As an adult with #FASD today is an extremely important day for me & others. We need to understand that #FASDthinkDifferently and widen our understanding so that we can better support individuals and their families. We are all unique & capable of great things ❤ @FasdhubScotland

Does anybody still believe that the O'Toole tax credit will make child care affordable? https://t.co/TRsTckFUYv. My article in @IRPP analyzes child care affordability in Ontario. The tax credit loses by a country mile to the $10 a day plan. @ChildCareCanada @Child_Care_Now

The start of the school year has been exciting for my family. Sadly, it’s not as easy for all students. Some may have struggled over summer. How are educators using a trauma-informed approach to welcome students back? @sfiore21 @MsDsPhilosophy @thfutureisyouth @MrAslamTC

Excited to be learning about Twitter Chats! Can’t wait to attend my first one on Saturday! #elemchat

Words matter! Our thoughts shape our conversations. Let’s remember our students are doing the best they can. https://t.co/I80Pyt8uxk

Those with #FASD must constantly overcome frustration due to others' unrealistic expectations
💭Imagine daily being told to do things you are UNABLE to do
😔Then punished/shamed cause others think you SHOULD be able to
🔁Over and over and over
How would you feel? 😡 😥 😫

@WhyteLaurie A school in Milton, the Halton board. It’s about 40 minutes away, which is great since I was expecting an hour-long drive.

I met my Associate Teacher today. She will be my mentor this semester, as we teach grade three together. I can’t believe how well our philosophies align. I’m going to learn so much from her! #outdoorlearning #SocialEmotionalLearning

Last weekend before the kids are back to school. Excited for them to be back to a routine, to playing sports, and to be inspired by their teachers. Less excited to make lunches. #BacktoSchool2021 #momlife

@IrenaKravchouk @2school4coool @MsSJamkhandi @MrAslamTC @thfutureisyouth @MsDsPhilosophy @TraceyKennedy97 @TeacherMoise Great question, @IrenaKravchouk. I’m not very experienced with #edtech but I just became Google certified! I loved learning about to integrate this platform and can’t believe how easy it is.

[Jen Hillen @JenHillen]

@MsDsPhilosophy @2school4coool @thfutureisyouth @MrAslamTC I agree with you @MsDsPhilosophy, @2school4coool, @MsSJamkhandi. The hybrid model is inadequate. Students deserve to participate fully with peers, in virtual breakout rooms OR the classroom.

Read more from Pamela Cantor, M.D., in @Getting_Smart about the optimistic story developmental and learning science tells us and how we can optimize the contexts for learning with #wholechilddesign. https://t.co/bHAYo4mEjf

September 9th is International FASD Day. First celebrated in 1999, FASD day is devoted to raising awareness of fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD) to improve prevention of FASD and diagnosis and support for individuals with FASD.

Science during our vacation! ⁦@ManitoulinIsle⁩. It was cloudy during our stay, but thanks to this informative display, we could still learn about the night sky! #science #lifelonglearning
