The entrance area that greets visitors to a typical American high school contains two things: evidence (in the form of trophies) that its students triumphed over students from other schools + plaques listing which of its students are better than others...
@JodieSuss@RosePillay1 Love the colourful proficiency to percentage chart. I appreciate there’s overlap (eg room for the teacher to determine whether mostly 3s is an A- or B+). As professionals, Ts have a role to play - it’s not just a straight conversion. Where did this one come from?
Pleasantly surprised to find some 2nd year s’s made their inquiry projects more authentic by creating a joint YouTube channel to contribute to the teaching profession (BCTC Standard 8). https://t.co/hcIni9vr7x
Clarity builds confidence! 3rd year and post-degree EDUC students work to deconstruct Learning Standards, clarify proficiency, and write student friendly learning targets. Supported by Prof. Lui, Olding, and Laurie! #activelearning#cleariskind#designmatters#backwardsdesign
@colinmadland @_valeriei Yes! I’ve been meeting with 2nd years about their inquiry project proposals this week. Although my meetings are short (51 students x15 minute meetings), they have been a chance for us to connect and clarify understandings.
OPEN HOUSE is coming soon!
TWU's School of Education can't wait to see you there!
Saturday October 23rd 1pm - 4pm
Langley Campus - Devries Centre

There are gym teachers and there are physical education teachers. There is a difference. A gym teacher rolls the ball out, has limited expectations and cares more about coaching than teaching. A physical educator is aware, accountable and empowers his or her students. #physed
