I want to share this Bitmoji classroom I created for an AQ course I am taking! It is so important to create a learning environment where learners see themselves and their backgrounds/ cultures reflected in their learning space <3

"Action research is a strategy teachers can use to investigate a problem or area of interest specific to their professional context. It provides the structure to engage in a planned systematic and documented process of professional growth." - The Alberta Teachers' Association

I taught my first lesson today in my new placement on Financial Literacy! It feels great to inspire and empower young minds to learn how to be smart with their money and build good financial habits!

Assessment is more effective and insightful when we assess the learning process and strategies of our students rather than the learning outcomes or products they provide. #growingsuccess

The #LearningCrisis is a global challenge that we MUST overcome. Every child deserves the opportunity to learn and have a brighter future.

This #EducationDay, let's call for policies that prioritize Foundational Learning and ensure that #EveryChildCanRead. #LeadingSDG4

"Essentially research is nothing but a state of mind, a friendly, welcoming attitude towards change." - Charles Kettering on Teacher Inquiry -
-Teacher inquiry has the ultimate goal of creating more equitable classrooms, it places us in charge of our own growth and development.

I wanted to share this mindmap I made for my Integration Through Arts class! It is so important to pair art with different curriculum expectations and discover new, engaging and fun ways for learning! Art is everywhere <3

So today my grandma worked on typing in Whatsapp, specifically how to touch the mini keyboard and identify letters that are known to her & record an audio message to send. The touch feature has been a work in progress but has highly improved! #letsteachadults @YEPeducation

[Ms. Pathak @heymspathak]

This week I taught my grandmother how to switch back and forth between the caller list and chat list on whatsapp and how to access chats and return back to the list. @YEPeducation #letsteachparents

[Ms. Pathak @heymspathak]

This week, my grandmother and I went through the chatting feature on Whatsapp. She cannot type but I taught her how to view videos/ text people send her and go back to the caller list subsection. She needs to practise but I am proud of her progress! @YEPeducation #letsteachadults

[Ms. Pathak @heymspathak]

This week I printed out sheets of the WhatsApp screen, labelled in red got my father to write in Hindi for my grandma to keep as a reference. We focused much of our lesson on getting her more comfortable with using the touch screen and aud/vid call @YEPeducation #letsteachadults

[Ms. Pathak @heymspathak]

Me and my grandma had our first lesson earlier this week. Her head starts to spin when the lesson gets complicated so we are going slow and steady so she is able to learn at a comfortable pace! She now can unlock the phone and access WhatsApp! #letsteachadults @YEPeducation

[Ms. Pathak @heymspathak]

Today I met with my grandmother and I taught her how to charge her new smartphone and we added her fingerprint! She wants to learn how to video call first; our biggest challenge is she does not speak English but I'm sure we can achieve her goals #Letsteachadults @YEPeducation

[Ms. Pathak @heymspathak]

We discussed Social Media for our last lesson! This is an important one because we are all relying on SM to stay connected but here’s a guide in how to use platforms in a healthy manner for yourself! My sister found it to be a helpful lesson :) #letsteachadults @YEPeducation

[Ms. Pathak @heymspathak]

@Upracticum @YEPeducation Wow this is really interesting! I love the way you wrote out instructions! This fabric looks amazing :))
