It might be too late for me to become an astronaut 👩‍🚀 but it is so interesting to hear about the @csa_asc 🇨🇦 and an upcoming mission from @Astro_Kutryk! AB student heading for the ultimate adventure! #NCTCA2025 #NCTCA25

Very much looking forward to digging into this book soon!

Amazing discussion with the authors of “Valley of the Birdtail” (Douglas Sanderson & Andrew Sniderman) A look at the uncomfortable truth of the past but also at how we should be “…responsible for the present and investing for the future” #NCTCA25 #NCTCA2025

Grateful to @connie_walker for sharing her story, her family’s stories, and for her ongoing work to share truth, as we work towards reconciliation. If you haven’t heard Missing and Murdered, do! #NCTCA2025 #NCTCA25 https://t.co/ly1ySpIbqB

Lovely opening keynote at #NCTCA25 Jessica Janzen made me cry, laugh and think. Ready to work on bringing the joy! #NCTCA2025

Teachers, it’s okay to have a lesson plan fall apart sometimes. Tacos fall apart and we still love them! 🌮🤣

Great session on “The Human Side of Unconscious Bias” at #NCTCA2024. That you for a presentation that was thoughtful, humourous and moving — and so important @TinaVarughese https://t.co/csB6zMO1aY

[Aileen @aileenpeterson]

Still guiding words of wisdom!

[Craig Bonikowsky @craigbonikowsky]

Love this example to go with video. Great visuals as well. We need to identify barriers for all of our learners.

Our guest at the #psd70 welcome is the powerful storyteller @TareqHadhad and @Peacebychoco - a tale of newcomers, resilience , purpose and the “return on kindness” - we take so much for granted in Canada. https://t.co/3gl3OZxa9n #psd70

[Aileen @aileenpeterson]

Leadership lessons for #psd70 from our Superintendent @shaubo and Ted Lasso. Be compassionate. Be curious.

[Aileen @aileenpeterson]

Here’s to our teacher besties, our mentors and supports - the ones we lean on, laugh and cry with - find your “marigold” #psd70 And be that person for someone else. https://t.co/ffMB1TGCIC

[Aileen @aileenpeterson]

Lucky to have great leaders in #PSD70 - our trustees, our senior leadership, our school leaders and all others who help to support all of us - and help us to remember that we do matters, and matters every day

[Aileen @aileenpeterson]

The “Welcome Back” is always a great start to a new school year at #psd70 Incredible energy in a room filled with dedicated staff ready to do their best for students & families.
