You meet the most amazing, inspirational people at the most unexpected times. We met a wonderful young Fijian woman working in a restaurant in Denarau. She thought she had missed us on our final night and left us a beautiful handwritten note and gift. One of life’s treasures.

Just like all students are capable of learning, every teacher is also capable of learning. Develop the mindset that everyone in the school is a learner, not just the students. We must test our own beliefs and practices and continue to grow and change. #edchat #FutureDriven

Having spent the weekend reading 75% of my 739 student reports, this made for some light humoured reading. For all of you who are in report writing season, enjoy a moment out......'Open to new ideas': What does teacher's report really mean? - BBC News

When your school is Student-Driven, not Data-Driven the results when students leave for the last time are evident. Positive school/student relationships should be a priority, not test scores! #plainstigers #KidsDeserveIt #PrincipalsinAction #tlap #LeadLAP #culturize @gcouros

What better than a long weekend to spend time doing more of what you love, with the ones you love.
