Water still coming in @KewGolfClub and as each hour passes more of the place goes under. Hoping to see some reduction in river level by lunchtime which might save some greens, others already gone under

What's your favorite way to get Ss to move past "I don't know"? (📸 via leader @DrReyRodriguez, spotted in T Ms. Ratliff's class) #TeacherTwitter
Poster titled "What to say instead of 'I don't know.'" The tips are as following: "1. May I please have some more information 2. May I please have some time to think? 3. Would you please repeat the question? 4. Where could I find more information about that? 5. May I ask a friend for help?"

Class selection policy that is data based with both academic and well being has a better chance of success. Stress whole cohort interaction with class interventions. – at Melbourne, Victoria

This is a culture rooted in psychological safety. We are struck by how many educators come to #datawise institutes never having experienced this dynamic in any organization in which they have worked. Reread #datawise with us. a.co/0J2btZ0

As billions are pledged for Victoria's schools, teachers warn a burnout crisis is building

Both sides are spruiking some big-ticket pledges on education. But teachers say whoever wins government on November 26 needs to urgently tackle the burnout fuelling a growing teacher shortage across...
