I think a lot about the messages we share with students at their graduations ceremonies. This one is particularly moving.

Hey @s_guilbeault, we need a strong single-use plastic (SUP) ban to #BeatPlasticPollution:
1⃣ Expand the ban list 🥤
2⃣ Stop the export of SUP🚢
3⃣ Enforce the ban this year 🕐
4⃣ Don't let flimsy SUPs be replaced by more durable throwaway plastic 🍴🛍️

Debunking the myth of ‘discovery math’. The mathematics curriculum includes a "balanced approach" ... there is no "discovery approach". This is worth watching https://t.co/DRztI0aXfY … ... Dr. Suurtamm @pi_lab is a leader in math curriculum and assessment

One key strategy is helping #parents understand that kids have to face their fears. Sometimes parents help their children avoid anxiety-provoking situations because they're worried it's too much for the child https://t.co/pjp5mzyoRR #edchat #anxiety #parenting #mentalhealth
