@Sabiha1278 If I didn’t do what you did I wouldn’t have had the most amazing family member for 17 years. It was life changing in the most wonderful way. Keep the kitty.
Retrieval practice goes wrong when it becomes a ritual for teachers to perform.
The aim isn’t five questions at the start of every lesson. It’s making knowledge available when it’s needed: recalled successfully, used purposefully, corrected visibly, and strengthened for elsewhere and later.

@MaritStiles@CFifeKW They are also asking for him to address education funding and programming for vulnerable kids; more accessible and better quality health care and reduced wait times in both rural and urban areas…the list goes on…
@Mikeggibbs We live in the cradle of the largest freshwater complex in the world. It’s staggering how we sometimes take it for granted. It is truly a special one-of-a-kind part of the planet.
I’m on my way to meet with transit workers right now, but I have to talk about this first.
This is bullshit. Doug Ford is changing the rules so that he and his ministers never have to answer to you. Ever.
Freedom of Information laws are how journalists, researchers, and regular people find out what the government is actually doing with your tax dollars. That's how we found out about the Greenbelt scandal. The Ontario Place spa deal. All of it. Now he wants to exempt himself, his cabinet, and their offices from those laws. Completely.
He's not trying to protect one document. He's trying to make sure you can never find out what he's hiding. An honest government doesn't do that. And we're not going to let him get away with it.
The problem every board in Ontario is facing is deep chronic underfunding by this govt. PDSB balanced our budgets and were prevented from using our reserves to help make up the $45 million deficit Doug Ford’s Education Minister gave us for spec ed. #onted#onpoli#cutshurtkids
@jillpromoli 100% The outcome of the chaos ensuing in schools due to lack of funding is that student gaps are growing and many are behind in literacy and numeracy skills. The backs of educators are being broken every day trying to make it work. No one wins.
A lovely couple days of sentence-level instruction using @TheWritingRevol strategies:
