Just an Alberta Teacher

@AdrianaLaGrange 99% of Alberta teachers have no confidence in your ability to lead our education system and you need to step down. #abed #ableg #abpoli #standforeducation

[𝐁𝐫𝐚𝐝 𝐉𝐨𝐡𝐧𝐬𝐨𝐧 @DrBradJohnson]

School districts and school leaders, from the many messages I receive daily, there are many teachers feeling not just burned out, but demoralized right now. Please make morale a priority.

What???
This is hugely concerning on a number of levels 👇

Why am I going to the education rally tomorrow? I'm standing up for my profession, for my students, for my teacher colleagues and for myself as a teacher. I need for this government, and for future governments to make sure Public Education is a priority. @albertateachers

[Duane Bratt🇨🇦 @DuaneBratt]

I thought based on Smith's comments at ATA forum that she would remove @AdrianaLaGrange from Education. This is not the case.

A look at how women's representation has changed from Notley to Smith. #ableg #abpoli

[Jason Markusoff @markusoff]

Smith named 26 cabinet ministers.
Four are women.

Siri, what's the opposite of gender parity?

Today was a big day! I finished prepping for next week’s committee simulation & my gr.11 students started their WWI diaries! A great way to head into the weekend! #iteachsocialstudies

This is big news. @theToddHirsch is a well respected economist, has travelled throughout the province giving speeches, and a great guy too.

.@AbDanielleSmith didn’t learn on TikTok that all AHS Covid decision were approved and enforced by Health Minister Tyler Shandro, whom she now appointed to be Justice Minister to strip the Human Rights Act of the Covid restrictions designed and implemented by him. #ableg #abpoli

[Joe Ceci @joececiyyc]

Of the 26 Ministers Danielle Smith named today, only four are women. She also downgraded the Associate Minister of the Status of Women to a Parliamentary Secretary role. #ableg

[Kelly Aleman @KellyAlemanRD]

Danielle Smith leaving @AdrianaLaGrange as education minister is a very clear message to Alberta teachers:

We don’t care to have a decent relationship with you, and get ready for more disrespect.

I hope teachers send a very clear message of their own tomorrow #abed #ableg

@AdrianaLaGrange Name ONE thing that UCP has done that will *actually* improve education for Alberta’s children in any way, shape, or form. It’s been 3.5 years of non-stop attacks on a world-class system (no thanks to UCP) and the educators who made it that way.

@WSOnlineNews Government of Alberta (including Premiers) do not have pardon power. https://t.co/jhchwzxp5w

I’m in Toronto where perception of Alberta uproar reminds me of a line from the Chesterton poem: “dim drums throbbing in the hills half heard.” #ableg #abpoli #cdnpoli #yyc #yeg #abucp

“Opportunities like this don’t come around all the time. In fact it might be our last, so we can’t let it slip away. I look forward to the work ahead and the chance to make a contribution to our province that will last generations.”

“This windfall presents an opportunity for us to use this money to address our immediate challenges and set us down the path of long-term prosperity.”
- @theToddHirsch

[Alberta NDP @albertaNDP]

Notley has asked Hirsch to consult with experts, develop a plan around these principles, and deliver a report outlining his advice by early next year.

[Alberta NDP @albertaNDP]

In addition, Notley is committed to saving and investing the majority of the windfall, addressing the affordability crisis, repairing the damage done to public services, building a more resilient economy, and getting the best return on the province’s investment.
