I am very excited to share this resource with teachers and leaders of @EvergreenCSSD Ten Days of Truth THEN Reconciliation, is a K-12 resource designed like a calendar, giving one idea, activity, video, or resource a day for each day leading up to September 30th.

Children cannot be forced to "calm down". They aren't choosing to be hyper/hypoaroused any more than they can choose to calm down when they don't know how. #SelfReg gives them the tools and skills to do that.

Here’s what I know to be true: If the big people aren’t ok, the little people don’t stand a chance.

So, drop those shoulders. Don’t miss the moments meant to fill your souls. You deserve every nap, glass of wine, extra chapter on a lawn-chair that you can put together.

Beware the narrative of “learning loss”. Will there be an impact of learning through a pandemic on students? You bet! Appropriately funded, locally developed responses will be key to addressing this equitably for all students.

It is that time of year again! Just a friendly reminder for class placements to be the one who presumes competence and give ALL students an opportunity to learn in ANY classroom #scienceisfun #evenifyouhaveadisabilty #eveninsecondary #especiallyinsecondary

What is this government reinforcing for kids? Complain enough and you’ll get your way. It’s up to the adults in their lives more than ever to model empathy and patience in times like these...

[Brittney MacDonald @b_glins]

Now more than ever... Lets talk, let’s end the stigma. I am listening! #BellLetsTalk

Are you an Alberta teacher or administrator who is interested in learning more about literacy and what science says about literacy acquisition? Please join the learning conversation on FB (https://t.co/U63CvbMaZ1 - be sure to answer the questions so we know who you are). #abed

Today grade 5 had a challenge. If you had one Tweet that the entire world could read, what would you say?

This thread shows those tweets!

I don't think everyone in the world will read them, but with some retweets maybe a large number will?

We have to care about them as children before we worry about them as students.

[South Simcoe Police @SouthSimcoePS]

Today we paid tribute to Sgt. Andrew Harnett of @CalgaryPolice as his family, friends and colleagues gathered to say a heartbreaking farewell. We will always remember his sacrifice.
