Fascinating study looking at the use of social contagion in spreading positive knowledge and practices through populations
Social contagion is a powerful force.
People copy the thoughts, feelings, & actions of those to whom they are connected. Understanding social network structure & function makes it possible to use social contagion to intervene in the world to improve health, wealth, & learning.

We’re very pleased to continue our support for Learning Creates Australia as they test approaches to recognising more of who young people are and what they know and can do as they transition from school to work or further learning.
We are closer to realising our vision of all young people successfully transitioning from school to learning or work, following a multi-million commitment from @prfoundation1 to enable our next 3 years of work learningcreates.org.au/blog/… @bushjb

Great to be here @SydOperaHouse listening to a conversation between @pasi_sahlberg @sharon_goldfeld about well-being and health through and in schools.
Topics already canvassed: Should we drop the HSC? Should we ban smart phones in secondary schools? Good, lively conversation, grounded in real experiences of parents and students. Ping @prfoundation1 @learningcreates
