At #EduTechAU @HargreavesBC discussed the loss of “the magic” in education as “disenchantment”.
We have two crises happening:
🧑🎓Students not attending school.
👩🏫Teachers leaving the profession.
Maybe these aren’t separate problems.
Maybe they share the same cause.

Good Morning #Sydney. Looking forward to hearing what’s new over the next few days at @EDUtech_AU, but even more interested in the conversations about the challenges schools are trying to solve.
Innovation is easy to talk about. Change is harder.

From humble beginnings in 2015, we’ve grown into a global grassroots movement connecting aspiring and existing women leaders in education, giving them a voice and platform to lead with confidence. We are now over 40 networks strong around the world.
Courage doesn’t always roar. Sometimes courage is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying, “I will try again tomorrow.”

Leadership is about getting comfortable in the Learning Pit. Challenges, uncertainty, & growth go hand in hand. I used to think I’d climb out… now I’ve just taken up residence. 🏡😅

I enjoy exploring new #AI tools as much as many of my connections here do. AI can be a powerful assistant, but at the end of the day only one stands out as the best in my mind. In my latest article I unpack why. linkedin.com/pulse/best-ai-t… via @LinkedIn
Ready - set - go! As we kick start Term 1 in Australian schools next week, I have to thank @JamesClear for his 3-2-1 Newsletter. Your quote this week got me thinking about how I am going to attack this year. Adaptable consistency!

Have really enjoyed using @GetSchoolAI with students this year and am keen to check out their Basecamp program, which comes with Pro level teacher access to the platform until June 30 2025. Worth a look if you're new and unsure about #AI.

Replace the words "I haven't got time for this" with "I'm too busy for this". If it still works and feels okay, you have your priorities straight.
This is a good way to recalibrate your thinking when identifying your priorities.

"Communication is about what is received, not what is intended. If there is a gap between what you are saying and what they are hearing, you have to find a new way to say it."

In many cases, what you hope to learn by reading books or listening to podcasts can only be learned by attempting what you fear. Some knowledge is only revealed through action.

"Mastery requires lots of practice. But the more you practice something, the more boring and routine it becomes.
Thus, an essential component of mastery is the ability to maintain your enthusiasm. The master continues to find the fundamentals interesting."

We are in the 2nd decade of the 21st century. Technology competency or use is no longer an option for educators.

"If you feel resistance before you begin, it's usually procrastination and you need to get started.
If you feel resistance after you begin, it's usually feedback and you need to make adjustments."
