#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.

A2 currently studying pos psych and wellbeing- reading Seligman, Fredrikson, Dweck this week

To write on the chalk board of course! π ... and to make a difference in Ss learning and social/emotional https://t.co/EscNzRu8Yf
A3. I don't think we became. teachers. I think we always have been leaders in the classroom ~Noelene
A3 Being in the classroom, as students' understanding deepens, literally takes away any outside thoughts or cares! Best job ever!

A3 like the cane-toad seemed like a good idea at the time. Now stoked with that decision
Well said https://t.co/QCp6NP3YB8
A3. I don't think we became. teachers. I think we always have been leaders in the classroom ~Noelene

A3 Gee, why does anyone do anything? I guess it seemed like a good idea at the time...
A3: Everything fell into place and I realised it was where I wanted to be
A3 in the 1st place because I din't want to loose my French Kept doing it because enjoyed the feeling of being able to help others
I still have a small chalk board and I love when I have a good reason to use it
Your answer made me smile out loud RIchard!
A3. To make a change and difference in someone else's life! I thrive off the growth I see in my students
A3: pretty much because my parents pushed me not to be an artist! But I have loved teaching the whole time
How can one get bored if classrooms are about learning over teaching?
A3 became T ( & speech pathologist) to help Ss develop confidence & skills to be successful, resilient & connected with society
A3: Honestly. Used to be a school chaplain. Saw lots of Ts. Thought I could do that...better. Little did I know
A3 Because I love working 9 to 3.30 and having heaps of holidays! ππππππππ
A3. Also because I wanted to share with others that learning can and should be joyful.
Sometimes I give it a re-listen to remind myself of why I put up with all the hardships!
Love performing, learning in my work, would hate being stuck in an office all day making non difference.

