#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.

    A1: If you do not know the student you will know little about the behaviour. Behaviour makes sense. ‘Why’ it happens is important. #aussieED

    Hi Caroline from Melbourne. I'm a believer in natural consequences #aussieed

  • yeates_mark Sep 10 @ 6:38 AM EDT
    A1. Underpin the level of trust in communication! Create context for behaviour, and drive Formative consequences for growth. #aussieED

    A1. Relationships help determine source of behaviour. Trust allows for openness and vulnerability. Reach any Student with the <3. #aussieED
  • GileskKate Sep 10 @ 6:39 AM EDT
    A1 real relationships built on understanding and respect can withstand and get even stronger, even during tough moments #aussieED
  • misterwootube Sep 10 @ 6:39 AM EDT

  • GileskKate Sep 10 @ 6:41 AM EDT
    A1 I really like that point about understanding the source of the behaviour #aussieED
  • bethhill2829 Sep 10 @ 6:41 AM EDT

    A1: to address behaviour you need to understand it. You can't understand kids or empathise with no relationship. #aussieED

  • bethhill2829 Sep 10 @ 6:47 AM EDT
    A2: We must keep in mind that all kids care! The apathetic behavior is covering some emotions they are wanting to hide. #AussieEd
  • NowakRo Sep 10 @ 6:47 AM EDT
    A2. When kids are apathetic, there is a reason. They want someone to care. As Ts, we must go the way, find root of the behaviour. #aussieED
  • Tam_Scharf Sep 10 @ 6:47 AM EDT
    A1. Could be many reasons. It is their way of telling us that something is wrong, be it the work or an issue outside of the task. #aussieED

    A2. Apathy can be a sign of billions of things- but mostly a cry for help! #AussieED
