It just takes some time

This is the happiest I’ve been watching Survivor in forever.

Today an article I was paid to write was published so now I can claim I’m a paid writer.

In my ongoing series about explicit teaching and checks for understanding today we have how to be responsive while teaching.

#SurvivorAU someone needs to channel the spirit of the late great Keith Nale to these castaways that could not possibly stick to a simple consensus vote.

This cut was art

This has to pay off eventually because we keep seeing it even when Mark wins the challenge.

Inclusion illusion: inclusive ed the victim of unimpactful learning tools Trendy tools and platforms that look great but lack a credible evidence base to show they actually improve learning are hampering inclusive education in Australian schools, an inclusion specialist has...

I was interviewed by EducationHQ for some of my hot takes on Inclusion and apparently there were so many that it’s becoming 2 articles.

In my opinion it’s always mini white board!

Thanks for sharing!

#TraitorsUS everyone all dolled up and Rob looks like someone’s going to question him for being from Chino in The OC

#TraitorsUS final fire Alan looks like someone bedazzled the Cookie Monster.

One of my favourite academics just quoted me…

This is crazy.

Is the Meta on #TheTraitorsUS to track who makes the deciding vote? It’s been Rob so many times and I’m sure it’s been the traitor in so many other series.

I once won a bet for the outcome of a reality show I was in and knew the outcome of.

We’re re-watching Survivor Tocantins and I completely forgot that Jeff has absolutely no time for Coach’s shenanigans during this season. It’s hilarious how consistently Jeff tries to undercut or set Coach up. #Survivor #rhap

If Christian Hubicki plays a blinder on his second time out for #Survivor50 can we refer to him as “Born again Christian”?

Sneaking a Penner quote into an article I wrote about the research behind and practice of using vivid stories as a tool for learning.

Kill your darlings Why change is hard but a valuable tool for school improvement if implemented well.

Sometimes if we want the best final product (learning) we have to ‘kill our darlings’.

If that doesn’t get you interested, click through and read for a story of change that spans multiple continents.

My instant thought was “I need to text @shannongaitz.bsky.social”

I’m half way through Escape! By @stephenfishbach.bsky.social and there’s so many niche #Survivor in jokes so naturally slipped in to the story. Later days, gastrointestinal distress, then a whole chapter about creating a 2-1-1 vote and even a character with the last name Bloom. #rhap

#TheTraitorsUS
Why are we calling him Rob R?

Why not ‘The Rob that Shucks’?

Pretty funny and they said “could you tell us that last part again but instead tell us how scary it felt in that moment”.

I didn’t read the room well because I responded with “na, it was pretty funny” and the interview was over

It’s taking me back to when I was filming backstory and I was telling a story of a traumatic car accident I was in and was hanging upside down and forgot all about it. When I undid the seatbelt gravity kicked in and I fell into the ceiling. I finished the story telling the producer that it was…

This isn’t just buying into hype, I’m 16 chapters in and I love this book. The dual perspectives as a narrative device creates such a unique but real image of the world of reality tv.

The way the producers feed you lines and are disappointed when you don’t follow along.

Aubry and Q on the same starting tribe. They knew exactly what they were doing

No problem! Now I’m sleep deprived now only from two young kids, but also because I couldn’t stop reading last night.

As a former failed reality tv show contestant this novel already speaks to me in a way I’ve never experienced.

This felt like a fitting location to start reading @stephenfishbach.bsky.social debut novel on release day all the way from the heat of an Australian summer. #rhap #survivor #escape

Culture Vultures If there's no perfect plan to create staff culture what can help foster improvement?

I’ve hit a point in my life where I now right 2.5k word blog posts about education with citations to research while still making pop culture references. #explicitteaching #education #vce #det
