@DPOutdoorEd @dp_EarlyYears @MrResendes Look for clues in what you see! Size, shape, colour... All of these can help when trying to ID a bird @BirdsCanada_ON

Ontario’s Principals and Vice-Principals continue to struggle with new gov't initiatives, staff shortages, violence in schools & mental wellness. We need fair & adequate compensation, support, respect & efforts to address work intensification. Full stmt:https://t.co/oOVUnnqkv6

@PizzaniGVAN Thanks @PizzaniGVAN Grade 6s for expressing your position so well! I have lots to think about! And yes, #birding is always a good way to advance your cause 😉

And we wonder why no one wants to become a teacher:
*Having no voice even as an expert
*Working excessive hours unpaid
*Limited resources
*Navigating bureaucratic hurdles
*Dealing w/ disruptive behavior
*Lack of respect/recognition
*Unrealistic expectations
*Burnout

Time to post this (obvious-to-any-actual-teacher) info nugget again:

Teachers can’t run 1-1 therapy sessions in mainstream classrooms after every behaviour incident AND still teach stuff.

There's no stopping the "Mahna Mahna" phenomena! 🎶 🎶 🎶 The Muppet Show is streaming only on @DisneyPlus.

Today is #NationalBirdDay so I thought I'd share a pic of this Northern Pintail drake I took recently in a Toronto park! #birding @BirdsCanada_ON @BirdsCanada

[Camille C. @EducatorCCC]

Good morning!

[Dan Birkenbergs @DBirk71]

@GrossiNatalie @Jarrett_Lerner No, but I have looked into them 🤣

[RAK Foundation @RAKFoundation]

Do your little bit of good. 💖 It matters.

Over 90% of Finnish teachers remain in education for entirety of career. How? Teachers are respected as professionals, given adequate time for planning during the school day, and more autonomy in school decisions. Maybe that's why we lose nearly 50% of teachers every 5 years!
