[Dr. Robyn Michaud @GiwedinAnangKwe]

The Indian Act made First Nations ppl give up status in order to attend uni. Residential schooling was so poor it often led to a Grade 3 education. They never wanted us to be in any positions of power. So many of us fought hard to change this.

History now repeats itself.

We asked teachers what tiny shifts made a difference in their classroom—and their answers surprised us. Just a few words can have a positive impact! 🧡

Here are 5 Tiny Language Shifts (that can make a *big* difference)

You've heard of Rosenshine's principles of instruction.

You wonder if there is any *research* behind these ideas.

@inner_drive has an answer: YUP!

Check out this blog post for their thoughtful exploration.

Question of the day 09.09.2023

Solution: https://t.co/hlblgpuHWu

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

Comparison is not the thief of joy. Envy is.

Resenting others' success breeds misery and rivalry. Admiring their success brings motivation and learning.

We all compare ourselves to others. A key to growth and happiness is focusing our comparisons on people who inspire us.

[Aleda Klassen @aledaklassen]

Here are 4 sketchnotes of the 4 toolkits from @pgliljedahl's #thinkingclassroom.

These versions now have a better citation of the book.

I hope they inspire discussion about how to make learning more accessible to more students!

The earlier kids get smartphones, the worse their mental health as adults.

New study, 27k+ ppl: owning a smartphone younger predicts lower self-worth, motivation & resilience—and more sadness, anxiety & aggression—especially for girls.

Smartphones should wait until high school.
