@Travisdhanraj Lack of funding and unrealistic expectations of what educators are able to do to support students. We actually need better social and mental health services for everyone - the education system isn't designed for what we are seeing in our classrooms.
@hastieteaches Hmm. DI with capitals has a very specific meaning (project follow through and is very prescribed with a script). I tend to use explicit instruction instead. That list is problematic for even that definition. I'd be interested in hearing what they have to say.
@MmeLockhartLDSB @researchEDCan I actually brought one of my mini-white boards to my whiteboards to show everyone how I use them. Best investment ever!
Ok. Can't resist this chemistry comparison. Scaffolding is a state function (Hess's Law). The pathway may be different - but everyone will get to the same place. @MrsBallAP#rEDTO2025
@nsachdeva2019 You have to understand how PD days are run in Ontario. Some days are Ministry mandated, others are based on board priorities. Admin generally just deliver what they are given - complaining to them won't help. They have little to no control on the content.
@NateJoseph19 That was Tues for me. Booked a routine service appointment. Car wouldn't start. Got a jump from CAA and ended up getting to the garage 2 hours later. Let's just say it was a very expensive start to summer vacation...
@PatriciaRevel11 Yep. Been saying this for years. I think Dr. Stephen Chew said it best: "Learning is contextual therefore teaching is contextual. There are no best practices."
Hey @HPSupport your product is unusable. We've used the chat bot twice and asked for a call back in the evening - but you keep leaving messages during the day. How can we replace this product - it is defective.
Today was our @OSSTFD25TBU PD day. Best PD day of the year. Had so much fun talking about the Science of Learning! Thanks to everyone on the Science Subject for organizing!
