35 years after the beginning of HECS, Skye Predavec finds that students are paying much more for much less #OffTheCharts australiainstitute.org.au/post/at-aust...

Chart showing that since 1990 Law degree and society and culture degree fees have gone up 705%, whereas they would have only risen 160% if they went up in line with inflation. Meanwhile staff per student numbers have fallen 42%

Love when @nicolemockler.bsky.social drops truth bombs. “Respect matters. Valuing what teachers actually know and do, and recognising that it’s complex…would be a pathway to reinstating trust in the teaching profession.”

Just because you went to school doesn't make you an expert on teaching

Reinstate trust in the teaching profession. That might just be the perfect place to start in fixing the teacher shortage.

The guest speaker at my 2023 Macquarie University graduation ceremony said A1 repeatedly when it should have been AI, making it clear her speech was written for her.

The consequence of not good enough, as evidenced in the United States right now, is that you inevitably get much, much worse.

My son with autism had a teacher in an IEP meeting say that she didn’t do that, ‘that’ being writing what was happening each day on the board in the morning or on a piece of paper for him. She had 3 goals for him in that IEP. One was that he ruled a margin in his book. What f’ing use is a margin?

One simulation is of a parent giving them hell which usually sends the PST reeling. The PST is then armed with strategies for difficult conversations and goes back in with most feeling more confident as a result of the exercise.

Uni of Newcastle models ITE on the Quality Teaching Model (now 20 years old) and focus on “basics” of:
- how to speak and think well
- how to act well in a material world
- how to relate well with others
(Matches with Kemmis’s architectures of practice)

How does the history curriculum both enable and constrain history teachers in developing student understandings of democracy? Claire Golledge explores the space between the curriculum as written and the curriculum as taught in different contexts. lnkd.in/e9DaTMw8 #EduSkyAU #EduSky

Next week will be the Parliament's last chance to spare voters from an onslaught of outright lies in political ads.

87% of Australians support truth in political advertising laws. Our Government should do its job.

I live on the outskirts of Sydney with a National Park out the back. Our house insurance went up approximately 40% this year.

Australia Institute polling finds almost one in five Australians admit their home is uninsured or underinsured.

That represents around 1.4 million homes at risk.

It was easy to read, with some clever writing and turns of phrase, bringing back to my ear what I heard in my youth. The integration of Australian history into it all, was the cherry on top. 2/2

Really enjoyed reading Gunnawah by @ronnisalt.bsky.social The characters and their back stories were interesting, and the plot gained speed steadily so by the end I was flicking pages furiously to finish. 1/2
