Amazing Lesson Design Outline - Miguel Guhlin, this is a helpful resource based on research-based classroom strategies packed with lots of useful links. Great for anyone looking for something new in their teaching practice or those just starting out.

Disciplinary literacy - The way that a historian reads, writes and thinks is different to how a mathematician operates. Each subject context has different needs and requirements. It's useful to point this out and have students (and even teachers!) reflect on this.

🏠 In emotionally-safe classrooms we purposefully #teach students to control and regulate #stress from all sources, such as relationships, home environment, exclusion, "isms," workload, and intense emotions. #LeadInclusion #EdLeaders #Teachers #UDL #TeacherTwitter

@PremierScottMoe Totally up to you! Binding arbitration, put it in contract & bargain in good faith. This could have been over weeks ago. Instead you took false ads, spent money vilifying teachers, & refusing to bargain. About time you took responsibility for something in your life. #ISupportSTF

Another day, another email sent to the education minister, asking him kindly to do his job.

Have you written today?

@ddeswiage @JoshAKoza Those words by some burner account incite acts of violence in the form of self-harm. What would you do if someone you loved were encouraged to do that? Default to a vapid response that implies one’s weak?

[Heather Matichuk @_hmatichuk]

Please read! This is despicable! This is why we must have safe spaces in ALL of our schools because some of our most vulnerable kids are the target.

Great mental exercise to keep that ethical lens focused!

I went to a conference session on accessibility:

The presenter asked “ When designing content, who are you okay with excluding?” 😮

A powerful, reminder that embracing #Accessibility is a journey, and refusing to embark on it leaves behind countless shipmates. #AllMeansAll

Okay, today is a Very Exciting Day.

You are going to get tired of hearing this but I have a book coming out with @JHUPress in January of 2024! And now it has a cover! Almost like a real thing.

If AI ethicists need a doctorate in CS to be qualified to critique AI, then AI researchers need to have a doctorate in ethics/humanities/philosophy/HCI/etc. to be qualified to build AI.

Increasing chatter that Russians may blow up the Zaporizhzhia nuclear nuclear plant in coming days. God forbid, and remember that such a horrible crime would also leave blood on US hands for its timid reaction to the Kakhovka dam demolition. No condemnation & endless delays in acknowledging the perpetrator led Putin believe he could get away with even worse.

@drchickie @RpsTrafficTeamB @reginapolice It’s not getting mad at kids using cars. Many teenagers aren’t ripping around dangerously in cars on roads in a densely populated area and trashing property like it’s the city dump. Those few who are should be held accountable!

[Heather Matichuk @_hmatichuk]

@PatrickJMooney @RegPublicSchool You’re all wonderful and valuable to our learning. Also, is the photo of the porcupine a staff member? 😂

[Heather Matichuk @_hmatichuk]

@jenn_leach @OutdoorEnviroEd @BraunSchool That’s great! And I see the awesome @PatrickJMooney was there to guide the class through.

What a great first day activity in how we learn differently!

Today is a special day! Not only was Emily officially eligible to get the first dose of her vaccine 💉, she got the title of the first one in her age group to get one in Regina…maybe even the province (according to the nurse). 🙌 #stickittocovid #vaccinescauseadults

[Parent Teacher Home Visits @PTHVP]

Recent studies validate what home visit educators and families have known all along – home visits that focus on building authentic relationships and mutual trust significantly strengthen school-family relationships, improve teaching, and bolster student outcomes.
