Hey @Nelkcarps
Look who I bumped into at a workshop yesterday. Nice to connect with a mutual-Gary-fan!!!
Hope you're well. Happy new schoool year.
And not a phone in sight. Being present and loving the experience.
👋 @salmonmornay thanks so much for #sonicjourney on Saturday morning. We didn’t know about @songsfromthecanyon Had a great night! Fabulous show.
Hello @Officeworks
Twice I had trouble with the Divvy car park in OW Glebe. At both times the card that I used to get in would not let me out. This seriously inconvenienced us and the people backing up behind us.
We may not return to that store as the parking system is so bad!
First school visit in the UK within 24 hours of landing, the amazing @POWFS with my good friend and Headteacher Gary Spracklen and meeting the wonderful team. It's a great place to learn.
Always great to welcome international visitors to The Prince of Wales School (@POWFS). Here is what Dr @AnneKnock had to say about her visit today.

An excellent paper, Tom.
"it is impossible for students to develop agency unless teachers themselves are agents, trusted by the school and the wider system to craft and design learning with students. Students only become agents when capable teachers do as well.” @LeadbeaterCh

Thinking about the discussion around innovative learning environments earlier this week. In all the work I've done with schools, this is what I know...the provision of innovative spaces requires a lot of [rewarding] work behind the scenes

Let's re-wild school through regenerative practices.
Rather than maintaining a school's predictable lifecycle, ‘we will just keep doing the same thing we’ve always done’ future-thinking schools can embrace the adaptive fragility of an ecosystem

Imagine walking past this edifice every day.
The city of Lyon, once known as the sleeping beauty, it became lost in an industrial nightmare. Lyon is is revitalised by an artists collective, with buildings still necessary, it is now a city of murals.

Get a load of this joyful little comedian!
Researchers at the University of Bristol (UK) recently created the Early Humor Survey to explore how humor develops in very young children.
They found that roughly half of the babies in the tool’s data set showed an appreciation for humor by 2 months of age - and that by 11 months, roughly half of the babies began to experiment with making their own jokes. bristol.ac.uk/news/2021/nove…

Communication from you (recorded phone & email) spends more wordage on ensuring I'm respectful in m,y communication than it does acknowledging a serious problem that has occurred🧵
