Five years ago today I joined a group of teachers playing drop-in style Volleyball so I could learn a new sport. Tomorrow I coach my first high school Volleyball game. I’m super excited!

[Samantha Humphreys @MmeHumphreys]

Interesting opportunity. Curious as to why members who identify as part of the LGBTQ2S+ community would not be included as a demographic in these subsidies? @ONeducation @Sflecce

[Samantha Humphreys @MmeHumphreys]

Would love to teach math at some point in High school. Really excited about these changes and a more inclusive math program.

Okay let's explore the new Ontario Grade 9 Destreamed math curriculum (MTH1W), shall we?

Quick facts:
- the new curriculum has 3 more overall expectations but the same number of specific expectations compared to 2005
- the strands align with the 2020 Grades 1-8 curriculum

@natasha_challo And to the others who contributed, way too many to name but deserving of equal thanks!

[Samantha Humphreys @MmeHumphreys]

Representation Matters! Some students got excited about the showdown des chansons that featured two artists from the LGBTQ2S+ community today. Thanks ⁦@natasha_challo⁩ for sharing resources featuring BIPOC that I confidently use in my French program. https://t.co/fBs2w6SGyA

[Samantha Humphreys @MmeHumphreys]

@natasha_challo I have been using these resources all semester, there’s always something that can be incorporated into the current unit or topic we’re learning and you’ve made it so accessible to use resources that I am confident about using. Thanks again for all your hard work.

[Samantha Humphreys @MmeHumphreys]

@natasha_challo Thanks for sharing that other site! I’m actually just perusing it now on my lunch and there are some great resources here too! We did Roi by Bilal Hassani and Entre Nous by Lycinaïs Jean today.

[Samantha Humphreys @MmeHumphreys]

A fellow educator and friend shared tris resource with me. It’s available in English and French. Tons of resources on their site. Thanks @projectofheart for your resources!

[Project of Heart @projectofheart]

Educators: are you ready to teach the truth about the Kamloops IRS and Canada's residential school era? Project of Heart is ready to help https://t.co/a9EnvVjbOo

[Samantha Humphreys @MmeHumphreys]

We used this activity as inspiration and we learned 20 different ways to answer “comment ça va?” in French. Then students prepared their own slides to present this afternoon. Can’t wait to see what they come up with! @SCDSB_Bonjour @GBDSSLANGUAGES

[Lynn Filliter @AssessmentGeek]

Teenagers are hilarious and I adore them. Started Q4 today and asked my ENG2D students to each create a quad of memes to represent their experiences in school so far this school year and how they feel entering the last quad. I was laughing out loud.

[Samantha Humphreys @MmeHumphreys]

@misterdoughyou @brock_mcgillis Oh no! So sorry to hear this Mike.

[Samantha Humphreys @MmeHumphreys]

Thank you @getrealmovement for another awesome workshop about 2SLGBTQ+ inclusivity. It was so impactful hearing some of the things our students are grateful for and are challenged by.

[Samantha Humphreys @MmeHumphreys]

@ONT_Dad With hybrid learners I feel stuck inside. I can’t bring the online learners outside without internet and a power supply. And the glare on the screen is hard to see them and no speakers to hear them.

[Samantha Humphreys @MmeHumphreys]

@MrBedford2 @egalecanada @PFLAGDurham Thank you for a great visual reminder that I always have more learning to do! There are issues on here I will read more about.

[Samantha Humphreys @MmeHumphreys]

Thank you @getrealmovement for a great virtual workshop and the opportunity for our @GBDBears to learn about racism and some actions we can take to ensure we are part of a community that is inclusive and anti-racist.

[Samantha Humphreys @MmeHumphreys]

GBDSS drama production of the Brothers Grimm Spectaculathon is underway and it’s been great so far. Great job @GBDSS_Arts! The show must go on!

[Samantha Humphreys @MmeHumphreys]

Thanks @OFSAA for a great training session this morning. I loved being able to take it in French since the English session was full. I can’t wait for COVID to end so I can start my high school coaching career with the @GBDBears.

[Samantha Humphreys @MmeHumphreys]

@D2L Thank you so much! I learned about the option to change the submission type to observed in person but wanted a way that the products could still be submitted. Thanks for the answer and teaching me something new!

[Samantha Humphreys @MmeHumphreys]

@D2L, I am trying to triangulate my data and give feedback to learners who have participated in class but have not submitted to the Dropbox. Where is the option to use the rubric for students who haven’t submitted work in the Dropbox so we can record observations/conversations?
