Had the pleasure of visiting @RootyHillHS with teaching fellow Trent Cowley to learn about ways there are improving English in junior secondary. We were greeted by @chriscawsey who shared with us a special acknowledgement of Country. Thank you @yasodaiselva for hosting us!

It is the greatest honour for me to lead the NSW Department of Education as your Secretary. I became a teacher to make a difference & I will endeavour to continue doing this in my new role. Thank you for your support & commitment to the students we serve in public education.

I am absolutely thrilled to announce that I have appointed @dizdarm as the ongoing Secretary for @NSWEducation. It is a priority to me to have a teacher leading the department - this valuable, grassroots knowledge is something you cannot learn without first-hand experience.

How a former garbage collector became the boss of the state’s schools

Murat Dizdar was once a part-time garbage collector in Sydney’s inner west. The former public school principal and teacher has now been appointed secretary of the NSW Department of Education.

Fortunately I was seated when I opened my work inbox because the email from the Acting Secretary of NSW DoE, @dizdarm and his advance notification of policy change, bowled me over! It is so much more respectful to find out by email than by a newspaper article! 🥹

Watching the livestream with @dizdarm and @pruecar to start Term 2. It’s so refreshing to hear the emphasis on championing public education and the recognition of the existing complexities that teachers are working with - pay and workload.

Really refreshing to hear from the minister that pay is linked to an indication of respect for the profession and and the need for teachers to have secure employment.

Twitter I've missed you... but I'm back! I decided to take a break for the most part on an extended maternity leave from teaching, living abroad and settling back in last term. Looking forward to reconnecting and connecting on here!
