July was a busy month with visits to Bundaberg, Maryborough and Hervey Bay. I went to Toowoomba too but it was too foggy and wet to take photos! Cold too - but very productive.
It was pleasing to hear what people had been doing since the training, in terms of observations, reflection, and discussions with colleagues. I managed to do co-observations with most people. A few things needed clearing up but for the most part I was confident that everyone has got a good grasp of the observation tools in their current form. Some suggestions were made for additions to the frequency sheet - for example, when teachers link to future learning or to assessment.
I'm delighted that our workshop in Brisbane is going ahead August 28-29. There are a lot of things I want to cover and I'm in the middle of planning how we can best cover them. Unfortunately not everyone can be there - distance and time are always factors - but I think strategies to deal with that should be one of the topics we discuss at the workshop.
The photos in case you're wondering are of Hervey Bay, Queens Park in Maryborough and the Burnett Bridge in Bundaberg. Thanks to everyone at WBIT and SQIT for your hospitality enthusiasm and support.
