Language man working on Aboriginal languages occasionally sharing his thoughts. August 13, 2014. Today is the first anniversary of the passing of Mrs F. Roberts, the old lady who taught me more Marra than anyone else in the world. She was awesome. I miss her and it makes me so sad that the world is a lesser place without her in it.

Diamond Sharp — Professional Learning. Reflections on teaching and learning in the English classroom. What that PD about Asperger’s and ASD did not tell you. So off to the GP we went.
