“Language is tied to identity. You don't have to give up your identity of who you are in order to learn English,” says newcomers teacher Efraín Tovar. See how this educator supports newcomer students’ English proficiency—along with their sense of belonging and identity.

Mornin' @JustinTrudeau. As you meet with premiers on healthcare, know that, as a tax-payer, I want strings attached to the $$ they receive. I want open reporting on what they $$ is being spent on. And I want it made clear that none of my tax $$ go to private anything. #Strings

To the librarian who suggested that you turn @Ozobot codes into labels so that younger students could be more successful you are a genius! I don’t remember who you are but I am forever in your debt! #HourOfCode #mischoollibrary #tlchat

CUPE members in Ontario, your fight is our fight! Unions across Canada supported us in our battle to protect Charter rights and now we are here for you.

Our Rep Assembly just voted to send you $1million so you don’t have to back down. @CUPEOntario @osbcucscso #onted #cdnpoli

I spoke with national union leaders this morning about the Ontario government’s inappropriate preemptive use of the notwithstanding clause, which undermines the fundamental rights and freedoms of workers. Our government stands firmly with our country’s workers.

These 3 practices were core to my instruction when I taught MLs social studies. They made all the difference.

This is a banner with names of children who died at residential schools. It is so long, it takes about three dozen people to march it.

Every semester, at least a few colleagues express anxiety about student participation. I always suggest reframing the issue to honor multiple forms of engagement: how can we invite students to engage in ways that are accessible to them?

Here are some examples from my courses.

Utterly inspired by @MrSchuReads book, This Is A School, to set up a book display & prompt that will hopefully inspire students to think about what makes a school a school, and what makes their school a great place to be. Let’s see what they say! #ONSchoolLibraries

[John Schu @MrSchuReads]

I'm giving away 30 signed copies of This Is a School for a classroom teacher or teacher-librarian to give away to students on the first day of school. RT before 7/20 at 11:00 p.m. CDT to enter the drawing. https://t.co/3pUbVaAF9s

We need heat temperature limits in schools. No one can work or learn in these challenging conditions. Year after year the suffering remains the same. @ETFOPeel @PeelSchools #ontlabour #heatwave #coolschools #onted
