#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.

    PA: So many people. The #aussieED crew. The #digitalEDchat crew. @MrJonRoberts keeps me in check in real life!
  • clarke_ren Sep 3 @ 6:43 AM EDT
    A1. Shared vision helps everyone know where we're heading, why and how we'll be judging success. Helps keep everyone focuses #aussieED
  • GruntledChalkie Sep 3 @ 6:43 AM EDT
    A1b) For example of unshared think Republic Referendum 1989 where the yes people had different visions and got in each others way #aussieED
  • grahamandre Sep 3 @ 6:43 AM EDT
    A1: A shared vision means everyone is on board, they know where the school is going #aussieED
  • marc_warwick Sep 3 @ 6:43 AM EDT
    A1 United front is crucial for any place worth going. Easier then to enact change when people share the vision #aussieED
  • Tam_Scharf Sep 3 @ 6:43 AM EDT
    A1. Change can only happen if there is buy-in. If they believe in the need, see the potential & feel confident in taking the step. #aussieED
  • lux_senthil Sep 3 @ 6:43 AM EDT
    A1-shared vision imp 1st step 4 change as the more stakeholders there are who feel invested, more likely change will be supported #aussieEd
  • tan_crawf Sep 3 @ 6:43 AM EDT
    A1: shared means everyone works hard to make the change happen across the school. More sustainable #aussieED
  • EduTweetOz Sep 3 @ 6:44 AM EDT
    A1 - A shared vision enables ownership and agency towards a collective and co-created vision for success #aussieED
  • GileskKate Sep 3 @ 6:44 AM EDT

  • MRsalakas - Moderator Sep 3 @ 6:44 AM EDT
    With a shared vision from the outset, you know where you want to go as a team? Doing it without a team makes it unsustainable!!! #aussieED
  • mattoman71 Sep 3 @ 6:44 AM EDT
    A1: Moves change from being your change to our change. People more likely to buy into real change and do more than pay lip service #aussieED
  • GregPearceNZ Sep 3 @ 6:45 AM EDT
    A1 It’s there in the question - so the vision is ‘shared’ - everyone has ownership. #aussieEd
  • dothinkeducate Sep 3 @ 6:45 AM EDT
    A1: It’s hard to sail a ship with half a crew, or a crew that pulls the ropes in the opposite direction. Complete teams work best. #aussieED
