We had such a great week with @Mattglover123. After working with Matt online since 2020 it was so good to have him in person at Milgate. He is practical and realistic with his advice and also had a few laughs along the way. Thanks @Mattglover123 #processgenrecraft #pyp #writing

Looking at revamping our junior school council #jsc process so the students have more voice & impact in the school. Anyone have any ideas or good examples of their JSC? Would love to hear how different schools are using students as leaders #pyp #agency #studentleadership #vicplc

Such a fantastic day with Tania @igeeducators taking the complexity out of #concepts. I love the idea that we “teach concepts just in time & not just in case.” This is a helpful reminder for us all that we need to be responsive and not over plan. #transdisciplinary #vicpypnetwork

There are really only two flaws with using tests to assess learning: Right answers often don’t reflect real understanding, and wrong answers often don’t reflect the absence of understanding.
(Note that this is true of teacher-designed tests, not just the standardized kind.)

Thinking of teachers having to write report cards. Placing students they know so well into boxes, summing up their learning with a comment, when they know they are so much more than that. Then the editing process that follows. So much time. Time to rethink this practice?
