This school is offering concrete advice to students & parents for how to study for exams, including putting away your phone. "Improving academic achievement has a stronger influence on studentsā self-perception than the reverse: motivation may come at the end of a study session."

Ireland has been among the highest performing English-speaking countries in PIRLS and PISA for almost two decades. In a report I wrote after visiting Ireland last year, I concluded that these high levels of literacy have a number of mutually reinforcing contributing factors.

Saddened to hear of the passing of Bruce Dennett. A towering figure in the NSW history teaching community. āQuestion everything, even Bruceā, but his legacy is very secure in the positive influence he had over many thousands of students and colleagues at many levels.

Schools are rapidly adopting behavior policies that fail immediately and dramatically, leading to further panicked lurching. Why? A lack of basic philosophy about how school and school discipline work. š§µ
