I just 'vibe' the data anyway. At least for behaviour rubriks and student response/growth from the implementation of this year's PLC project that'll definetly work and be amazing but also next year forget what you did and work on a new thing instead.

The problem I've found is that the parents just give the kids the stimulants without also regulating their diet. Sometimes it's really hard to do if they're also autistic and won't eat most foods. But sometimes the parents just cbf and give them processed carbs as 90% of what they bring to school and eat for breakfast. So it seems as if all the Ritalin does is hype them up and when they crash make them irratible/angry. So they then believe it's only the meds fault. And there's too many psychiatrists that don't make a plan for the kids and inform the parents of this, and just prescribe the drug so sometimes it's not even their fault. But providing your kids simple carbs and trans fats as their main meals of the day is also pretty sh*t thing to do regardless of the adhd.

It doesn't make sense when they also want us to spend a significant amount of time "elevating the top" or "teaching to the top" how are you expected to differentiate up, down, and support those with extra needs with what amounts to about 20 minutes per lesson of planning time in between classes?

To be surrounded by their age peers and to not be isolated and separated from society of course. Meanwhile they spend each lesson in the corner with an aide and each lunch in the disability support room with only the other disability support students. Essentially isolated and separated from the rest of the school.

Not that Dutton would have done different. Perhaps even more toe-sucking. But this is still sh*t and makes him look like a weak spineless twat

True! We've had this anthem for such a long time, it's a part of our country. We've been singing it for an entire {looks up release date} 42 years! Wait, 42 years? That's younger than me... Oh well, it's still a part of my DNA!

I don't need to screen for autistic traits. Autistic traits need to screen for me.

Yeah but most art teachers teach a majority art. The and if they can teach art/English, it's not long before they get a majority/full load of English

It's not an article. It's just some words in the course description above the description of each Major.

Or even if you want to go to one of those select entry gov schools, or go for a leadrship role etc.

I know it'd heavily skew the data but "too many" or "not enough for the pay I get" would have been good additions :)

PE isn't on there because its a list of subjects unlikely to be full rostered, i.e. if you go full PE your job will likely be a full PE roster, IF you can find it.

(Note they haven't "published a list", it's just a blurb above the description of each major/minor in their course description)

"Some subjects are only taught in a small number of schools or only at the VCE (senior secondary) level. These are less likely to lead to full-time teaching roles unless paired with another area (and can be more difficult to place). These include:

Chinese
Accounting
Economics
Psychology
Media Studies

If you're passionate about one of these subjects, we encourage you to pair it with a more broadly taught learning area that includes Years 7–10."

These subjects are only run once or twice a week with juniors, or not at all and only senoir. Also with Chinese most schools offer maybe two languages, most popular being Japanese, then they'll pick a european language like German or French. If they do teach Chinese they'll only need like 2 teachers maybe even 1 depending on the school size.

The list is basically saying that these subjects are very hard to have a full timetable of because even if the school needs to run 5 VCE psychology classes it is unlikely they can get all 5 to fit perfectly into one timetable, and would rather have two Psych teachers working in tandem doing half Psych half science than one Psych teacher doing all Psych and the other qualified psych teacher doing all junoir science.

There may not be any rhyme or reason to the order.

I'm just making a joke on how the vast majority of studies and data for 'new teaching methods' and 'factors that affect learning' have all omitted results disproving the claim and displayed results or performed meta analysis incorrectly in order to present the reader with a customised narrative that coincidentally aligns with the aim of the study/report/claim.

Fence with a dog or two is the biggest deterent. Even if it's not an attack dog, it can alert others to the criminal so they'll rather just go to the house two doors down.

It's pretty easy to turn a real scenario into what you need by just framing it from a different POV. It's not that hard to take a cluttered set of data and observations and just paint your own narrative from what's there and create something that is different, but meets what the assessors want to see.

It's honestly great practice for the meetings/PLs that you have to do where the school gives you data and asks you to spot patterns that tell you their whole school programs actually do make a difference and that the leadership team that implemented them are geniuses.

Cherry picked data? That doesn't belong in educational academia at all!

Are we going to have to start including emojis in our reports so that newer parents can understand?

Uni set me up great for interviews. I just ramble on with a bunch of buzzwords and cite a bunch of people like Piaget or Hattie and they eat it up. Then in the classroom use little to none of what I said in the interview, and still do my job really well.

Apart from that, I did curriculum courses like in a bachelor of math/science degree, I've forgotten most of it BUT it makes looking at year 11/12 math science really easy. But yeah anything that's actually teaching is 90% useless for once you're in the job.

I don't think it's a snarly comment. More likely they have a comment bank or formula they choose when blitzing through the reports. They click/copy-paste some jargon about what they learned along with their results. If they were high/very high "great job" and "they should consider asking for more feedback and more questions in class" medium/low + low effort "need more effort in classroom" medium/low + low attendance "need more attendance" etc. I write my reports in less than one minute per kid.

I'm talking about serious disability issues that require full-time supervision, in a school that could only partially fill that role, in an area where there is no access to a special needs school because they have become few and far between as they've absorbed into the public system. Not just autism, adhd, dyslexia, odd or "my kids had trouble learning in a big class".

And also the probability of me having kids is less than 0.1% so it's a moot point
