This was a great podcast listen in conjunction with listening to the webinar around the Maths Guarantee with @Amy_L_Haywood and @NickJParkinson from @GrattanInst tonight. Love the focus on Maths in recent years and how to implement great primary maths teaching.
🧠 Designing a great maths lesson is harder than it looks. Sequencing content, addressing misconceptions, scaffolding effectively, factoring in cognitive load… it's complex work. In this clip, we talk about why building high-quality curriculum materials shouldn’t fall on the…
Another great webinar by @NathanielRSwain “Reducing student cognitive load to allow for greater focus on new learning.” Engagement norms have been a game changer @LansvalePS to help with checks for understanding. Tchrs are also starting to rearrange desks to optimise learning.



Not many people can get @LansvalePS staff to do long division after school! 😂 Thanks @DaveMorkunas for sharing your insights and importance of Daily Review. “You can’t afford not to.”

Wonderful presentation by @Brad_Nguyen_ . We are about to start using Acadience as a universal screener. Great results at Docklands over the years. 👏




2L are loving using @numbots to build their fluency in Mathematics. Looking forward to launching it across Stage 1. @BrunoReddyMaths

A great document from @GrattanInst which clearly outlines how to implement great maths teaching in schools. This follows the Maths Guarantee article released earlier this year. Very timely as we refine our Maths practices at @LansvalePS grattan.edu.au/wp-content/upl…

Privileged to visit Singapore, one of the best education systems in the world as part of the @AusSchoolsPlus Teaching Fellowship. They have such clarity on the purpose of education to develop successful citizens and invest heavily in people as they have no natural resources.

Checking for Understanding and Responsive Teaching webinar with @C_Hendrick. So many practical takeaways to embed in the classroom.

On the Science of Learning journey with @LansvalePS and it started with coming across @ThinkForwardEdu. So it was special to meet @NathanielRSwain in person. Thanks for signing the book! Such an engaging presentation on Science of Learning Practices. @SharingBestPrac




Love the explicit steps shown by @JustinCaban_ from @training247au that are systematically built up for all Ss to experience success in writing narratives. Importance of accuracy over quantity. Won the raffle for a subscription to their platform & iPad too. 👏 @SharingBestPrac




So many things to learn from Marsden Road PS. Thanks for sharing what fluency and close reading looks like @TVtheTeacher. @SharingBestPrac It was great to see this in practice at a recent school visit too!
