Think about all the ways you can tell that a child really needs to tell their story #edleadership #TeachersMatter

Exhausted? You're not alone. "We crawled into 2022 still carrying shock, trauma, grief..." - psychologist Naomi Holdt shared a beautifully written post about the stress of recent years - and how to make peace with however you feel today. https://t.co/xa0XNFgecu

@DrSunainaSharma @CanTeachMag Thanks for the emphasis on classrooms being “a place of learning”

How do you teach complex self-management lessons to someone who struggles to focus? Dr. Richard Zhao of @UofC_CPSC and fellow researcher Dr. Meadow Schroeder of @UCalgaryEduc say the solution may be found in video games: https://t.co/GhUfPFClQd

Novices are not just little experts that need filling up with more knowledge. Check out our sketchnote based on research that appears in @C_Hendrick & @P_A_Kirschner awesome book ‘How Learning Happens’.

Kick this school year off right by putting first things first. The old school "1st semester scare tactics" need to be retired. Focus instead on establishing classroom culture, norms, & relationships of trust that will endure beyond the school year. #edutwitter #BacktoSchool2022

@calgarygordons Fun photo, Christie. So good to see students on field trips again.

Thanks for providing the necessary context for these stats, the inequities are a concern. @philmcrae 👍

[Dr Pнıʟ McRαε @philmcrae]

Tutoring in Alberta, “learning loss” & growing inequity.

https://t.co/Sbn7bt0Het

19% of families hired a tutor

74% of tutored students were already academically strong with “A” (30%) or “B” letter grades (44%)

Accumulating academic advantage!

Alberta Populism
1) Don't just dismiss those who know; they often do
2) What’s the best research/evidence - Beware of trolls
3) Facts alone aren't enough:
Where do people live emotionally/psychologically?
4) The UCP want to divide & conquer
Think Doctors. Think Teachers! #abed

Consultation is not endorsement, and the consultation with this draft by just 100 teachers over two days (to look at hundreds of pages) was plagued with problems.

@dcpye @CBCEyeopener Great job @dcpye also kudos to your student for his contribution - such an articulate and creative learner.

A gentle reminder:

We learn to make good decisions when we practice making decisions.

We don’t learn to make good decisions by following directions.
