School is back, and I’ve started off the year using the Question Sort technique I learned in a @trevormackenzie.bsky.social PD in every class. Students write questions on post-its, then categorise the questions, then we discuss. They’re engaged, owning their learning, THINKING, and working together!

I’ve heard people say that AI could help teacher workload issues, but as a HOD, it’s added to my workload because now I spend my time chasing students whose work has been flagged as AI and trying to get to the bottom of what is their work and what isn’t.

Thrilled to report I am no longer existing in the human realm after my post-conference massage blasted me into another dimension ✨✨✨

Me and @steven-d-roberts.bsky.social piece on misogyny and extremism has just been republished by VOX-Pol (originally in @theconvo-bot.bsky.social). voxpol.eu/should-misog...

My first Conversation article. theconversation.com/trans-youth-...

Dr Ellie Mohammadi Foomani shared her research on co-designing with preservice teachers to help them experience relational and restorative pedagogies. A transformative process leading to joy and authenticity for the researchers and autonomy and self-efficacy for preservice teachers 💞 #AARE2024

My true love

Thank you to @tanjinashraf.bsky.social for your thoughtful words on my presentation and for capturing this incredible picture of me being serious and scholarly

Dr Amanda McKay presented her chapter with Dr Stephanie Wescott on teacher guilt in testing regime. A very moving and beautifully theorised analysis of the clash between teacher values and actions in data-centric school cultures. Rip down the data walls! @chalkhands.bsky.social #AARE2024

Rochelle Banks presents her autoethnographic exploration of sexual harassment within educational institutions. The Bro Code: a workplace culture of hypermasculine male privilege - so many absolutely disgusting examples of a toxic environment. A brilliant and moving presentation #AARE2024

This research was so immersive and memorable - sound matters! #AARE2024

A brilliant presentation from @tanjinashraf.bsky.social - loved the point about the paradox of theory being hard to explain but still making sense! #AARE2024

Seeing @aliceelwell.bsky.social presenting is always a thing to behold! Her research is about affective encounters produced via the practice of critical literacy in English classrooms. Brilliant brilliant ✨

This is the professional vibe I bring to the function #AARE2024

We’re getting all the secret journal business, as Prof Susanne Gannon called it. @stewartriddle.com gives the shameless plug for becoming an AER reviewer because it’ll give us an edge and help us understand our work #AARE2024

Brilliant presentation from @drstephaniewescott.bsky.social on how to get published. Sage advice on writerly identity, being a part of public dialogue, and how: “a good set of papers is a stronger story to tell” rather than some random papers that you’re rushing to get out #AARE2024

Thank you to Dr Ben Zunica for facilitating a supportive Lightning Talk session for ECRs and research students. So many interesting studies! Here’s me telling a room of scholars that my PhD is about ✨vibes✨ #AARE2024

Dr Michelle Bishop is absolutely delightful. Love the authenticity of her presentation style - so engaging #AARE2024

Finally jumped on here! Sharing one of my most recent op eds on Indigenous considerations about AI

Thank you for the nightmare fuel, Professor Matt Bower #AARE2024

Hiii Twitter is a hellscape and LinkedIn is a sentient resume so here I am 🤠

Same applies to research.

Very honoured to have ben selected as one of the incoming ECR editor interns for the Australian Educational Researcher. Looking forward to working with the team and learning the ropes with excellent colleagues there! @australianare.bsky.social
