I have never heard a more inspiring, resilient, empathetic, adventurous, caring individual as Laval St Germaine. There was not a dry eye in the audience. You left us with so much to think about. Thank you for opening our eyes and hearts 🙏🏼 ❤️@lavalstgermain@albertaHPEC
Way to go SGCHS Panthers! Super proud of these girls. Third at the Mike Dea Tournament - an unreal tournament and a perfect way to start the season. @sgchspsd
A great article by Malcolm Gladwell @Gladwell to support the need to re-imagine school sport! A Modest Proposal to Fix High School Sports | Meta Bulletin - we couldn’t agree more! https://t.co/lq1l4vo33c
Let the excitement begin! Mission Impossible at @ngpsoes working on stealth, speed, balance, agility and all thing locomotor! We love physical activity ❤️

@JoeyFeith Thank you for sharing this - I needed to hear this, as I’m sure other educators did too. I respect your authenticity, vulnerability, and commitment to your health and family. I look forward to following your journey (and learning from you, as always!).
Grateful I preordered Relax Dammit! by the amazing Tim Caulfield. I highly recommend it. @CaulfieldTim I wish the section ‘wash your hands’ could have been published and passed out to every single person one year ago! #lovethisbook#debunkthemyths#researchbaseddecisionsonly
When a student misbehaves, take recess away.
When a student doesn't understand fractions, take the manipulatives away.
When a student struggles to read, take the books away.
Makes sense, right?
Wrong. We add support rather than take something away.
Intervention!
This year, National School Safety Week (October 17-23) emphasizes the importance of being safe in the digital age. Keep your kids safe online with open communication, a trusting relationship & by being alert to signs of distress. @CanadaSafetyCSC
Recess, Recess, Recess. More than ever we need to focus on wellbeing. A good article by Lauren McNamara and Pasi Sahlberg: Kids will need recess when returning to school post #COVID19AB. https://t.co/COsYBucJBp @ABschoolcouncil@CASSalberta#abed
