@HRMFireNews Just heard them pass the lacewood bus terminal

@tara_taylor @RomanFisher__ @CarolynNickelo I most definitely refer to my undergraduate courses in my classroom. Specifically discrete, problem solving and geometry

[Nicole Whiteway @nwhiteway]

@BoydMath @RomanFisher__ @tara_taylor I am a better Math teacher because I know math at a deeper level beyond algorithms. Because I can speak to the “why” of the discovery my high school students are doing.

@Dang57404287 @Tim_Bousquet The teachers college created teachers for a system that no longer exists.

@Winnipeg_21 @MarkMikhail570 @Tim_Bousquet @halifaxnoise @dartjenhen You’re right, the pay is a problem… perhaps that key retention issue should be addressed instead of lowering the education requirements.
I do challenge your comment that we have too many teachers… plenty of jobs go unfilled daily.

[Nicole Whiteway @nwhiteway]

@Winnipeg_21 @aleanbh @jrofihe67 @Tim_Bousquet @dartjenhen At issue is not number of years, but education level. You can not complete an undergrad in two years. It is not common to complete one in three but is possible.

[Nicole Whiteway @nwhiteway]

@Winnipeg_21 @aleanbh @jrofihe67 @Tim_Bousquet @dartjenhen It’s important to note that a “one year” program is over 12 months and meets the same credit requirements of the two year programs that are more common in N.S. Additionally, if you have a three year BA, you have completed the requirements of an undergrad program

@TVKiese @FOX19 @917wvxu Would have been great to see him in episode 4 tonight…. But for some reason we are all watching the second to last episode and not the fourth

[Nicole Whiteway @nwhiteway]

@costcosoftserve I was wondering the same thing!

[Nicole Whiteway @nwhiteway]

@FrozenTrekkie @GlobalTV I was wondering the same… couldn’t understand how so many people vanished from the board

@sportswithjohn entire category on @Jeopardy ! Best thing ever

[Nicole Whiteway @nwhiteway]

@hankgreen I have the night ones (wearing a pair now) absolutely love them! Gave the night ones away to my niece as well :)

[Nicole Whiteway @nwhiteway]

@Jeopardy your clue about Camilla tonight was a bit misleading. Consort was not “dropped” consort isn’t part of a title. She IS Queen Consort (opposed to the Queen Regnant of Elizabeth) Philip was the Prince Consort known as Prince Philip just as Camilla is known as Queen Camilla

@CTVNews please bring back 1hr live at five and 1hr news at six in Atlantic Canada. No one is enjoying this 30 min national news that just repeats all the stuff our local people communicate with us just fine.

[Nicole Whiteway @nwhiteway]

Congratulations to @JLIlsleyHS improv team on their first exhibition round of the CIG season!

[Nicole Whiteway @nwhiteway]

@BellMediaPR why are you changing the evening news model? As an Atlantic Canadian we want my local feel good stories from 5-6 and news from 6-7. National stories happen in the 6-7 news or people can tune in to NewsNet. No one wants LESS local content!

The @NSTeachersUnion stands firmly against hate, and believes that our classrooms and schools should be safe and inclusive environments for all students, including those who identify as gender and/or sexually diverse.

[Nicole Whiteway @nwhiteway]

@LEGOIdeas I really love my Everyone is Awesome set… I’d really love it if I could trade out a few minifigures (or add to them) to demonstrate even further the importance of inclusivity and intersectionality across gender race and disibiliy (all while maintaining the colours)
