Teachers report card: Teachers\u27 perceptions of education and their profession

The inaugural ASG-ACE Teachers Report Card, a joint initiative between ASG and the Australian College of Educators (ACE) surveyed teachers on a range of issues including testing, curriculum, stress, wellbeing, support, engagement, satisfaction, technology and opportunity at schools. The report confirmed teachers are passionate about their job, with 96 per cent of respondents saying they find teaching rewarding, and 91 per cent of teachers either \u27very satisfied\u27 or \u27satisfied\u27 with their profession. Nine out of 10 teachers reported a sense of pride about their profession and speak positively about their jobs to their friends and family. This is not surprising as teaching is widely acknowledged as a profession that is driven by passion. The survey also discovered that teachers who have been in the profession for more than two decades are more satisfied (93 per cent) in their job compared to teachers who have been teaching for less than 20 years (85 per cent)

Options for screening for gestational diabetes mellitus during the SARS‐CoV‐2 pandemic

The balance between avoiding severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 contagion and reducing wider clinical risk is unclear for gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) testing. Recent recommendations promote diagnostic approaches that limit collection but increase undiagnosed GDM, which potentially increases adverse pregnancy outcome risks. The most sensitive approach to detecting GDM at 24–28 weeks beyond the two-hour oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) is a one- hour OGTT (88% sensitivity). Less sensitive approaches use fasting glucose alone (≥5.1 mmol/L: misses 44–54% GDM) or asking ~20% of women for a second visit (fasting glucose 4.7–5.0 mmol/L (62–72% sensitive)). Choices should emphasise local and patient decision-making
