An amazing networking opportunity!
We are proud to present four distinct networks in 2024: Head Teachers, Primary Teachers, Science Ext Network, and the new Professional Practice Network designed exclusively for secondary school teachers. All Networks are FREE with a STANSW Membership.

I need to work on serving better facial expressions and stances in photos during presentations but I had a ball presenting today and collaborating with the education community at @stansw #stage6conference. So much was learned reflectively but also from others!
Performance is not dropping in stage 6 science courses - in fact the % of band 6 results against unwavering performance descriptors show increased performance of students over time @stansw #stage6conference #stanswteachingcommunity
The enrolments in stage 6 bio, chem and phys have not drastically dropped at all since the introduction of standards referencing introduced to the HSC in 2001 @stansw #stage6conference #STANSWteachingcommunity
Excited to be stepping in for @miano_o to facilitate the presentation in ST6 assessment for @stansw #stage6conference #STANSWteachingcommunity

GRG Open Day ready with interactive experiment stations, displays and two scheduled science shows #grgopenday #grg #grgscience #sciedu
A great question and huge motivator! Make successes as visible as constructive feedback. Humans are conditioned to focus on the negatives more than positives.
How to help those disengaged students. Help them see the academic progress they are making as it is so motivating for them. What do we do to show them this? @GMastersACER #STAStage6
An engaging and idea-filled talk from @TheGreenChook . So grateful we could connect and discuss such important issues around scientific thinking.
Teaching scientists how to think... High-quality thinking forms the foundations of high-quality scientific practice. But, thinking is often implicit in our science curriculum.

High school science graduates show disciplinary knowledge but generally have skills gaps - the crocus on these transferable skills is essential @TheGreenChook @stansw #STAStage6

Great experience discussing computational biology, Huntington's disease and statistics in my talk at the #STANSWStage6 ! If you would like to experiment with some neurodegenerative disease data please find everything you'll need in my github below.
