Teachers & school leaders have the best, and possibly most challenging, jobs in the world. Hope I can help sustain and encourage you, while also advocating for you. A few musings along the way, too, just to keep it fresh.
#principal work gets even tougher during & after #critical #incidents! How can we do better? Check out this latest research from ACU’s principal #wellbeing team - great to partner with Mat Grining & the Tasmanian Principals Association on this. #EduSkyAU Report lnkd.in/gM3JbKKU

Why are the last five assignments always the hardest to mark? Whatever the reason, it’s why we should randomise the order so that students from T-Z aren’t always having their work reviewed by a tired, numbing brain. Or maybe it’s just me 🫣. Cognitive Load also applies to marking. #EduSkyAU

Take care as this heatwave sweeps the nation. The year is already long, and emotions a bit stretched, so be as kind as you can, stay hydrated, and be thankful the change is on its way.

As the year wraps up with a hectic final flourish, it’s good to step away from the intensity, for the sake of balance.

It might take a while to settle in here, and I’m still working out the merits of being here, but at least I am.
