Following a few requests from teachers and school leaders, I've made short video on the key ideas that I think teachers (and parents/carers) need to know about reading development, based on my reading concept map.

Teacher retention: if you want to keep the best teachers, treat them like they are the best. Few teachers leave an environment where they feel valued, supported, appreciated, and treated like professionals. This is more important now than ever!

Rules matter—but they’re not the foundation.
Focus on rules, and you’ll spend the year enforcing them.
Focus on relationships, routines, and expectations—and you’ll actually get to teach.

About 8 years ago, @siobhanleahy50 and I prepared a Quick Reference Guide for Embedding Formative Assessment. It's now out of print, so the copyright has reverted to us, and we are free to share it with anyone who wants it: bit.ly/EFAQRG (pdf).

I ADORE working with the exec teams at Arcadia Vale PS & Wangi Wangi PS! We paused & celebrated their milestones as middle leaders, co-defined coaching, & shaped the AVPS Core Principles/The Wangi Way ❤️. These schools are doing incredible work for their students & teachers!

Today our K-2 team, led by APCI Hannah Bullivant and K-2 AP Danni Peterson, dove into Explicit Teaching of Mathematics. Teachers developed deep pedagogical content knowledge and honed in on LISC, Checking for understanding, and Effective questioning.
