For years, topics with “stigma” around them have been shut out of Ontario school curriculum. Well Teach our Teens has decided to change that. Read our full press release to find out what we’re doing and access our resources. https://t.co/KpEGjXkdGa #ontarioeducation#canadanews
INTRODUCING TEACH OUR TEENS! We are a nonprofit education project curated by Canadian youth activists with the hope of sparking change in the classroom. We create educational resources for teachers to cover difficult topics in the classroom. Stay tuned for updates about lessons
Today, on Remembrance Day, we honour those who served and sacrificed for our country. The O’Neill CVI Chamber Choir has prepared a special performance to mark this occasion. It can be viewed here: https://t.co/cZfljN1aRP
Finished reading Wolfpack today. @AbbyWambach delivering wisdom for the leaders of @sirsamps. Our class discussions were thoughtful and engaging. Next step: writing their thoughts on what makes a great leader.
Gr.8 students are practicing their listening skills while I read #Wolfpack by @AbbyWambach. They take notes on what they’re thinking throughout and then we discuss! One of the highs in my day! Why not try a #highlowcheer family chat at dinner tonight! #youthleadership 📚🏳️🌈⚽️
Tomorrow is Orange Shirt Day. Please wear an orange shirt and take time to commemorate and recognize Residential School Survivors. https://t.co/GUIhEuPGZc
@DDSB_English Love this! Thank you. Check out @atpblogforteens for an example of teenagers who have done just what is outlined in this resource. 6 students from @ONeillCVIOshawa started it during the pandemic and now they have 21 writers from across Ontario!
Hey @sirsamps just a reminder, that every day you attend school to please perform a self-assessment and screening. Use the graphic below to assist! Thanks for doing your part in keeping all of our students & staff safe! @DurhamDSB
📣Fellow educators - Help me get these kids some Twitter love!! Started by a group of teens from @ONeillCVIOshawa, they’ve expanded to include teens from across Ontario. Check out their new website and give them a follow! #proudteacher#proudmom
Excited that many of our @DurhamDSB Educators are digging into The First 20 Days (and Beyond) Guide today as they focus on promoting student mental health for #backtoschool. Check it out here: https://t.co/bCh67hqFMV
Note to teachers when thinking about engaging in Anti-Black Racism Education: Just try. Take a step. Trust me, it won’t hurt as much as the pain they already feel or will eventually feel once they leave school and get into the so-called “real world” of today. #AntiRacistEducator
