These research-backed scaffolding tips can help *all* students—giving advanced learners more durable memories and struggling students the support they need to make learning more achievable. https://t.co/jaEGHDGzZM

Trudeau’s net-zero electricity regulations are unaffordable, unrealistic and unconstitutional.

They will drive electricity rates through the roof and leave Saskatchewan with an unreliable power supply.

Our government will not let the federal government do that to Saskatchewan people.

Love this, by the way.

Peer feedback is most effective when it is focused and comes with clear guidelines. A choice board, like this one below helps to provide students with a sense of agency.

Executive functioning is so much more than colored folders and checklists. However, this is usually how this work manifests in schools.

Here is a crash course in executive functioning. Be ready to tell me what you learned at the end of the thread.

No one should be able to make decisions about education without spending time in the classroom. Especially policies implemented by politicians.

"If you're an average player, you want to be left alone because you want to be able to slide by. If you're a good player, you want to be coached. If you're a great player, you want the coach to tell you the truth every day.” -Nick Saban 💥

What are your thoughts to this quote?

[Dr. Bryan Pearlman #MaslowBeforeBloom @DrP_Principal]

When I was a building principal, we had a group of boys who were consistently getting office referrals during lunch for aggressive and disruptive behaviors. In the past, these behaviors had led to increasingly severe consequences that did not reduce the negative behaviors (and caused some students to be sent home and to miss instruction). I sat down with the group and we worked together to come up with a plan on what to do during lunch. One of the boys asked if we could start a knitting club, since his Auntie had recently taught him how to knit. Since he was a leader of the group, the other boys agreed. I asked them to come back tomorrow with some ideas of what to knit. The next day one of the boys said that he wanted to knit little hats for the preemies at the hospital, since his little cousin was there and that a nurse mentioned that they had run out of the little hats. The boys knitted daily and we delivered the hats to the hospital. We received many heartfelt thank you notes from families, nurses and doctors (and even an in-person visit with a personal thank you and cookies from a newborn's mom). This group continued to grow as did our ability to create knitted hats for preemies. This became a huge success for the participating students. There was significant improvement in the students’ behavior, attitude, achievement, and attendance. It is so important to think outside of the box for “win-win” solutions. It really isn’t the WHAT you do that is important, it is the WHY you are doing it! Our knitting group become a team, family, and community.

In the remaining days of school, you may see some out of character behaviors from some students. Remember that not all students look forward to summer break. For some students, school is their safe place… where they receive consistent food, where they feel most successful, where they are surrounded by kindness and love, and where they can just be themselves. All behaviors are communication. Respond first with empathy and compassion. Thank you for everything you do for our kids! Have an amazing and well-deserved summer break!

I will be traveling the country providing “Maslow Before Bloom” trainings this Summer and Fall. I would love to come to your school or district. Please message or email me for more info [email protected].

I'm chaperoning my son's third grade field trip at the museum today and just want to say that elementary teachers are a gift to humanity.

Healing isn't linear. It's ok to heal the same wound multiple times because you're not going backward, you're going deeper.

[Kylie Riordan @mindfulheal]

But what is the purpose of life? Many people spend their entire lives searching for this answer, and it can be elusive. Ultimately, the purpose of life is to love and to be loved, to connect with others and to make a positive impact on the world around us. It is to live in alignment with our soul's purpose and to use our unique gifts and talents to contribute to the greater good.
A life well-lived is one that is lived with intention and purpose, one that is guided by our innermost selves rather than external pressures and expectations. It is a life that is full of meaning, of moments that make us feel alive and connected to something greater than ourselves.