To have Visible effect through teacher credibility(EffectSize .90) and Piagetian programs(EffectSize 1.28) https://t.co/y9dO0QOJMA
A4: Ask the Ss... Do they want to come to school do they have a smile when they arrive and leave... Love asking my Ss for feedback
A2 I had polar opposite Ts in year 10, the best and the worst. Decided I needed to be the best so that I had to 'pay it forward'
Bloggers would have to be . She does gr8 stuff and I find a great mentor and inspiration
A4. I measure my success by the relationships I develop with my Ss.
A4. My students tell me! Though their actions!
A3 Just wanted to continue my ed & teaching was the highest degree at the closest uni
A4 when you see the change (for the better) in the people put in your care
A3: To change the world of course!
A4: I know because Ss outside of school come and chat to me. They say hello and we talk. They could just ignore me. They don't!
Students acknowledge me ten years or more later, respected not just liked. A4
A3) I became increasingly aware that I was a T. Helping Ss discover their talents is my favorite part of the job.
.A3 2/2Who else has a job whre they love & can learn new things, guide,motivate others to learn & see & do exciting things & choose
A4 When SS want to learn. When u see kids YEARS later & they want to talk to u &remember what they learned about being a learner
Thank you for joining tonight. Your lack of bravery by using no name tells us all we need to know of you
A4. When Ss report back years, months, weeks later that I made a diff in their lives - I must be doing something right
A4: not because of evaluation. Not because of students' grades. It's the relationship between Ts & Ss which shows the effect.
Self reflection night 2night?
yes indeed, action is everything.
A4 if you can accept that things didn't work. Accepting constructive feedback. Challenging yourself. Ss, teachers looking up 2 you
When they enjoy coming to sch
A4. When at least one student looks at you after struggling with a concept & says that they 'got it' & you know they infact have!
Wow Adam Laddell is in the last 2 on The Voice
Congratulations Adam!
A4: When you witness a S having a light bulb moment and the joy on their face when they 'get it'
I didn't fully understand that until I discovered Twitter.
A4-you're willing to admit that you don't know everything,but are willing to learn. Ss will tell you too!
A4. When a student finds that 'aha' moment and discovers something that begins a lifelong journey. https://t.co/9rOc3Dk9uT
A4: when ps say their kids are having a good year
A4) happy engaged learners who are inspired to learn more and ask more questions and not fear failure
May not be possible to know, 'success' may not be realised until well after they leave us.
nominating you as an inspiration to me as an educator
That's what Ts should go for! https://t.co/KKouXVHQTs
A4: Ask the Ss... Do they want to come to school do they have a smile when they arrive and leave... Love asking my Ss for feedback
A4 If my students come in with smiles on their faces, excited, ready to learn and have a go at anything I throw at them!
Wow question 4? I arrive late..hello from Spain
A4 Success as a teacher is not quantifiable. It's in the narratives that survive in the people you teach.
YES!! I tell my students when I FAIL ... shows them how learning never stops!
but the have lots of colors to work with.... π lol!
A.4 When you can step back - listen and watch your sts. engaged and excited about learning
respect that is earned, no doubt. So very different to respect which is demanded!
Q4 the kids tell you. If your Ss engage you to tell you something or share a fact, and know you care about their learning.
Funny, in a chat about positivity you choose to bring down other teachers... Says a lot about you 'nameless account'
A4) Because students remind you how much they enjoyed things you didn't even plan on happening... it's natural
A4 gut feeling, but I think that's a hard q
A4- Ss feedback, even if 5 years later ;)
Grateful for your encouragement more than you know.
I agree and when the respect given is delayed and by choice, that's very powerful affirmation!
A4: S's want 2 come 2 your class. S's willing to challenge themselves.
Other T's seek you out for advice, reflective discussions
A4 When learning is visible! When students explain today what they couldn't yesterday! When students are excited about learning!
A3 I saw an opportunity and jumped at it!
you can always rely on your students for honest feedback!
A4 Small skite, about 10 of my former students are now Eng teachers and very good ones too. A4
A4. Ss achieving their personal best, are happy to learn and are motivated.
A4 when you allow your students take charge of the direction of their learning and student driven
A4: students love your class and show growth
A4:if I can reflect at the end of the day that I did best by kids, then I'm on the right path. Get feedback- what can I do better?
Q4. Ss improve their Dkills, in class there are a confort cimate for learning and the Ss tell youπ https://t.co/mCyS3L9Qwb
A4..When my students tell me they enjoy coming to school and don't want to go home.. I know I'm doing something right :)
I become more aware of that every time I meet PLN f2f. Really hope to get to Aust NZ some day
.A4. Feedback from Ss Ps other Ts, Ss lrng,colleagues, visitors,appraisal Mainly my Ss never absent even try to come to sch sick
A4 the Ss are happy to see you, are challenged by your lessons & still talk about it after you leave
What a great feeling this is https://t.co/5hWLNhMFs2
A.4 When you can step back - listen and watch your sts. engaged and excited about learning
A4 You are a successful teacher when you use embedded formative assessment to adjust student learning continually.
A4 Know you're a successful T when your Ss don't need you anymore have developed skills, confidence, values to be independent
A4 I can look myself and my community in the eyes now and in the future.
I love getting those e-mails/phone calls! And they always seem to some when I need them most!
A4 Successful teachers are those whose plans for learning & teaching r successful realised in their classrooms (most of the time.)
Maybe you are successful when you are no longer needed
A4. Kids tell you, but that's not the most important. Means much more when you see their changed attitude & improved achievement.
A4 When my Ss told me earlier this yr that I wasn't like a 'real teacher'
It's mostly years later. That's a pity. But if you're a good listener & have empathy - you'll know. https://t.co/esJpnqENgN
A4- Ss feedback, even if 5 years later ;)
Great answer!!
https://t.co/FGvTY6eVTW
