Enjoyed the conference - both affirming and challenging. Inspired by the passion of Victorian educators. Bruce Armstrong always inspires with his crafted presentations. The symbolism of DET organising these conferences is powerful. Feel grateful and fortunate.

What about adapting a course that gives a good balance to practical in-school training and theory at university? What about the possibility of 2-3 days placed in a school, 1-2 days university and 1 day for study/assignments.

The use of data made me contmemplate whether we also are following this trend. This is my must do when I get back to school. I want to show our teachers to see their reaction to this and then use this as springboard for change

So what's the take away for our primary school? Increased focus on student agency and voice. First step -  incorporating the language to support the students to make connections to what they are already contributing. Incorporating student feedback into unit evaluations. Sharing 'Amplify'

Great to have so many quality break out sessions that are interactive, we need to take our learning back to our schools. Through polycom or podcasts can we share these sessions / presentations so we can take to staff meetings

Great to be able to meet and network more broadly than we normally do both as principals/ school leaders and with other regional staff

We always talk about how important and collaboration is important to improving student outcomes. We frequently reference that explicit teaching can improve students with a .56 to .75 effect size.  We always hear how teachers are time poor. Well, its time to give primary teachers the same amount of planning time as their secondary counter parts, so they can collaboratively plan more literacy and numeracy lessons.

They may not have the same amount of ‘marking’, but they must plan and develop resources (which in some cases can take hours) for highly engaging and explicit lessons, on top of the nurse, psychologist, mentor, mediator, administer, assess, police officer, mother/father, doctor, roles they play each day.

Make an app for peer observation that easy to use, record observations, reference HITS and has a range to tools to monitor/count/time teacher and student behaviour.

Our systems is weakend as we as we cant shift the survivors. Those that do enough to avoid unsatisfactory performance...champions of MEDIOCRITY! Cant motivate and inspire everyone. There should be process and accountability in doing your job. Evidence of meeting the required standards and consequences if these are not met. Teachers aren't students but professionals.
Expect it and treat them as such.
Strengthen the PDP process, link it as a requirement of VIT registration.
Doc or take staff back a step if the dont provide evidence.
Isn't this what happens in industry?

Could we give teachers a pay incentive to work in schools where their experience is needed. Where the students are the Toughest to work with due to their past experiences (trauma) which causes unexpected violent outbursts that disrupt the learning of others

Are we aware how fortunate our system is to have Bruce Armstrong share insights and inspiration in his truly charismatic manner?
As system leaders we can support school improvement with full knowledge that our DET leaders know our work and support the positive change we make daily.
Thank you.

How do we use what we have learnt from the conference through to the Networks and skill up Network leaders particularly in light of the fact that many of the existing leaders will not be in those positions next year. Is there a strategy to cover these gaps?

The feedback from NAPLAN is too slow for the classroom teacher and so the data from the test is not responded to in a timely manner. Teachers do not get enough PLT/PLC time to unpack NAPLAN data with their team.

# data[].attributes.body
Can we gather and share some resources that we could use for off level testing of students who end up with NAPLAN results that say thing so like Beyond Band 8 or Beyond Band 10. Are there tools that schools are already using which could be shared to assess where these students are at and also measure their growth and target areas for improvement. This can be a real challenge, particularly in a secondary environment.

Consider how from a central and regional level we can shift conversations from perceptions about government schools to a conversations that champions the real achievements in our schools. These historical perceptions are ingrained and are hard to be combated by a single school, and need the combined voices of the entire department.
