I am preparing a workshop for Edmonton teachers next week, and I am re-reading Tom Newkirk's brilliant book, Embarrassment, for inspiration. I love this passage from literary critic, Sven Birkerts: @HeinemannPub
Dear Min @AdrianaLaGrange. This is our 7 yo non-verbal daughter interacting with her EA last wk from home. Her EA modifies class work to allow her to keep up with community school peers. Your announcement today to end EA support is devastating for our family and others.
I am deeply concerned and worried about education in Alberta after today's announcement by government. There is great need for support staff to assist in the continuity of education. Creating more chaos in our education system through lay offs is unwise. /1 @albertateachers
Less than two weeks ago, the UCP promised they would not cut education funding during this pandemic. Today, they broke that promise. Watch Minister LaGrange on March 15th promising not to do the very thing she did today. #ableg#abed
Pam Adams, David Townsend, and Carmen Mombourquette doing edits to Generative Leadership in Education book. This book should be available in January of 2020. Will keep Twitter followers updated on progress.
