October is Mi’kmaw History Month, and this year’s theme is Mijipjewey Na Mawa’luksi’k (Me gyp je wey na Ma waa loog seeg). Take a look at this year’s poster to learn more and join us in celebrating how food gathers us together.
Is there a correlation between environmental value and implementing place-based education in the classroom? This study explored that possible connection. #Summer6110
A great video to introduce the concept of place-based education. This is an area I really love learning and growing in as a teacher - I see so much value in it. 📚🌲✏️🍁 #Summer6110
COE faculty bring more place-based education to their teaching and share best practices with districts and schools interested in taking advantage of students' natural surroundings.

I used journals in middle school, cross-curricular, with good student engagement. Last year I brought journals into my high school ELA and Psych. classrooms, and will amp up the outdoor connections for 2024-25! 🐛🍁📓✏️ #outdooreducation#placebasedlearning#Summer6110
Today was our last Nature Journal day. Students were extra creative in their last journal entry! They are excited to bring these journals home after a full year of memories! #NatureJournal

After sharing an article out of Quebec regarding teacher experience and PD with outdoor education - I considered my own. I truly enjoyed getting out on the water for an afternoon of PD. My district at the time gave so many CHOICES to learn. 🎣🫖🌱#Summer6110
@BrookeBoutilier The first unit is Foundations of Psychology. Below is a journal writing prompt I provided to students. Other reflections may involve connections to lab experiences, activities, readings, films, and so forth. Students really enjoyed it - most writing over a page! #Summer6110
@ASSanford2 I will definitely be trying this in my classroom in the fall semester. This could be a great way to split up several concepts across a class, and have a note-making gallery walk too! Thanks for all the great ideas, Amanda! 💡 #Summer6110
Why does outdoor play matter for children? A great resource for families in Nova Scotia! 🌲🎣🛝⚾️🩵 https://t.co/dALwzsE7eZ #NovaScotia#outdoorplay#Summer6110
@adklavano If you are interested in seeing some lovely posts where play based intersects with outdoor AND place based learnings - pop over to https://t.co/slcbUUU1db! I was lucky enough to attend a PD last fall that she facilitated. She is doing awesome work with students! #Summer6110
@MsFeener Curriculum can certainly vary depending on location. BC is concept based with a focus on development of competencies. Literary Studies 12 even lists graphic novels! 😊 https://t.co/bXMzelqFRw #Summer6110
Here is the link to the video, in case you cannot find it via the shared post. What would your learning method be? Would it change daily? I have to admit, as a learner I always enjoy taking notes on paper or my iPad! 😊 #Summer6110
💡 Giving your students choice in how they process information empowers them to lead their own learning—and better complete the task at hand!

We often discuss ‘voice and choice’ in terms of assessment, but what about when we consider HOW students may want to learn. Take a peek below at the discussion to see a video by @Catlin_Tucker and this article by @mmarcellis for more! 💻📚✏️ #Summer6110
@Catlin_Tucker Perhaps this paper is also interesting: https://t.co/FCqJxX6I9i. We describe the potential of the offline and online delivery methods to give students a choice in time and place to support their need for autonomy.
@brookebirm Here are a couple CM in Education articles from independent companies. Another starting point to build on if interested in this area of education. 😊 https://t.co/cJwvMqWbod

@brookebirm I would love to hear how an expert in the field of change management would respond. If you knew someone in that area, they could add great value to the discussion. I worked with a PhD candidate in CM when transitioning staff to a new hospital - interesting field! #Summer6110
@matarsenaul0 The mention of election and representation I find to be powerful pieces to reflect upon. How are teachers and administration supporting inclusive student councils? This article draws attention to that. Something to think about! https://t.co/Gkrul8go25 #Summer6110
@KamalDhillonWPG I really enjoyed this read by Carolyn Roberts! It sparked a curiosity in me for decolonization of evaluations. This article digs into a framework for decolonization of evaluations - page 110 has a helpful visual. https://t.co/NFYSMhQZZD #Summer6110