A4 Know you're a successful T when your Ss don't need you anymore have developed skills, confidence, values to be independent
Visible Visibility's account name is highly visible.
https://t.co/c4xxgJKugD
Funny, in a chat about positivity you choose to bring down other teachers... Says a lot about you 'nameless account'
You're most welcome anytime to visit Paradise!
A4 currently in hospital: to have students and members of teams you coach come to visit indicates an impact. Very special feeling.
Yes and you need to make sure you respond to that feedback
A4: When you hear ss asking a question you asked that made them think to a classmate
I had almost my entire 4th grade class from almost 10yrs ago run into me at a restaurant. All gave me great big hugs
relationships are everything!
We all remember a teacher that made a difference! I hope I am that ts for my Ss! https://t.co/sjQF4PIXe1
A4 Success as a teacher is not quantifiable. It's in the narratives that survive in the people you teach.
hahaha yep! I can relate. I have said before am not a robot I can not remember everything. Ss just laugh :)
Indeed! Sometimes that happens after they go through a stage of "hating" you... :P https://t.co/Y2ioSzPlOn
A4 Know you're a successful T when your Ss don't need you anymore have developed skills, confidence, values to be independent
A4b I think a successful teacher provides their students with knowledge and skills to pay the bills and virtues to pay forward
LOL. Don't worry Jen, I tell everybody, catching up with one of them on Tues!
A4) I've noticed I run into former Ss especially when I need a lift. The Ss give me feedback daily on what I need to rethink.
A4 Successful teachers can articulate the end point of student development, and how to realise that in all of their students.
And it's never what they learnt, it's how they learnt and were treated!
Did they tell you what a real teacher is?
And almost all were going into education :) Made me a proud teacher that day!
A4: Depends on how you measure that success. Success comes in many different ways.
That's awesome Jodie! I would have cried I think! It's those moments that keep us going when the road gets bumpy.
A5: It is ok to ask for help!
.One of my favourite quotations
A4. You'll know you're a successful teacher if you are the architect of your own redundancy.
A5. Own your mistakes and never shy away from failure as it's what creates the path to success. https://t.co/XkLfUzRJlN
Q5. All is more important than I!
No, they're too nice. Just said class is more interesting
Because we have to learn from plans not working, too:) Love how you phrased this.
A5. That the small actions of one can make a huge impact on others
Hopefully I can always push them to the next level, ask the deeper questions, inspire them !
A5. That im still learning and that I dont know everything about everything ~Noelene
A6 That relationships are everything, and that the how is more important than the what!
It was a very awesome day for sure!
A5 That there is always more to learn. The power of connection in impacting practice. And, that students are always worth it
A5) I started teaching as a self centered 23 year old boy.
Teaching has taught me to understand the needs of others
A5 that I am far from perfect without a doubt and that there is always so much to learn
A5 don't be afraid to ask the questions and to ask for help.
A5: Be real! Be the teacher you wanted to have. Keep learning!
Q5 Student rapport and relationship is centre to all. It allows motivated and engaged Ss to try, become risk takers and succeed.
A5: That not every Student will like me. And that's ok. I do like a challenge, though!
I agree, it's about partnerships and connections.
that's why we're here, no one know everything
A5 You never stop learning and growing as a teacher and a life long learner.
A5 connections between Ts & Ss, Ts & Ts are far more important & powerful than expensive resources & state-of-the-art buildings
A5. Never give up on a situation or child
True. Genius/Making time has made my Ss more invested in all their learning.
A5: Ss learn something when they are ready.
A4: Smiles, excitement, pride, hugs
A4: People seem to avoid this answer but... Success happens at many levels, and data (not numbers) shows some of that success
To listen like I'm about to hear the 2moro nites lotto numbers, to absolutely everyone
A5 Development isn't linear or maturational, nor does it produce learners who are all the same.
A5.the thing I've learnt is that you are a longlife learner and you need outside go your confort zone https://t.co/KIFZQJefaY
A7 Smile and have fun with the learning!
A5. I'm an early career teacher.. In my short time I've learnt so many meaningful things.. 1 big one.. To not be so hard on myself
A5 despite good intentions the only thing you actual control in the classroom & the only thing you can change is YOU
A5: That everything I do, no matter how small or how large, has an impact-often unseen or not seen until later-on my S's
A5 People forget words and algorithms, numbers and dates. They remember stories. The right story can change a person.
Q5:In learning you will teach and in teaching you will learn! A yr 4 Student helped me to think multiplicatively!
Final boarding call, better board! Im out of the chat guys. Thanks for sharing your success. Term3 will be one of the best!
.A5 That you can always adapt & change & that you make a difference.Eg Gang member in street leaving gang to thank me for tchng him
Good on you. This takes some teachers years to get and some sadly quit before realising.
A5: that there is ALWAYS more to learn...always. From Ts, Ss, As...everyone.
It is all about creating memories not only for yourself but for your students
A5 also, that learning is highly complex and there is no "formula" to make it work for everyone
A5 That you need to be there for your fellow Ts. This can be hard, let's make it easier on each other
Totally agree, if a teacher thinks what they do always works, or should always work, there is probably a problem.
A5. Relationship with staff and students are so important!!!! Work together not against each other!
A5 When i let go of total control - trusting students to learn - such an awesome and rewarding feeling!
A5. Every S has a story that must be heard. Every S wants 2b loved & accepted. Sometimes T is only 1 that can do both
Great point!!!!! I still remember the story that changed me!
A5 Best laid plans always go awry to great learning effect however!
Sorry, just arrived home, got to unpack! Thanks
A4. Step 1 is to have a clear idea of what a successful teacher means. Years later, you see them about and they tell you.
