Digital Tech is only a tool! Love the impact clever, intuitive, courageous teaching has in encouraging children to enable learning. Let's get out of their way!

A problem in education is teachers are the front line on mental health, family, poverty issues and so much more. The idea that teachers just 'teach' is over. The line between teaching and social work, or mental health is blurring. Yet teachers cannot solve societal issues. – at Brighton, England

I love leaders who focus on their teachers/ staff, especially during high stress times such as end of semester, conferences, grades, & holidays approaching. Seek out ways to help them too.

Blaming teachers for the ills of society is like blaming your Dr because you have cancer.

Generally speaking, whether or not technology can be thought of as good or bad depends on how it is used. We human beings should not be slaves to technology or machines. We should be in charge.

Every student should hear their name every day and not just the ones who are being corrected.

Trump and Trumpism would not have been possible without all those who knew better but enabled him, coddled him, excused him, promoted him, or just looked the other way.

Administrators, remember your veteran teachers probably have more expertise and experience than the people trying to create and sell new curriculum and initiatives to your district. Seek their input first.

As we celebrate the beginning of NAIDOC Week and this year's themeβ€” Get Up! Stand Up! Show Up! β€” we reflect on how we can do more to recognise the history, culture and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. #NAIDOC2022

The US spent two decades convincing the world to fight a war for β€˜freedom’ against religious fundamentalists only to turn around around and let their country’s laws be controlled by religious fundamentalists.

I think one of the most telling attributes of an effective leader is that they bring out the best in those they lead. Imagine what a staff can do when they feel valued and confident!
