#aussieED Archive
#aussieED was founded on the belief that all teachers, and students, should have unlimited access to Professional Development, on their own terms, to improve their teaching, their schools and change the lives of the students they encounter. Since then, we have embarked on a mission to reach educators, not only in Australia but, all around the globe. We want to smash the barriers that prevent teachers from easily connecting and learning with each other. To that end, we have developed a regular Ed-chat each Sunday on twitter at #aussieED. The chat allows all teachers, leaders, administrators and all those connected with education to meet on an unbiased platform and discuss the real issues that effect what happens in classrooms everywhere. Our chats are authentic because we are real teachers walking the same walk that so many do everyday.

I keep wondering how I can be creative and innovative when it comes to standardized testing...
I need to day dream less ; )

Sometimes it can get messy though.Trying new things can b easier on ur own, I believe Not every1 good 2 collaborate
What are peeps limits to empathy? Do u have transgender stds? What toilet block would an intersex std without gender identity use?

I think i spend too much thinking - paralysis by analysis
A6 data is useful if you engage with it critically and use it to inform, rather than drive.
Night! Have a great week!
We create situations where Ss suffer from migraines & anxiety directly related to over-testing!

Sts can be creative when they have choice about what they learn & how they communicate what they know https://t.co/V3VkoU5xwE
Maybe I don’t think enough…or on my feet. :)
Can relate to this ... Like to trial and error before involve others
I'd say act more on those dreams - they could be the beginning of your creativity journey!
explain purpose of testing to Ss then use data well to challenge & create success

New role requires me to take 3 classes of Prep students. Learning to create lessons that work for them.

True, but our state tests can't be seen in advance. Often this leads simply to teaching testing skills.
