As Eddie Woo puts it, do not wait until the last four days & smash all your maths revision. Space it out, because that is how your brain reinforces learning. Good advice from one of our own teachers with HSC exams approaching. brnw.ch/21x6bB0

My 2 books read in Sept. The next book in the Dungeon Crawler Carl series - lots of laughs πŸ˜† My book for learning, by Glenn Forbes, has some great insights and structures to support the implementation of instructional leadership in a variety of contexts. Highly recommend πŸ‘

I forgot to share my books read in August! My book for fun was 'Dungeon Crawler Carl'. Highly entertaining so I'm now reading book 2. It's quite a big book so didn't leave me much time for my 2nd book. I bent the goal a bit & re-read the Instructional Leadership spotlight paper.

Teachers don't even need to check. We know what phase of the moon it is. Then hope it's not also a windy day too! πŸ˜† #teaching #teacherlife #school #teach #fullmoon

My books read in July! Book for learning was 'Classroom Vibe' by Timothy M. O'Leary. Great insights on classroom culture and the positive impact of teacher clarity and teacher credibility. Book for fun was an old book of my mothers and she passed on to me when I was a teenager.

Sticking with my goal of reading 2 books per month. One for enjoyment & one for learning. I've enjoyed another book by Jennifer Saint & hopeful to read more of her works. I saw Ben Sacco at the QASSP conference & he is just as passionate in his book as he is in person πŸ“šπŸ˜ƒ #read

Books I read in May. Sapiens was a big read - so much history! This was my second time reading the graphic novel rendition of To Kill a Mockingbird. If you enjoy the movie adaptation then you will enjoy this version. The illustrations take you right into the scenery & script. πŸ“š
