparation and planning
We choose our teaching methods according to what our students need and where they need to go. We write our resources and lessons alongside those decisions. Fundamental to teaching is our work to make evidenced based pedagogical decisions. We need time. theconversation.com/this-is-…
They were the good old days I remember well
Neighbours memory lane - I taught in England in 1988 when Neighbours was big on TV in the UK - another teacher noticed that the kids wanted to talk to me on playground duty as they were trying to imitate my accent 😂
Two of my favourite mathematics educators making a real difference to mathematics education in NSW and beyond
Well done Helen - excellent research to inform the profession #QTP
Yes I agree and yet we still have researchers, educators, some teachers and others promoting one side or the other as the only solution- typically the direct instruction agenda

An excellent article from Jenny Gore - it's time to stop the arguments about direct instruction versus problem solving and focus on quality teaching ...
Ideological battles over the curriculum and pedagogy miss the complexities of teaching educationhq.com/news/ideolog…
An excellent article clearly arguing the importance of guided inquiry for mathematics and science learning
Good teaching is about using guided inquiry + explicit instruction - it’s not an either/or. “In guided inquiry, students learn more than the sum of direct instruction” theage.com.au/national/victo… @maura23bp @CatholicEdParra @gavhays
