As I have been teaching online for a number of years now, I thought it might be useful to share some of my principles for active engagement. See more: https://t.co/CaEfdeeE2r

Parents and guardians, thank you for your patience and understanding as we have adjusted to distance learning. Together, we will continue to connect and collaborate to ensure student success. Please watch for further feedback opportunities.

[HWDSB @HWDSB]

To all @HWDSB students – thank you for constantly inspiring us with your hard work. By remaining engaged with us as we moved to distance learning and through your contributions to help our community, we have seen your kindness and desire to continue to create and learn!

It's Education Week in Ontario! This year's event takes on special significance as we continue to work in the remote teaching & learning environment. The week is a special celebration of our students, teachers, support staff, board personnel & school communities.

Take a minute. Read each book title out loud, starting at the upper left. It took a librarian to do this!

Absolutely no one is an expert in remote learning.

Be humble enough to take advice and learn from others.

Be brave enough to try something and go for it.

What matters most is that we are there for our kids, stay positive for them, and that we keep going.

Reframe the behaviour

[Jackie Johnson @jjohnsonhwdsb]

Taking time to recognize how this pandemic may cause stress and unease in children. Having the trusted, familiar ,calming influence of an educator is invaluable. Even when this relationship happens virtually. Thank you educators for all that you do.

[TeacherGoals @teachergoals]

Students need stability.

Students need reassurance that everything will be ok.

Students need a caring adult. 🧡
