Itโs been fabulous to watch Charlestown South PS and other schools in the EAST Network go from strength to strength, demonstrating that explicit teaching is effective for all students. This approach is now being promoted in all NSW Public Schools. smh.com.au/national/nsw/thisโฆ

The evidence shows a consistent, whole-school approach to classroom management works best. Students know what to expect, teachers know what to do, schools are calmer. Thanks to St Clare's College, @DrTimMcDonald1 and @JennyDonovan2 for speaking with me. canberratimes.com.au/story/8โฆ

Great episode addressing some MTSS misconceptions: "Screening & diagnostic don't overlap. Screeners must be short & predictive. Diagnostic tests are specific, usually not timed & are linked to instruction, telling you what to teach next. E.g. PAST is not a screener" @sstollar6

โYou reduce a lot of cognitive load when schools are set up with really specific norms around how behaviour is managed..." @lifeoflottie says mainstream teachers have much to learn about behaviour management from special educators.
