If you want to raise attainment – teach all children to read
If you want better behaviour – teach all children to read
If you want better relationships – teach all children to read

Start early, do it right, and watch the magic unfold.

Pulling students from PE, music, art, or other enrichment classes for remediation can be counterproductive. These subjects are not just "extras"—they play a crucial role in cognitive development, creativity, and emotional well-being. For some students, these classes may be where they experience success and the reason they stay engaged in school.

I may be late to the game... but have you checked out https://t.co/dTJzmJ4rRd? They have vocabulary photo cards and thought how useful for vocabulary instruction, especially for those learning English. Check out these picture cards: https://t.co/90MBTDKwUG

The best antidote to burnout is not teaching people coping skills to handle stress. It's redesigning work to reduce stress.

The cure for exhaustion is removing overwhelming demands and the norm of self-sacrifice.

Healthy workplaces value well-being as much as performance.

The impact of a teacher!

Effort before offense. Applicable off the ice too.

[Topher Scott @HockeyThinkTank]

COACHES: This is a perfect clip for a preseason meeting to show your players what it means to be relentless.

What a play by Palat using his stick and determination to win the puck and then what a pass setting up the goal. It's an "Effort Before Offense" sequence, great job!!

ADHD is not a behaviour disorder
ADHD is not an illness or a disease
ADHD is not only a childhood disorder
ADHD is not due to bad parenting
ADHD does not affect your intelligence
ADHD is not caused by too much screen time
ADHD is not caused by too much sugar

🕒 Wait time 🕒 between asking a question and calling on someone for an answer — as well as waiting to respond to an answer — is an important strategy to include all learners.

@EducatorNix I love this. And also am not surprised you dominated.

It is super important to have a solid Entry Routine!

“The first routine that affects classroom culture is the one for how students enter. Like all others, this is a routine whether you realize it (and shape it intentionally) or not. Entry Routine is about making a habit out of what's efficient, productive, and scholarly after the greeting and as students take their seats and class begins.”
