It’s not just students who need Maslow. Teachers need: 1) feel safe / supported 2) emotional connection/ relationships 3) feel respected 4) appreciation 5) value within the team 6) autonomy/ flexibility 7) take time for self and family

And just like that... Penrith Valley Performing Arts Festival is over for another year! I'm still reeling from the incredible talent of our @NSWEducation students. I'm certain I witnessed more than one rising star! Thank you to @_The_Joan staff - absolute legends! #ProudlyPublic

That masking tape message was put on the back of one of our production team teachers by the student VET team. How sweet is that? 🤪💛

@DebSummerhayes joins us at #NOIINSW #symposium2023 to share what makes her #proud to be public - the spirit of collaboration, being agents of change, being curious about best practice, and brave enough to talk honestly about what’s not working. Proud of the difference we make.

“We are the Lyrebirds!” Principal @JacquelineLoc10 from Yandel’ora SSP. Each of our children need their own voice. Our job is to listen and to support them in being heard and to amplify their voices.

On Monday I'll present Q+A, then step away. Racism is violence and I have had enough

On Monday I'll present Q+A, then step away. Racism is violence and I have had enough

Although I try to shield myself from the racist abuse I'm frequently subjected to, the fact it is out there poisons the air I breathe. Now I have had enough – so on Monday night I will present Q+A,...

We had the privilege of hosting @DebSummerhayes R/Dep Sec at Glenmore Park PS yesterday. Our stage 3 students shared their learning with Deb, & in true teacher style, she used her highly developed questioning technique to dig deeper and challenge their understanding. Thanks, Deb!

Little hands making clever things. Little minds problem solving together and learning from one another. I am not needed here - time for a coffee! #holidays #LEGOSpike

The #interactive #Gambay map from @FirstLangAU showcases 700+ Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander languages. It has accompanying videos and teacher notes, and it's a fantastic way to help kids develop an understanding of the land they live on: ab.co/3E5oOAp

So inspired by @82Krisw today as she set up our first interactive shared writing experience for K-6! What was hiding beneath the construction site at our school? Aliens? Buried treasure? Such an engaging task! #nangamay #dreamstriveachieve
