A1. To me, alternative assessments are assessments that really focus on the six Cs of learning - they are non traditional (ie. paper pencil tasks) and can incorporate a wide variety of other skills. Here are some assessments I regularly use with students. #NLMathChat
It was an exciting day at St. Noel with the Fire Department and Sparky on site! Thanks @WasagaBeachFire for educating our Ss about fire safety and letting them tour the fire trucks. 🔥 🚒 @SMCDSB_SNC
National Day of Truth and Reconciliation was a day of listening, learning and reflection. Our heart gardens honour residential school survivors and their families. 🧡🧡#TruthAndReconciliation#OrangeShirtDay2022@SMCDSB_SNC
Orange Shirt Day should not be a called or turned into a “celebration”. It is our Remembrance Day. We honour and observe. This day represents many lost children and widespread intergenerational trauma. Its a time to learn and reflect. #EveryChildMatters
Coding with Micro:bits in the VP office! The office should NOT be viewed as a negative place to visit. Spending time with Ss, especially when they are struggling, can go a long way. Building relationships sets Ss up for success. @SMCDSB_SNC
What an inspirational day! There was lots of energy at our Terry Fox walk! Way to go SNC, we reached our school donation goal. 🏃♂️ #terryfox#anythingispossible@SMCDSB_SNC
One of my favorite things about school culture… is that everyone gets to contribute to it. It is not just a reflection of the administration or the leadership team; it is a reflection of everyone.
St. Noel’s entrance is much more exciting now that our digital signage is up and running. Thanks Mr. Grant for helping with this! We will be able to communicate information, showcase student work and share pictures of our school community in action. #leveragedigital@SMCDSB_SNC
Our St. Noel Kindies made the news with their special mail delivery from #Queen Elizabeth. ✉️ 👑 @SMCDSB_SNC@SMCDSB https://t.co/ezZ2Pr1SRU via @CTVBarrieNews
Attn: ROYAL AIR delivery to St. Noel!! 👑 ✈️ Our JK/SK class sent a letter Queen Elizabeth II during her Platinum Jubilee and they received a letter back today (dated Aug. 25th). What an incredible gift! @SMCDSB_SNC@SMCDSB
What an awesome first week at SNC! Our incredible staff welcomed our students back with such positivity. There is a distinct community feel at SNC and a sense of belonging and I am grateful to be a part of it. #strongerbettertogether#weliveatthebeach@SMCDSB_SNC
St. Noel staff kicked off our day with a photo scavenger hunt. There were lots of smiles, communication and team spirit. 📷 #strongerbettertogether@SMCDSB_SNC
Look at these great outdoor learning areas at St. Noel! Not all classrooms have 4 walls. I can’t wait to see these spaces lively with students!🌲 🌳 @SMCDSB_SNC
Every new beginning comes from some other beginning’s end! WCDSB has been my “home” for 15 years but I have made a big life decision to switch boards and move back to my actual hometown.❤️ I am excited for my new beginning as VP at St. Noel Chabanel. @SMCDSB@SMCDSB_SNC
