Best thing about speaking at the Government House reception for the AATE ALEA conference? Seeing my colleagues looking back at me. Such warmth.
And I got to meet Dr Richard Harris and Fiona Harris (standing next to me here) #AATEALEAConference
How lucky am I to work with these three at UniSA. Talking about authentic assessment at the #AATEALEAConference
