I am receiving a disturbing amount of emails from teachers in the DDSB. They're afraid to speak out. I don't want to put any teacher at risk of reprimand or worse but banning The Great Bear is the tip of the iceberg. It’s unconscionable conduct by supposed leaders. /1

Grade 3/4s were so excited to be the first class from @TaitPS to head out on a field trip! Thank you @N8ureNate and @outdoor_ed for this opportunity! #getoutside @wrdsb

[Caitlin Howald (she/her) @CHowald15]

Excited for this to arrive in time for some March break reading. Looking forward to discussing this with @wrdsb colleagues! @apples4theteach @MrsO_bekind

Thought you’d appreciate this @BriTeaches! 😂

Enjoying my first course in the @QueensEduc PME program! This last module had us create our curriculum philosophy, so thought I'd give it a share here! (I love @canva!) #lifelonglearner

What if our rubrics were wheels instead of linear progressions that give the impression of learning coming to an end? A colleague brought me this idea and I can’t stop thinking about it.

Gr 3/4 @wrdsb Ss are hooked on coding! It’s been so great to see such high engagement!
(Happy I was able to remember some of your #Beebot ideas @MsKash22!)

When we work hard for something we don't believe in, it's called stress. When we work hard for something we love, it's called passion.

@MrsLAbel2021 @silwrdsb @ms_cmiranda Thanks for sharing! I thought I'd pass along this folder of posters that was shared by the Black Teachers Association of Alberta on Instagram. They've shared an entire folder with posters of influential Black Canadians

@MrsLAbel2021 @silwrdsb @ms_cmiranda Would love to use this with my 3/4s @TaitPS

[Caitlin Howald (she/her) @CHowald15]

@MrsLAbel2021 @silwrdsb @ms_cmiranda I love this! Did you create it yourself? Would you be willing to share?

[Naheed Dosani @NaheedD]

Hey! Look! Did you see that massively huge convoy of health workers who has gone in to work each & every day to provide healthcare for vulnerable people amidst staffing shortages, snowstorms & a raging pandemic? Yeah...shoutout to that convoy. That convoy is the best. 🙌🏾

[Caitlin Howald (she/her) @CHowald15]

This was the first time on snowshoes or building a quinzee for many of these @TaitPS Grade 3/4s. Thanks @N8ureNate for the awesome outdoor adventure! We'd love to have you back!

If someone finds the strength to open up to you today… listen, and love. That’s what we need, non-judgemental listening, and unconditional loving. ❤️ #BellLetsTalk