This shows teaching isn't teaching others. It's learning at the same time. That means growing4both sides. https://t.co/Iukld2whIP
A5) I started teaching as a self centered 23 year old boy.
Teaching has taught me to understand the needs of others
This resembles one of my old teachers!
A5 That i learn as much from students as they learn from me - and one another!
Sorry I'm not tweeting much tonight . Hit my head on a drain while walking mum's dog. Might have cracked a rib too ππ
A5 learnt in my 1st school it is possible to make a difference, even if no curriculum, no resources & only behav management policy
A5 If the answer is "it improves student learning" then you are on the right track.
A5 That all teachers can be good teachers.
A5-it's often the experiences you don't expect that are often the most powerful learning opportunities!
Teachers need to also understand that very little in the class is personal.
A5 that all we humans need is to know that we matter. Teaching has taught me that!
A5 the most important thing I have learnt-not everything that can be counted counts and not everything that counts can be counted
Important advice! https://t.co/XZUjdKJYvB
A5. Relationship with staff and students are so important!!!! Work together not against each other!
A6 Nope. Teachers are paid to teach students. Kids before content.
Q5 That learning never stops n Ts need to actively model the learning process with Ss
Usually some of the best learning
LOL. I call it reverse psychology and student empowerment.
My first graders teach me this daily. It's like they're saying learn with us:)
eres de EspaΓ±a y estas en EspaΓ±a?
Some teachers taught the curriculum today - others taught students & there is a BIG difference https://t.co/KgkAXZcgdp
Normally when the teacher gets out of the way and learning dominates intentionally or otherwise.
What the heck? I leave my phone for 2 mins...πππ can't keep up!!!
yes I agree! I guess learning in time.. And we all have our days :)
A7. Iβd say Ts R paid 2 teach endorsed curriculum as a minimum, but Ts are paid 2 open minds & advocate ?ing status quo
Which is awesome and terrifying all at once.
A5 To prioritise - can't do everything - do what will impact the learning most
In my darkest times, putting my grief aside and doing my job helped me get through the days. https://t.co/ssPJuvDPpR
it's incredibly detrimental for us, our sts & colleagues for us to put a happy face on. Need to be real
Exactly! Relationships are fundamental
Love this. Ss need to learn that it is ok to FAIL. We learn from our mistakes. First Attempt in Learning.
A6. Extremely simplistic view of teaching. Teaching is far more complex than just curriculum delivery. https://t.co/xlJVv8Z0bj
A6 we teach students not curriculum
that said, we all grieve and deal with difficulties in diff ways. No right or wrong
A5) To keep learning, to keep reading, and to keep asking questions. To keep dreaming, setting goals.
A6 It is an undeniable part of what we do, but not the centre
Great answer and so true. It doesn't happen all the time but when it does it feels fantastic!
reading books, articles, posts; Twitter; teachers; online courses; tinkering/making at home; testing tech https://t.co/ddEIsvQAHH
A6 OK That's a limited view of what teachers do!
Absolutely, learning is the accumulation of lots of little victories.
I Grew up in Mount Druitt, Yr 8 Geo teach 'I was the 1st in my family to finish HS and u will be too!'
a6 I believe I'm here to facilitate Ss learning...
A6/7: Use the blurbs people, use the blurbs. Descriptors are for chumps.
How's your conference going?
A6 The curriculum sets out content in sequence. Teacher use formative assessment to judge when/how to teach it = differentiation!
A6 sorry but my motto is don't let the curriculum get in the way of having fun
A6 We are paid to do many things and I'd saying putting our students first is our number one priority
A6 I'd prefer teachers teach an endorsed curriculum, to a curriculum pulled out of thin air. That said, curriculum is a compromise
but it's is a stark truth at its core... But I agree, teaching is more than delivering a syllabus
A6 Teachers are paid to develop citizens that can contribute now and in the future. A curriculum is just one context of learning. #
A4. Interestingly, students perceive a teacher's effectiveness in terms of values. Is that how you measure teaching success?
A6: Imagine that?! It would be easier to manage, but unmanageable at the same time. No. That's not it.
Teaching the curriculum and teaching the needs of students are two VERY different things.
A6 good provocation curric imp but when Ss leave school, having 'accessed' curric will not be enough, def not for a 'good life'
A6. Networking Twitter Microsoft educator comunity, and I love participated in Twitter chat!! The best way https://t.co/QSb7xKSygx
This chat has made me realise I am a demonstrator as much as a teacher - I do & rely on Ss to take what they want
Would give Ts so much free time if this was the case.
Holy cow! Feel better soon.
.My 1st P said your freedom is not so much in what you tch but in the ways that you tch it
Teaching the curriculum can actually mean that you miss the student.
What our teachers do cannot be defined. It differs in each context, classroom with each child.
A5: ClichΓ© but I firmly believe that they don't care what I know until they know that I care. Building rapport is essential.
Agreed https://t.co/6sEVQpYsOs
A6 We are paid to do many things and I'd saying putting our students first is our number one priority
Yes, but we can wrap it up in a cacophony of colours ;) Creative curriculum delivery is key for me
A6 Essentially yes, but need to analyse whether or not that is the child's next step, and develop learning/social skills +other
A6 Schools (and teachers) can communicate much more appropriate and compelling developmental outcomes than curriculums ever can.
and ts are helping shape the future society and with it what these future citizen need 2 b successful...
A7 To develop an environment of tolerance, thinking, inclusivity and hope.
A7 same statement said differently: to make the world a better place
That's why I love the double term: teaching and educating. Knowledge and character! https://t.co/oq40Lk5HaY
but it's is a stark truth at its core... But I agree, teaching is more than delivering a syllabus
A6: I've never seen curriculum teach & one that is uniquely tailored to Ss needs.Ts make the difference. https://t.co/Q8AJTaIphd
A7 access the curriculum as necessary... Or move to the PYP and package it all with relevance. Yay.
A7 the role of the teacher is to mentor, role model, coach, lead, motivate and care.
Possible through differentiation?! https://t.co/fhmjzeJ5Qe

