Mother, Teacher, Lover of Life Long Learning! In a constant state of mind shifting and renewing the spirit as I move forward in this wonderful journey of life.
It’s good when administrators assume that teachers want to be excellent in their job. It’s good when teachers assume that their students want to succeed in school. High expectations usually help others become the best version of themselves.
@BobWKHamilton why do I have to prove to CRA I am my child’s mother from 5 years ago FOR THE THIRD TIME. Why won’t you accept the proof I submitted as outlined BY YOU? Why do I have to go through this EVERY year? Why have I been reassessed 5 times in 4 years? ENOUGH. Fix the CRA.
This is the moment when teachers and administrators need to truly be practicing parent engagement if our kids are to succeed. Every child is going to need the support of everyone in the education circle to make this a great year!
Hey!! just teachers and students? what about those most impacted Parents...dont you think their feedback is important? ignore parent voice and feedback at your peril
Quote of the month from Dr. Thomas R. Frieden, former CDC director: "We're not reopening based on science. We're reopening based on politics, ideology, and public pressure. And I think it's going to end badly."
A3: if we can initiate conversations with a majority of parents and maintain those conversations through next year that has the potential to be transformative. We must capitalize on the parent engagement happening now. #HackLearning
We are not getting results by doing more of the same old thing. Systematic parent engagement has yet to be employed as a means of enhancing student achievement and other educational outcomes in our province. Yet it is supported by 50 years of research evidence.
So, wherever we are positioned in the educational system, “It’s our time to make a move, it’s our time to make amends, it’s our time to break the rules, so let’s begin! Hey hey hey, hey hey hey, living like were renegades!” @CDanyluk33@melissam_kinder@MrEricWalker@LoriOLeary6
@MartensKrista @DrDebbiePushor How do you use your voice when you are silenced? As a business owner, like I am, I am my own boss. As a teacher I answer to admin and the guidelines and policies of my school board. I can use my voice up until it’s told to be quiet. I can do things differently IF given permission
@MartensKrista Nothing in my mind. I think that’s acceptable. Others do not. As teachers we are in the middle between leadership and students and parents. Without support from above.......
