#EduSkyAU Team @eduskyauteam.bsky.social · May 27

The penultimate question - Q5! #EduSkyAU

Glenn Savage @glennsavage.bsky.social · May 27

And... now Q5, which takes us to the heart of context and the communities in which education happens: How might we work with students, families, and communities to co-design education futures? #EduSkyAU

#EduSkyAU Team @eduskyauteam.bsky.social · May 27

Ok, Q4 is up! Let's go peeps 😆 #EDuSkyAU

Glenn Savage @glennsavage.bsky.social · May 27

Having just come from a week of intensive work with school leaders in South Australia, this next question is very present in my mind: Q4. What unique role do school leaders play in turning future-focused ideas into action? #EduSkyAU

#EduSkyAU Team @eduskyauteam.bsky.social · May 27

We hope it goes well Sharon 👍 #EduSkyAU

#EduSkyAU Team @eduskyauteam.bsky.social · May 27

We are at the half way point of tonight's chat hosted by @glennsavage.bsky.social #EduSkyAU

Glenn Savage @glennsavage.bsky.social · May 27

Ok, so I could stay on Q2 all night, but here's a third one that really is just as important: Q3. What role should evidence play in shaping education futures? #EduSkyAU

#EduSkyAU Team @eduskyauteam.bsky.social · May 27

Don't forget to use the #EduSkyAU hashtag 😜

#EduSkyAU Team @eduskyauteam.bsky.social · May 27

Glenn is just getting warmed up people!! Here is Q2 😃. #EduSkyAU

Glenn Savage @glennsavage.bsky.social · May 27

Alrighty... this second one very close to my heart: Q2. How can governments better promote innovation in education, without imposing it from above?
