I’ve loved spending the last few days out in what my boss Suzy calls #therealclassroom. True curiosity. So many questions. Students making connections!

You need to start in the shallows. A really guided inquiry process where the teacher explicitly guides Ss through the inquiry process and upskills Ss in the process of inquiry with explicit instruction. As Ss build up the skills, you can let them swim deeper!

I think at some point we need to talk about how we get students to unpack inquiry. And how explicit this is. Trevor MacKenzie has a bunch of amazing resources on inquiry learning. An amazing PL if you ever get the chance. #EduSkyAU

Let's imagine for a moment! What could professional learning networks look like? How might we help create this ideal network where we both contribute and learn from one another?

Q3

We are already on to our third question!

For me, a PLN needs to be more than just sharing resources, it needs to be about sharing ideas and learning from one another.

What you are looking for in a PLN? And how do you foster meaningful relationships?

Q2

Loving the responses so far!

I am the first to admit that maintaining a Professional Learning Network can be challenging!

Tell me more. Education is hectic! Is it just that or is there more to it?

Don't forget the #EduSkyAU hashtag in your responses.

Wow! #therealclassroom

With my role at #CoRE I am lucky I get to do this a lot on our field trips with the amazing Suzy Urbaniak OAM. The students and I learn so much. The then collect data to back into the classroom to test their hypotheses.

Living in a #ND family means sometimes doing things a little differently.

We like to plan ahead and prepare for the day to come.

I sent this out to our family chat last night with a reply of “Ok you’re fr the goat for that”.

What do you do to help #ND students prepare for transitions?

What a great day helping Suzy run our industry graduate program induction!

Followed by a productive forward planning meeting with our media partners.

Then a 3 hour strategic planning session with Jacobi.

Can’t believe it’s all happened in one day!

A day of TOIL from my normal role to come teach undergrad Ts at Notre Dame Uni.

This course is about making the most out of #EdTech, and the summer unit is for #PE Ts.

Such an idyllic location!

Such an inspiring motto. It’s nice to have a record of your OneWords. Thanks for sharing with the #EduSkyAU community.

As I was trying to think of my one for this year, I reflected on past year’s choices and how they influenced me that year.

Here is my #OneWord2025.

Just had my weekly reminder for #aussieed on my calendar.

I never deleted the notification because I always wanted to rejoin at some stage but couldn’t face going back to the last app.

I am so excited to finally connect with educators for our inaugural #EduSkyAU chat.

It’s been a long wait!
