For all the great public school teachers in Australia. Have a well deserved rest & recharge. Ignore the "experts" who want to blame you for any perceived decline in PISA. Know that your work is the cornerstone of a vibrant democracy. #aussieEd

A young teacher recently asked me for advice as she began her career. My advice was not profound... but here it is: “Learn from your colleagues; don’t be afraid to fail; and never stop caring about the kids.”

As it turns out, the type of culture that creates the best learning environments for kids, is also the best type of culture to recruit and retain great teachers.

After reading @aitsl's 'Attendance Matters' research I did some extra reading and was inspired to make this video. I found some of the numbers quite startling! Every day at school counts! #WhatIsSchool #aussieED #UKedchat @ShiftinEdu @NSWEducation

Are human rights important to you? Follow us! We work with local partners to support human rights issues, like ensuring that kids aren't excluded from schools where they belong because of disability, race, language, religion, gender, and poverty: osf.to/2E1s2Xb.
