It's District Professional Development Day in Burnaby! Looking forward to some green screen fun this afternoon!

[Burnaby Schools @burnabyschools]

While #BurnabySchools students have grown up with technology, the skills to navigate it safely & in a useful way don’t necessarily come naturally. In addition to work in school, we're launching supports for families who are looking for help at home. More: https://t.co/ofct99VFFf

A friendly reminder that there is NO SCHOOL on Friday for K-12 students in #BurnabySchools. February 16 is a district-wide professional development day.

Classes are back in session on Tuesday, February 20 – following Family Day, a provincial holiday.

Want to track reading progress over time & make it visible? Not enough time to listen to all Ss read & give feedback?

Use @spaces_edu! Students record a passage. Then they reflect on their strengths as a reader. Next time, I’m adding goal setting too. Ss ❤️ it! #assessment

[Michelle Mactavish @MishMac]

Super excited to try this one!

Do your students have a portfolio? Could they spend time reviewing their documentation and reflecting on it? Here is a template to support that longitudinal work. More in my new book Student Self-Assessment: Canada https://t.co/DkF6U9N0Xt US https://t.co/nYp0Jz4Pcx

"It’s easy to make assumptions about what is going on in classrooms when you aren’t spending time in classrooms.

Go see for yourself. There is so much good happening out there if you simply go look for it."
