Thank you @KristaKoeks and Jasmine Grainger ‘16 for an engaging and thoughtful Gr. 12 Post-Secondary/Uni/College Transition session this morning. Hearing from our alum is so key! #academicsupport #nextsteps #learnTCS #grads
Love seeing student art from our @TCSBears Visual Arts classes on the walls. #makinglearningvisible #learntcs
The teacher as instructional coach is needed now more than ever. https://t.co/j9W7UoOcOy #education #edchat
The quantitative and qualitative data in this principal’s research on assessment is invaluable. A worthwhile read. #assessment #academicsupport #learnTCS #whydowegrade
Teachers' different approaches to #grading can undermine a faculty's efforts to be aligned, sending confusing messages about learning & impacting students' grades, promotion rates, their beliefs about school, and even their self-image @JoeCFeldman https://t.co/Actz74SJCN #edchat
The Learning Support networking event @BishopStrachan was fantastic, TY Natasha, Laura, & Caitlin for organizing & kudos to @rachpears0n & @MsFickel for taking the time to present a fun & engaging workshop on Learning Strategies 👍👌 #learnTCS #academicsupport @CISOntario
To what degree are these 7 skills informing our lesson plans on Sunday afternoon?? #edchat #learntcs #cohort21 @NicholaBendle @sstraughan1 @MrsGanley
Students inform what is missing in today's prep for college: "More time writing!... Research skills... time management... Learning to work with other students in study groups." @DrTonyWagner #learnleadtech #DeepLearning

Good article on assessment to get us back into the swing after March Break—Straight to the Source:
Student self-assessment of learning skills and work habits https://t.co/2JVpDEVlPI #learntcs
An excellent and thorough piece that covers a broad range of the research about what positively impacts student learning, and a mantra about Growth Mindset is not the answer. Worth the read from start to finish. #learnTCS
A generation of schoolchildren is being exhorted to believe in their brain’s elasticity. Does it really help them learn? Last week’s most read: https://t.co/qWxSlKz0Vf @C_Hendrick
Has creativity education been lost at the expense of doing well on tests in order to get into university? @SirKenRobinson #cohort21 #learntcs #edchat
Join the movement. Be the change. It could hardly matter more for our children. https://t.co/coyesSRbHQ
An excellent discussion on the efficacy of Scaffolding in #teaching: "For many people, interdependence is valued at least as much as independence" -- Alfie Kohn #learntcs #cohort21 #TLC180Days

@CarolJago Excerpts allow for more variety, choice for students, levelled assessment, mentor texts, and equity. What students deserve are texts that speak to them and their experience @pennykittle #engchat #edchat #learntcs #cohort21 #TLC180Days
Day 1 of great @pennykittle conference at #TLC180Days #toonsquad #learntcs @AndreaMathieson. Big takeaway: increase writing and reading volume. Decrease evaluation. Use @Flipgrid to connect readers.
Awesome example of time well spent on a snow day! Best part: using a toilet flush to get the ball rolling. #creativity #cohort21 #learntcs
This is incredible! �
Are you an #english teacher looking for ideas on how to increase student output and #assess more and #evaluate less? This thread is fantastic #engchat @ncte #cohort21 @NicholaBendle @MrsGanley @echellew17 #lcslearns #learntcs
Question Thread: #Grading, #Assessing, #Feedback on 9-12 ELA essays.
How do we balance writing for students & teachers, so students write a lot AND THEIR HEARTS OUT and teachers are not grading ALL THE TIME, but providing GREAT FEEDBACK? Ideas, @ncte #ELAchat #APLitchat #sblchat
Using a best draft vs final draft in the #feedback loop is key to sustained progression in writing growth. #cohort21 @ncte #engchat #learntcs @MrsGanley @NicholaBendle @AndreaMathieson #180days @pennykittle @KellyGToGo
