#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.

    It is a school's responsibility to provide PD, but it is a teachers responsibility to find PD that's right for them. #aussieED

      A7 Both. Schools & organizations need to provide PL relevant to school goals/strategies. Teachers can find PL relevant to personal goals.

    #aussieED A8. I personally think teachers don't understand how to do action research. Teachers are often trial & error researchers.
