Are you a team player who wants to teach adolescents? They’re not as scary as you may think! Come and join our #middleschool team on Queensland’s beautiful Fraser Coast. seek.com.au/job/40157364

If you’re a leader...
... I don’t care about your mission statement, vision statement, strategic plan, or policy positions...
... as much as I care about how you treat people.

i like to leave as much of my hair. around the house as possible. it is my confetti. i am a party
I teach using a framework that explicitly teaches skills as well as subject content, to prepare them more effectively for the future. How do I communicate the importance of developing these skills for the future, when adolescents only focus on the present? @adolesuccess @AMLE
Excited to be in Brisbane for the #positiveschools conference for the next couple of days.

The 5 most 'in demand' skills. People that say 21st century skills aren't the future of education.... are kidding themselves! pin.it/3cauuwfmap74fl

Just reading up on a school who is managing staff wellbeing: Every week they arrange ‘Thank yous’ and birthdays. "We also ask ‘Is there anything to shout-out about?’ and do ‘Staff of the Term.’ All staff nominate someone who has gone the extra mile = they get paid a day’s leave."
A discussion is had with the student where, through reflection, an attempt is made to encourage the student to view the failure as an opportunity. Use whatever the consequence may be as a learning experience. After that, their next decision is the most important thing. #MYEdOz

Just got a call for a job reference... all the guy wanted to know was how this student works in a team situation and how he communicates! 21st century skills all the way!!!! Students nowadays can learn anything in the way of content, but they need the most help with skills!!!!

Sadly there is a pressure to be paperless. This is putting the focus on the wrong thing. Learning should be the focus and kids should touch something other than a screen.
#MYEdOz I'd like to see entrance requirements to universities change, focussing more on skills. This would encourage more teachers to find the balance between content and skills.

the human went out. to have fun with some frens. they promised they’d be back soon. so i’m not worried at all. and in the meantime. i found an old jacket. that smells like they’re still here. it will be my new bed. until they return
Having another great day at the @adolesuccess Middle Years Learners course. Disappointed though, that in a group of about 40, there are only four male staff 🤔...a sad decline in the profession.
Looking forward to the @adolesuccess Middle Years Learning Workshop today in Brisbane!
