Motherhood should never be a barrier to participation. Incredibly grateful that I’m able to be a mother and sit on the @saskteachersfed Executive. Members, please know that there is a baby room available for you to use when you are doing federation work. #allbabieswelcome

[Dr. Bryan Pearlman #MaslowBeforeBloom @DrP_Principal]

When I was a building principal, we had a group of boys who were consistently getting office referrals during lunch for aggressive and disruptive behaviors. In the past, these behaviors had led to increasingly severe consequences that did not reduce the negative behaviors (and caused some students to be sent home and to miss instruction). I sat down with the group and we worked together to come up with a plan on what to do during lunch. One of the boys asked if we could start a knitting club, since his Auntie had recently taught him how to knit. Since he was a leader of the group, the other boys agreed. I asked them to come back tomorrow with some ideas of what to knit. The next day one of the boys said that he wanted to knit little hats for the preemies at the hospital, since his little cousin was there and that a nurse mentioned that they had run out of the little hats. The boys knitted daily and we delivered the hats to the hospital. We received many heartfelt thank you notes from families, nurses and doctors (and even an in-person visit with a personal thank you and cookies from a newborn's mom). This group continued to grow as did our ability to create knitted hats for preemies. This became a huge success for the participating students. There was significant improvement in the students’ behavior, attitude, achievement, and attendance. It is so important to think outside of the box for “win-win” solutions. It really isn’t the WHAT you do that is important, it is the WHY you are doing it! Our knitting group become a team, family, and community.

With Ramadan beginning tomorrow, @RPSTA teacher Aysha Yaqoob shares that while Ramadan is often associated with fasting, it is more than that. A big part of it is giving back, eating in the community & practicing self-discipline. #HappyRamadan

@courosa Seek to establish a collaborative classroom environment. Once students feel they have ownership over their choices, they continuously raise the bar.

Extremely disappointed with CTV. This is so unjust, she is one of the very best. Lisa LaFlamme removed as CTV National News anchor: ‘I was blindsided’ https://t.co/YQ9PeaPctp
