‘If ITE programs had been operating in recent decades the way medical, engineering, and nursing programs (for example) do, AERO might not even have been established. Ironic, isn't it?’ @PamelaSnow2 nails it. @EdResearchAU @C_Hendrick @ThinkForwardEdu

🙌📙With @klrhull and the fantastic volunteer membership, @ThinkForwardEdu grew to over 26,000 members united to enact transformation in schools across the country. We grew our impact with the partnership with @latrobe and a record offering of pro benefits and free webinars📺🧠
The biggest impact when learning about evidence based teaching was days spent at @SharingBestPrac & @whatworksseries as well as presentations by @ThinkForwardEdu because I needed to be told & shown by more knowledgeable educators. It was hard & slow trying to learn on my own.
“I’m an inquiry based student centered teacher. Now please watch me show you how to do this.”
