Woburn Black student leaders epitomize @tdsb_cebsa

They wanted to lift up their hotspot community that experienced a student shooting in 2020 with speakers that were local, looked like them, or succeeded from similar surroundings. Bravo!

Magic happens @tdsb

@MercyYulien @brandonzoras I need some of this in my life!

@TDSBMrsGreco @SummitHeightsPS @tdsb This dad joke costume got the best eye-roll and groan out of my daughter. Love it!

Well played.

@mslongpre @mrbgilson Would love to.

Am all for distruption and text change.

My problem is that others are already running multiple sections THIS semester with said texts...

And I have 2 sections next...

Applies to every subject & every teacher.

Every.

Calculus class isn’t a sacred space where curriculum reigns supreme above anti-oppression, accessibility, & culturally responsive teaching. Go from “this student just can’t cut it” to “how do I make this concept accessible?” Math services humans, not the other way around.

A powerful message from Coach Pop on Indigenous Peoples’ Day.

Celebrating excellent student drama Tableau Vivant work

My grade 11s were challenged to recreate Norman Rockwell paintings with their own modern take.

Here are two of the best submissions:

No matter how much sleep I lose, no matter how many pivots I make, in the hybrid model my virtual students get short-changed.

*****
This week's challenge: teach improv to 25 in-person drama students and 2 virtual.

2.

Doing improv.

From home.

This is not the way.

Middle class parenting moment:

When your kid tells you that you can't use THEIR bathroom in YOUR house.

[Ashley Marshall @MarshallSaidIt]

People are quick to dismiss that which they misunderstand.

But such an outpouring of empathy from students is the mark of good, caring people

Thanks @MercyYulien for organizing

Don't write off today's youth as uncaring and detached

So proud of students at #Woburn Collegiate responding to the Day of #truth and #reconcilation

Challenged by @tdsbTLC to journal my educational journey to track personal growth

Sigh... not enthused but giving it a go

@YourNikt Told my HS students that our school is forking out enough $$ on bathroom repairs to purchase new Chromebooks.

I think they're on-board with pointing out culprits...

[Ashley Marshall @MarshallSaidIt]

@PavWander @StaffPodcast Powerful.

[Ashley Marshall @MarshallSaidIt]

My G12 daughter in @YRDSB says a new directive forbids teachers taking students outside for their 15 min break 😳

Do the decision-makers behind this stinker sit at THEIR desks for 2.5 hours straight?

Who comes up with these random, unreasonable rules? 🤷🏿‍♂️

An afternoon at @tdsbTLC of 🤯 related to being a Critically-Conscious Practitioner in my teaching.

Karen Murray challenged me to be #transformative and to #question whether everything I do is still "in service of students."

Participating in @tdsbTLC co-learning day of activities.

A few minutes in and already disrupting my thinking:

"Land acknowledgements were never meant to be rote." @TanyaSenk

Wow.

[Ashley Marshall @MarshallSaidIt]

@MoreYellow13 @Jason_To TDSB applied courses are filled predominantly with BIPOC students.

The streaming is undeliably racist (and classist). That it starts in middle school when G8s select HS courses, means they enter HS disadvantaged.

Had to fight against this personally in HS.
