@CylonSaysNo @dobsalesltd @JennaACunninham The division calendar for the district my kids go to school in lists 244 staff days and 225 student days.
Unfortunately much of the time teachers spend in job required activity (planning, marking, data entry for district and province,coaching, professional learning,is invisible

@gerryvarty @TheBreakdownAB I didn’t see anything current either. Hope it is just the rumour mill churning.

@GascoyneCheryl Congrats!

“Today, the man wearing red got on the subway, he opened his folder and started reading. 🧐

A few stops later a man got on and asked him “what are you studying for? You look confused, maybe I can help?”

He said my son just failed a math test, and I am re-studying fractions so I can teach him. I am 42 years old and I don’t remember any of this, so I am reteaching myself.

The guy in the black informed him that he use to be a math teacher, and would help quiz him.

Everything the man in the red got wrong, it was broken down and corrected for him.

By the end of the train ride, the man had a better understanding.

He had a new method to go home with to teach his son.

It’s the little things like this that I love seeing, because most people could care less about what the person next to them is going through.

Put these charts together & you have a clearer picture of the state of education in Alberta.

Lowest investment in K-12 spending with class sizes that are waaaaay over the recommended thresholds. We’re not entering a crisis, we are in one #getca2024 #abed #ableg #yyc #yeg #epsb

COACHES: This is another HUGE pet peeve of mine.

Players trying to do it all themselves and making a potential rush opportunity into a 1v1.

The higher the level you play, the less likely a player will beat a defender 1v1. Especially on the rush.

I see so many kids try to do it themselves - and if the kid is talented enough at the younger ages it potentially may work out.

But as players advance to higher and higher levels, you rarely see anybody try to beat a defender 1v1. And even more rarely do you see anybody actually beat a defender 1v1.

I see so many coaches rewarding kids at the younger ages for taking the puck from one end of the ice to the other and scoring. While it's great that a number goes on the scoreboard, you are doing a disservice to the kid's development.

Because if that kid doesn't learn the value of passing and using their teammates, at some point this clip is going to happen to them. A LOT. And that player will eventually get passed by the kids that learned to play the right way with their teammates.

On this clip the ANA player tries to do it all himself and the puck goes the other way and eventually ends up in the back of his net. It's hard enough to beat one person 1v1 in high level hockey, let alone skating the puck through multiple defenders.

So coaches, please emphasize the value of using your teammates. I see this type of play SO OFTEN in youth hockey. Passing, hockey sense, playing with your head up, using your teammates...these skills translate to the next levels. Doing it yourself, even if it works as a young player, does not.

It starts with targeting the LGBTQ+ community as a test. Next will be reproductive rights and abortion issues.

Watch and see and don’t say you weren’t warned.

@lanefmoore All the best Lane. Thank you for being a great colleague and leader that I’ve always admired. Cheers on your new adventures.

Thanks @Crestomere for hosting @BlufftonSchool teachers today and thanks @GregEsteves for showing teachers how to use AI @WCPS72

@MullenMulling @LukaszukAB That’s a completely fallacious comparison. A totalitarian regime would have responded to the alternative society gatherings and Freedom Convoy with violence on a scale we do not typically ever have to think about in Canada.

Quick thread on different games we have played recently with our 11u team to start teaching a few new and different concepts.

These concepts include:
-Interior passing
-Bumper role (introducing PP soon)
-Triangles
-One touch passing
-Deception
