The new parental inclusion and consent policies are dangerous and a threat to the safety and well-being of students.

The Federation is calling on the government to reverse this policy decision and engage in meaningful consultation with its sector partners and expert teachers.

Well, I just posted my last #EDTC300 blog! It's been a fantastic semester and I've loved every opportunity it's brought for me. Thank you to all my classmates for their contributions and I hope you all enjoy my final blog: https://t.co/aDd8X7qEwe

@EDUZumstein One of the most creative videos I've seen. You did such an amazing job on your project Marcus!

@sunaina_batra_6 This is such a beautiful visual as well as a great philosophy to have!

[Ava Viczko @AvaViczko]

@sgwinterholt This is so cool, I've never seen a book vending machine before!

[Ava Viczko @AvaViczko]

@DeannaGallipeau This looks like so much fun with the visual aids! I bet they had so much fun with it 😀

[Ava Viczko @AvaViczko]

@sunaina_batra_6 This is such a wonderful resource Sunaina! It's always nice to have a nice visual ad. What age group was this for?

Have you ever tried including open-ended questions in your math instruction?

@Dean_of_math @mssackstein I’ve always like this quote about relevant learning: “if you want to build a ship, don't drum up the men to gather wood, divide the work and give orders. Instead, teach them to yearn for the vast and endless sea.”-Antoine de Saint Exupery

[Ava Viczko @AvaViczko]

Super great read! I really like what they said about how children model their stress after adults. It’s important that we change our tone around math and don’t dismiss it as an unlearn-able skill. Nobody is born being able to do math better than someone else #edtc300 #edutwitter

[EdSurge @EdSurge]

EdSurge caught up with cognitive scientist Sian Beilock, author of books “Choke” and “How the Body Knows Its Mind,” to talk about how anxiety can impact students’ math performance. #learningresearch #studentsuccess https://t.co/tg3a1a4ZDW

@jozelle_sumat Wow! That’s so amazing Jozelle 🤩🤩

“Similar to art, mathematics is multi-faceted in its contributions to our world.” It’s unfortunate that many students don’t learn the benefits of math until well into university. This article suggests some great ways to rethink how we teach math! #edtc300 #edutwitter #mathed

@elijahssong Oooo thank you for sharing Robyn! I’ll definitely be giving it a read 👍🏼

[Ava Viczko @AvaViczko]

This is such an interesting way to get students listening and engaged! I definitely see this as a great way for students to critically engage with their lessons and not just listen to their teacher for an hour #edtc300 #edutwitter

@tmckinnonnn I've also tried to keep this in mind while coaching! Sometimes not every drill goes as planned, but I try to remind myself that even a failed drill teaches me something about the team. Thanks for sharing!

[Melissa D @Dean_of_math]

Fav moment of class today: “Mrs Dean, can I do this? Is this mathematically possible?”

Me: what do you think that would mean?

This is the playful convo I strive for.

"In this way, embracing what students love, and honoring that their deep engagement with soccer is a literacy they have mastered, can act as an entry point into the very conversations that culturally responsive teaching aims to facilitate."
