Peter Seixas, one of my greatest mentors and a dear friend, passed away earlier this week. Working with him for six years on The Historical Thinking Project was a career highlight. His work changed the way history is taught and understood. I will forever cherish his friendship.

@ls_gibson @cpeck3 @heather_e_mcg Peter was such a special person. Working with him for 6 years on The Historical Thinking Project was a career and personal highlight. Will miss him terribly but I’m happy that he finally gets to rest. Photos from Sea to Sky Gondola trip with Peter and Susan.

Highly recommend Robin Diangelo’s book ‘White Fragility.’ Using this in our book club at Lester B. Pearson PS in Waterloo but an important read for any workplace.

When I generated critical questions to drive my history courses all my students began to love the subject!

After reading “Stuck” the children were asked to put themselves in Floyd’s shoes. If you were Floyd, how would you use the shapes to retrieve your kite from the tree instead of throwing more things at your growing problem?

I love how people complain that teachers get too many breaks. Yet, all of you, including me, either can’t wait for the breaks to end or we throw them in camps when they are home. And that’s with 1-4 kids. Imagine having 34. Enjoy your March Break teachers.
