NDAs preventing consultation on crucial education changes - teachers Teachers' unions say non-disclosure agreements are creating secrecy around crucial education changes.

"It's a bit of a problem because why is our national curriculum and... our education system effectively being built in secret."
- Chris Abercrombie, PPTA

Worrye not about 'being productive,' for thou art not a product. Thou art a star daunsinge yn a hopeful skye. A signal blinking across centuryes and worldes. Thou art a song performid just once and perfectlye.

Really happy to see the nearly-six-year-old come home from school today with this book.

When you’re such a nerd that you dream of delivering a short talk about epistemology to a diverse group of primary school teachers gathered to think about maths. It was a great dream.

Jeepers! Obviously I don’t know your study, but 1000 would be… um…. Ambitious to say the least. Chat with your supervisors. 60-odd when you have quite a specific target audience who are incredibly under pressure sounds very good to me.

AND (I should have led with this): 62 responses is amazing. I don’t know of any researchers who don’t have trouble with recruitment / finding ‘participants’

David Schaumann used to be the guy in the know.

Also, I know you’ve made contact with NZATE, but this list looks handy too: nzate.org.nz/regional-ass...

Is there a listserv of HODs somewhere?

I get it. Hard to keep the faith about democracy in current political climate but your vote does matter. #Pōti #Vote

Yes, I like it too. Not sure how I’d feel if it were January or February though… 🥵🥵

Wonderful! Funnily enough I’m in Perth, and the only other time I’ve been here was first my first academic conference…ANZSA!

Thank you @taniaroxborogh.bsky.social ! I’m terrible at introducing myself and making small talk, but I think yesterday I managed to make a useful connection 🤞🤞🤞
Where are you / what’s your conference?

And that’s why you check (and check again) conference presentations… The QR code on my workshop tomorrow is defunct. Insert new code!!
