In all my years of teaching the one constant expectation has always been -write your program -design your learning -build your resources -now it seems the hardest task of all. Out of everything -it’s the core. How did we get here ? Don’t want to program don’t be a teacher 🤷♀️

Woke up this morning to find that the new prime minister of Australia had quoted my lyrics in his first press conference: “Just because you’re going forwards, doesn’t mean I’m going backwards”. Here’s my response to that welcome news.

I have never been prouder of my profession than over the past two years as teachers around the world have shown care, resilience, flexibility and determination to educate young people in the most trying times. Happy World Teachers' Day. Well-deserved appreciation. #WTD2021

Today is #worldteachersday. In the last 2 years, teachers the world over have adapted their practice, supported students & their families & helped young people stay engaged with education. They do it for too little pay & for too long hours. They deserve so much #MoreThanThanks

Show your support for Teachers and Students across NSW
This campaign is about ensuring that our schools are staffed, our teachers retained, and our professional workload allows us to be the best teacher we can be for all students #morethanthanks

We shouldn't spend more time documenting a lesson than we do delivering it. Teachers need more time to be able to do their job properly. #morethanthanks

As we come to the end of a whole term in Remote Learning - so many people, teachers and students need to be reminded #lockdown #remotelearning #aussieED

I know I am definitely spending more time than 3.5 hours on my computer. Impossible to plan, teach and mark work plus well-being and lead in that time. Our work has shifted drastically and at the end of each day I am exhausted!

My psychologist, who has 20yrs international experience in severe trauma therapy, revealed to me that she can no longer watch the NSW pressers as the psychological gaslighting techniques & language deliberately used makes her physically ill.
😳
So I guess I wasn’t imagining it…

Sydney Twitter friends: this might seem obvious, but if you have a friend/acquaintance/family member living on their own, give them a quick call just to check in during this wretched period. They’ll appreciate it.