A6. We technically are, but we teach life long skills too. Some ss know us better than they know their own parents ~Noelene

A7 role of T includes helping Ss to master key skills, collaborate, articulate thoughts & ideas, respect others, have an open mind
My experience with is that they are 'walkers' (to quote )

agree! teaching is more than just the syllabus - then why do they only collect syllabus-related data?
A7: Guide, mentor, facilitator, entertainer, carer, coach...
A7 I believe that teachers need to be experts in learning and teaching, so that they can respond to new pedagogical opportunities.

A7 Sounds pretty spot on to me - and as Ts we should do the sameππΌ https://t.co/OdGpexrN5w
A7: To empower & inspire our students to be lifelong learners who are not afraid to take risks.
A6) The longer I do this I see that the curriculum is a tool. It's the base, but Ss surprise us when we let them go beyond it.
Can Q7 be RT as I can't find it
A7. A leader is nothing without followers. A teacher cultivates the desire to learn
Love this answer Eleni!
https://t.co/KITgzSB2n8
A7: To empower & inspire our students to be lifelong learners who are not afraid to take risks.
Q7. Inspire creativity and life long learning, model collaboration, lay foundation for sts. to have happy, productive lives
A7: I guess it's different everywhere. Depends where you teach. Who you teach. What you teach. One size fits very few. Sometimes.
A7 learn, teach, learn more, make mistakes, breathe, learn, teach, repeat

Q5: It's the small moments that matter. A positive comment, a supportive action can make all the difference.

Q8 - 3 tweet challenge. Tweet 3 ideas that can boost a teacher's effectiveness and well-being? https://t.co/hmbrWyXPhi
A7 Teachers need to identify the individual developmental outcomes for students, & create an environment for these to be realised.
Depends on what it takes to get some students engaged IMO.
Yet most of things being mentioned are the most critical components of being a teacher!
https://t.co/jk5cKzoVRB
A7: there are so many great answers. But it's funny that you never read such things in job descriptions.
- he wrote that? Brilliant
A7: I'd like to think we teach students how to think more than what to think. Then celebrate when they think differently to us.
a7 role of T is to inspire, care, guide, be open to various views, be playful & creative, & integrate digital tech authentically
A7. Inspire, encourage, believe, support, learn together and create a culture of love of learning.
our job as Ts is not to prepare Ss for something, it's to help Ss learn to prepare themselves for anything https://t.co/mZ0D5NbLXM
Exercise, sleep and have a life away from the job! A8
That is the best thing I've seen on twitter today
A7 To model what you want your students to be.

A8 1. Collaborate , 2. Rejuvenate, 3. Celebrate
