@JaneCaro Our moral compass is entirely broken when it comes to school funding. We risk becoming a nation where a ‘fair go’ in schooling is afforded only to the Prue and Trude’s – or at least the Kath’s and Kim’s (and Kel’s) willing to work two jobs to afford it. melanieralph.com/2024/04/23/wha…
What's the most haunting line you've ever read in a piece of literature? Something that stays with you like a shadow.
@Anncaro11 Amidst all the challenges in education, Harris pedals this boring topic again. Let’s be clear: every effective teacher sees the value in explicit teaching. Asking “will staff comply?” & how will we “monitor” them is the kind of patronising rubbish that will lead more to walk out.
@JaneCaro Great news for this school, Jane, of course. Well done to all. I would love to read these pieces, though, without the ongoing "uni's bad" narrative, or with references to this faux issue of inquiry learning being "a more fashionable style." (?!)
The "teacher shortage will disproportionately hit the bottom ranks of society" and "further cement the economic divide in the country." Thanks @simongerman600 for this informative snapshot of grim data. thenewdaily.com.au/opinion/2024/0…
I've written about my incredible experience this year at @BellShakespeare's National Teacher Mentorship. Supported by @tmbankau, this 4-day training was transformative and such a joy. Aussie teachers: I encourage you to apply! #Shakespeare #TeamEnglishOz melanieralph.com/2024/04/04/bel…
Shout out to @BellShakespeare for this brilliant, free resource: an interactive timeline which explores Shakespeare's plays alongside his life and historical events. So useful! #TeamEnglishOz #Shakespeare bellshakespeare.com.au/timeline-of-sh…
Brilliant article here, @GuyClaxton: "Any kind of teaching can be done ‘badly’...It is intellectually lazy to promote a ‘good’ version of one by attacking a ‘weak’ or caricatured version of the other. guyclaxton.net/post/the-scien…
Brilliant article: "The rampant, chronic underfunding of our public schools is a blight on our national identity, especially for a country that lionises the idea of a 'fair go'." crikey.com.au/2024/03/15/aus…
Too many educators, intimidated by the magic phrase "science of learning," swallow dubious claims by proponents of traditional teaching. My new blog post looks at one example: "Cognitive Load Theory: An Unpersuasive Attempt to Justify Direct Instruction" - alfiekohn.org/blogs/clt/
Some seriously impressive note-taking from one of my Year 12 English students. We are loving exploring cross over concepts and themes between #Frankenstein and films. Printing on A3 allows for more space. #TeamEnglishOz @the_ink_factory

Love this guys threads
@PaulGarvey4 Sadly, having a single encompassing answer is often what entices educational policy makers (or at least superficially seems so). We need to keep resurfacing these important critiques of dichotomies like this, to remind ourselves of this!
@TomMahoneyEdu Agree entirely. Both are important. Don't let anyone tell you one, or the other, is not.
Jerry Seinfeld blaming lefties for "ruining comedy" makes me lol. Yeah, some of the jokes on Seinfeld didn't age well. That is proof we've grown. So is an ageing comic pointing out how he wouldn't cut it now. Comedy is smart. It evolves. Good. theage.com.au/culture/comedy…
The needs of our children are growing, but the funding from governments hasn’t kept up. Rather than telling teachers to better discipline students, we should be increasing funding so that schools have the resources they need to support students with complex needs. #auspol
@3dancingfeet @duaduauk @Clive_Hill @DanielBundred Well, wasn't researchED brought to Australia by @CISOZ ? Might be a clue about world views on what is research in that couplet.
New capital funding for public schools? Great! Except it isn't new. Australia's 6700 public schools had to compete for $250k from a one-off $215.8m fund Labor announced in 2022. In 2022 alone the feds gave $148m to 147 private schools in capital grants. That's a million each.
Media release: Extra infrastructure funding for Northern Territory public schools. ministers.education.gov.au/clare/extra-in…
@senatorpennyqld Thank you, this is so misguided - "old school discipline" is truly the Emperor's New Clothes response to the complex issues facing our education systems
@JasonClareMP @theTiser Shame on Labor for continuing the LNPs obscene and unfair funding practices. You are no different than John Howard.
@JasonClareMP @theTiser It's a drop in the ocean, minister. You need to stop funding private schools and divert that funding to public education
I really don’t care much if @AlboMP was or was not rude to the March organiser. If he was, he should apologise. If he wasn’t, she should. What I care about is the 30 women who have died so far this year at the hands of men they knew & loved and what we are going to do about it.
We need a new school funding model. Maybe the federal government should assume responsibility for all sectors. Less revenue to states, but fairer for our kids. theguardian.com/australia-news…
is there a rule that when every white comedian turns 65 they have to start saying this
Jerry Seinfeld: PC culture and fear of offending people is killing funny shows. "When you write a script and it goes into four or five different hands, committee, groups—'here's our thought about this joke'—well that's the end of your comedy."
1/2 Important to understand that deskilling teachers is at the heart of Direct Instruction. Its pioneer, uber-behaviorist Sig Engelmann, said, "The teacher must be viewed as a consumer of instruction material." Also: "We don't give a damn about what the teacher thinks [or] feels"
@TomMahoneyEdu @lustreeducation Listening to this on the commute tomorrow. The little sound bite here is outstanding.
@markp_bennett @lustreeducation An excellent listen for the commute Mark! There’s a heap more gold in there.
