Teacher. Learner. Come for the discussions on Personalized Learning and Social Studies education. Stick around for the rugby talk.

@myrondueck @roselmleblanc Still waiting!

@myrondueck @roselmleblanc (I had to get a second copy of that one, too!... not @roselmleblanc doings that time, though!)

[Jon Wilson @BigTentLearning]

@myrondueck @roselmleblanc What a great treat for a Friday! I am looking forward to finding some gems like I did in “Grading Smarter. Not Harder”. The chapter on unit planning changed the game for me and my students.

[Jon Wilson @BigTentLearning]

@jemflower1 Congrats, Amber. I’m looking forward to see the successes from you and your team!

Are you a #teacher in #NewBrunswick? Are you interested in sharing your experiences with teaching during #Covid19? @RogersM011 & I are engaging in a project on #Pandemic education reforms & their impacts on teachers. D/M or email for more information!

What an engaging morning @cncs_huskies in Cambridge Narrows! Such a welcoming, warm, student-focused school. And how about their view!?

[Jon Wilson @BigTentLearning]

Progress in New Brunswick worth celebrating: from 2015 to 2018 we went from one of the highest Low Income rates in the country to one of the lowest. Work left to do, but this is positive!

[Trevor Tombe @trevortombe]

Today's data: income and poverty measures for 2018! https://t.co/PfqSi5OgkG

Large reductions over past few years. Now 8.7%, down from 9.5% in 2017 and 12.1% in 2015. Largest reductions in BC and NB, and lowest overall rate still in AB. #cdnecon

Graham is chipping away at the erased histories of Black loyalists in New Brunswick. What a great resource for our province (and eager to share in schools!).

An historian is working on an exhibit about a slave who took her fight to the N.B. court system 220 years ago.

So many are up are bothered by Indigenous land protectors and protesters because it forces us to acknowledge that gap between “Canada the Benevolent” and the horrors on of colonialism.

[Jon Wilson @BigTentLearning]

I had a great chat with teachers today on the gap between Heritage and History in Canada. When we are emotionally bound to the former, we do a disservice to the latter. Often causing great harm. We have a responsibility to teach our students how to find and expose hard truths.

[Sean Carleton @SeanCarleton]

Those Canadians angered + frustrated by #ShutCanadaDown actions should really direct that anger + frustration at the root cause: Canada's continued + wilful support of mis-education about Indigenous-settler relations; ignorance facilitates colonial injustice in Canada.

[Jon Wilson @BigTentLearning]

@SeanCarleton I agree. Adding that we are, today, watching indigenous youth across the country showing courage and commitment most of us could not fathom.

[Jon Wilson @BigTentLearning]

Teachers across @ASD_West : We want to shine a spotlight on your successes in Personalized Learning! What Personalized approaches are helping your students shine? What super-teachers in your building deserve to be celebrated? #studentvoice #personalizedlearning

[Jon Wilson @BigTentLearning]

@NatCCor @nasismiddle One clear sign that you have created a culture of learning and of trust. Bien fait, Mme. Cormier!

[Jon Wilson @BigTentLearning]

@cultofpedagogy @wesward77 @JimGrandi @gregwim Hearing this interview for the first time two years ago changed my perspective on transformative change in small spaces. I come back to it regularly. Thank you for another boost!

[Jon Wilson @BigTentLearning]

I had the privilege of spending my afternoon @oromoctohsblues with Social Studies and Fine Arts teachers. OHS is a real leader in empowering students through Personalization. What would success look like for their students?

[Jon Wilson @BigTentLearning]

@CommKr8veWriter Thank you for this! cc @homeonSaunders @mrpearsonmath

[Jon Wilson @BigTentLearning]

@homeonSaunders I hope they teach you as much as they taught me!

[Jon Wilson @BigTentLearning]

@ls_gibson I just finished raving about the versatility of the cards and their value in a classroom. Looking forward to the next set!
