Best thread I’ve read in a while!

[Tyler Rablin @Mr_Rablin]

I've given a survey to now thousands of kids in multiple districts that have asked me to work with them around assessment and grading.

Here are the questions:
1. Do grades help you learn?
2. How do grades make you feel?
3. Why do teachers give grades?

A thread...

THIS IS IMPORTANT.

Teachers — please go out of your way to befriend OTs, LTOs, new teachers in the building.

During lunch, invite us to a physically distanced meet in the yard / playground. Zoom us from the next room. Set a coffee date in a Tims parking lot.

It’s always deeply lonely being new.

My only summer school wish: for D2L to work with my ipad/pencil for marking the way GC does. Just not the same...

This. Our words have power, especially on young minds.

1/ A dance teacher’s end of year well wishes to Ss “have a great summer, enjoy the pool & cottage”. Eg. of the things teachers say that exclude. My grand daughter does not have a pool or cottage & immediately felt excluded.The ‘work’ is also being aware of the things that r said

Read the entire thread. Very very important to understand during this time.

I have been doing optional class calls with my ENG4U class for three weeks. Every Weds for 1 hour, noon-1pm. I set this up at the request of a student who needed more connection to stay engaged. No problem! I was happy to do it. /1 #onted

Teachers: We need to listen.

THIS is important.

I phoned the parent of a home instruction student to schedule a drop off of a computer. I started the convo by asking, “How are you? Are you doing ok?” She started to cry as she shared her family’s challenges and I began to cry with her.

@coljmackay @phinney35 According to the Financial Accountablilty Office of Ontario (https://t.co/pE0RRrptur), that 80% figure includes compensation of all jobs associated with education including superintendents, principals, directors, and consultants.
The actual percentage for teachers is 48%.

This is quite ridiculous @TimHortons... bought a 20 pack and one was TINY (see one in hand). Another had a complete HOLE in it. I barely go in to your shops anymore and this fuels that feeling... #TimHortons #goingdownhill #terrible #timbits
