Most underrated piece: Entry routine Getting the start of class right makes everything else in the lesson easier. Students need to be quietly doing work contributing to their learning from the jump not fluffy busy work while you take attendance. Make it a real learning task.

After 5 years of @WALKTHRUs_5 Some reflections on CPD and coaching. 1. There are several components needed to translate ideas about teaching and learning into improved practice that can improve learning - and some are often so underdeveloped that change just doesn’t happen …

“The key to improving student behaviour is helping them succeed through clear, explicit instruction.” This with very deliberate procedures and routines has transformed my student’s behavior. They know exactly what to do and how to do it each day to learn. Success —> motivation.

Some of the biggest changes in our country don’t happen loudly. They happen quietly, buried in budgets, written in technical language most people never see. Budget 2025 quietly expands AI systems, digital infrastructure, and centralized authority in government. I unpack what’s

Hate speech is already illegal in Canada (Sections 318 and 319 of the Criminal Code). Bill C-9 won’t change that. What it will do is weaken long-standing Charter protections by removing safeguards for beliefs and opinions held in good faith. The government should not police

The antisemites say that Jews should leave Israel and “go back to where they came from.” At the same time they harass, and at worst kill Jews in the global diaspora, making it risky even to do something so benign as run a Jewish bakery in Australia! For the antisemites, Jews
Sydney Jewish bagel shop owner announces he has closed down his store “after two years of near constant antisemitic harassment.” Avner’s Bakery, run by Jewish celebrity chef Ed Halmagyi, has closed down following the Bondi Beach terror attack. “In the wake of the pogrom at

Australia's Jewish community was founded largely by Holocaust survivors, who literally went to the end of the earth to find safety. Yesterday Holocaust survivor Alexander Kleytman, 87, was murdered in an antisemitic terror attack in Sydney. He was killed shielding his wife.

Why do politicians on the left, like Albanese, always repeat the tired cliché that “there is no room for antisemitism here” following an attack on Jews? The point is that there IS enormous room for antisemitism in our liberals societies, and they helped to create it. Room
