Science, math, and SpEd teacher in #sd61 ~
My goal is to foster curiosity, creativity, and a passion for learning (while having fun along the way!)

@sd61schools @shelleygreen61 #bced How does the Secondary School quarterly model accommodate our designated learners that usually receive academic support for multiple classes in a Learning Strategies block? Trying to wrap my head around how SpecEd fits into this.. 🧐

Return to School Update (August, 20th): We've been working hard on our Stage 2 Restart Framework. Our Superintendent is providing additional details about our proposed plans for September. https://t.co/SOXncRwwak #sd61learn #OneLearningCommunity

"But, the imperative to get students back into schools needs to be balanced with health and safety considerations in the context of how schools actually function. Based on what the government released today, their plan isn’t ready yet. It needs more work.” #bced #bcpoli

[BC Teachers’ Federation @bctf]

"The reopening needs to be safe, careful, and get the buy-in of teachers, support staff, parents, and students. If the plan is rushed or too many questions are left unanswered, it won’t be successful.

As a new teacher, I feel truly lucky that #sd61 current class size limit is 25. I love going to work every day. Increasing class size will reduce individualized student support, as well as teacher morale. The BCSPEA proposal is a big step back for education #cantgoback #bced

Learning @Minecraft with middle schoolers in #edci337 ...more like #minebarf... how do I engage students if I'm dying of motion sickness?

How to create a supportive community: wear hats when a pal is worried about a bald spot after a minor procedure! I love my cohort! #edci336
