It takes 70 exposures to unlearn an embedded error. This is why we shouldn't use launch, explore, summarise or you do, we do, you do. Good explicit teaching is I do, we do, you do. Teach First. #schollexcellence #edi #explicitteaching – at Gerroa, New South Wales

The @EducEndowFoundn have recently released an excellent guidance report about focusing on driving real improvements in schools through effective implementation. The guide sets out three key elements that enable effective implementation in schools:
1. Adopt the BEHAVIOURS that drive effective implementation.
2. Attend to the CONTEXTUAL factors that influence implementation.
3. Use a structured but flexible implementation PROCESS.

Heads the private schools win, tails the public schools lose. The inequities in our education system are so profound, the funding so corrupted, we need to scrap it & start again. And this time use children’s needs as the driver not neo liberal ideology. theage.com.au/national/victo…

The funding of our education system is morally bereft. We are now one of the most segregated education systems in the OECD, yet we continue to lavishly over fund the privileged and chronically underfund the needy. It is an utter disgrace & hobbles us all. theguardian.com/australia-ne…

The power of explicit instruction.
An increasing number of schools are changing their teaching styles and a public school in Sydney's outer west is leading the way. @manisha_gazula @TVtheTeacher @EmmaMeddows @dizdarm @NSWEducation

“Don’t use slides as a prop for yourself”. Professor Sweller nailing the vital importance of teacher subject knowledge, and how many compensate with a PowerPoint slideshow as a safety mechanism.

I always had a “thing” when it came to older primary students completing “sustained reading” (30 mins+) where they read a book independently during school time. I’m not saying it’s a bad thing, I just argue there are a list of other things I rate as more important in its place.✌️

Stage 3 have been analysing and learning about mission statements in real life contexts, such as schools and businesses. After planning, drafting and editing their own, this is their joint construction class mission statement.

Does anyone have a favourite element from the Model for Great Teaching? One you're most interested in, facinated by or care about most?
We'd love to know.
It's way harder than choosing between chocolate or crisps, and we think that's really hard.

Great dialogue around connecting focus areas and syllabus outcomes during our SDD Day 1. #curriculumreform @CampbelltnNorth @VickieA
