Let's start these conversations. Let's get comfortable with being uncomfortable.
We need intentional action to make the world more just for all students.
Thank you for giving us practical steps to effect real change @drannlopez.bsky.social

School improvement is a complex task. @domklein.bsky.social, Elizabeth Zumpe and Maria Opfermann explore the role that cognitive load theory plays in the effectiveness of principals engaging in this important pursuit. #icsei2025

"It is not a teacher's job to develop data; it is a teacher's job to develop kids. When we are stuffing the envelope with Naplan, what else could we be putting in there to broaden the conversation? For student agency, you have to give some power away." Martin Westwell #icsei2025

Linguistic imperialism happens silently. Over 80% of Aboriginal people speak some form of Aboriginal English, which has deep meanings and its own structure, phonology and syntax. It is often misunderstood.

Fresh from an inspiring session with Linda Darling-Hammond, one message is clear: the time for systemic change in education is now. #ICSEI2025

We know that tinkering around the edges isn’t enough.
