Hey @nseducation! Soon there will be 100s of new BEd grads around the province, teachers who could be helping with the severe substitute teacher shortage. Can you help fast track the certification process for these teachers? The regular 6++ weeks is WAY too long! #nsed #nspoli

Would you believe me if I told you that 2 > 4 ? After tonight's class I can prove it. #EDUC469T

Remembering to give wait time is so important for students! #waittimeisthinktime #educ469T

Has anyone else noticed that every time @withwozney speaks publicly he invites @StephenMcNeil to discuss education and to work together to fix the system? Every time @StephenMcNeil speaks publicly he says teachers are happy, end of discussion... #delusional #nspoli #act4ed

Breakouts are a lot of fun! I know my students will love them. #breakoutedu #EDUC469T

Who would have thought you could link bowling to teaching so well? Time to make sure I don't end up with a 7-10 split but reach everyone instead! #EDUC469T

Looking forward to exploring the curriculum for 5-8 NS mathematics with some tech integration from @ChrisCocek! #EDUC469T

Building independence in students is part of a daily routine. It doesn't happen overnight and takes time. Many strategies are out there like "three before me" and ensuring students are using the resources in the classroom before asking the teacher. @maceachern72

Centres are a great way to engage students in hands on learning within the classroom. They can help reach students of all levels and be used for any subject! maceachern72

Planning with site based teams is an important step in the success of some students! Each member of the team brings a different skill set and information to the table in order to help build the best plan for each student. @maceachern72

Differentiated Instruction helps you reach every student in the room! Trying to think of the 3 P's when planning. It also helps keep thing interesting for everyone involved - who doesn't love that? @maceachern72

Gifted learners don't need more of the same, and being a gifted learner doesn't mean you're gifted at everything! We all need something a little different. @maceachern72

[Amy Laird @Mme_Laird]

Was reminded today of the importance of reaching all my students - at their levels. And to remember the importance of assessment that fits with each students program. Time to make sure my plans are lining up with these important things! @maceachern72
