@kmueller9395@UCalgaryEduc Being fortunate to have had you as a professor and mentor for both my first and second degrees, I can proudly and honestly say nobody else is as deserving as you!
I was so excited for today! No Leprechaun traps or giggles today at school, but I really hope my grade 1s were able to catch some at home! ππ #imissthem https://t.co/tHE6HYd4rj
@Jon_Beckett@jthill@JessicaSchovan1@Cchapin85#dk12 In my field experience, one teacher interviews friends on face-time for a newspaper article. One works for NASA, another is an animator, one is in Europe to play hockey. Pretty cool idea.
@Jon_Beckett@Cchapin85@JessicaSchovan1#dtk12 Agreed Jon. As a new teacher, I am sure our admin and group teachers would be willing to help us out. Unless I somewhat knew the person coming into my classroom, or they were recommended, I would feel hesitant having them come in to speak.
@KellyPotiuk#dtk12 Thanks Kelly. It would be great to work at the same school as our current mentor teachers. As first year teachers, we'll be busy. Working with our grade group can hopefully ease some anxiety.
@JessicaSchovan1@Jon_Beckett#dtk12 I have heard of some schools in my area that do have to 'vet' the experts before they come in due to past unfortunate experiences.
@AcademicAdvisn#dtk12 Thank you Wendy. Among the many benefits to collaborating with colleagues is building a sense of community - as a new teacher, having a supportive community inside the school is so important.
@JessicaSchovan1 Great question! I was in a Connecting & Contributing class for my field. Radical collaboration happened between the teacher, many partners within the Town of Strathmore, other teachers. There was collaboration for every class! Lots of work - worth it! #dtk12
@MOnespot This made my heart smile. It's very smart as well - people like being complimented and as a new teacher, peer connections are important. Thank you!
