'We can reflect back on many, many things that we have learned during those periods of remote schooling, not least of which are some pretty basic but big questions such as where and when does learning take place, and what is the role of schooling within children's wider lives? Let's embrace those challenges. Let's embrace those big questions and think, OK, what can we do now to build on all of that learning and take those valuable experiences that we all had during remote schooling forwards to the next chapter of our teaching and learning journey?'

'Technology can bring us all kinds of efficiencies. Technology can open up new opportunities to do things in different ways, but only if we let it. And when we think about technology in new ways, let's not think just about new as being innovative or buying more equipment. Let's think about technology being used in a way that helps to address today's problems.'

-As Professor John Hattie found through his research – “If teachers and leaders are able to choose tools that help them to be the teacher or leader that they want to be, then both the tool and the person become more effective, and that lead us towards greater collective efficacy which we know trebles the impact on student achievement” (Hattie, 2020). So it’s worth us understanding what makes ‘us’ effective. What are our individual pedagogical beliefs, and what tools and strategies will help ‘us’ to become the very best teacher that we can be?
