Due to discomfort w/data privacy changes coming to this platform, I will be deleting my account. I regret this as I have learned so much from generous postings of others but new terms of usage are unacceptable to me. Not sure what to do next.
Thank you to all ! โ๏ธ๐ ๐
This is an invaluable resource for school boards & schools libraries. A collaborative effort by some of the finest experts in the field- congratulations and thank you โฆ@ONLibraryAssocโฉ โฆ@oslacouncilโฉ โฆโฉ https://t.co/UWhfsPuVBP
CBC called me last night for my input on this story. This is a glaring example of how problematic it can be for teachers use Teachers Pay Teachers for History/Social Studies because materials are not reviewed or audited for equity.

ICYMI! We just released a groundbreaking study on the impact of diverse books in classroom libraries. Find out how these books are changing the reading habits of young students and boosting their reading scores. Learn more here! - https://t.co/xiF2wT9Mmf
2 framed poems have hung in front hall of my parents' home since 1970. I find myself reciting from both of them these days. 'Of Children' by Gibran & ,' I'm proud to be a Canadian' by unknown. My folks are as conservative as Diefenbaker but they got it. โ๏ธ๐จ๐ฆ
@Scribulatora How I feel managing increasingly aggressive confidence of High School boys to parrot PP, Jordan Peterson & Andrew Tate talking points. We seem determined to learn nothing from US Trump experience.

@MarcusLuther6 Agreed on S exhaustion but other considerations at play no? Past generations also had your noted pressures. What we didn't have is constant digital inputs impacting sleep & health & Ads encouraging mindless spending of every $ earned at those jobs.
Reminder that all these folks are Volunteers who also work in Schools. @oslacouncil & members have consistently contributed to professsional development & advocacy for #TeacherLibrarianship in Canada for decades. #Respect
Hardest working crew in library land! Excellent Saturday morning meeting with @oslacouncil today.
There's nothing quite like the energy you get from a group of people really and truly engaged in their work. Love these people and all that they do for schools and libraries. ๐โ๏ธ๐
๐ to my most excellent Lower West hallway cohort at Valleyview Secondary. We do this consistently & student behavior is noticeably calmer. We also get to model conversation skills & relationships between Ts as we chat with each other across the hall. We love our Hallway ๐คฉ
One of the best interventions for poor hallway behavior is having every staff member stand in the hall during transitions whilst narrating the expectations. Problem isโฆ depending on the schoolโฆ some will do it, some wonโt. Whatโs the magical way to get everyone doing this?
For years, as Big EdTech pushed digital tools,Ts kept saying 'Great but we don't have tech infrastructure or supports for Ss for Ts to use these effectively.' Now the efficacy research is here, without those things there is limited learning benefit.
In an era of omnipresent influence to do everything else EXCEPT read, Rayla read like a Champ. Long live Bookish Kids and long live #PublicLibraries ๐ฅฐ๐
CONGRATULATIONS, Rayla! ๐ You've won the Summer Reading Club grand prize at the Cache Creek Library!
We are so proud of your summer reading! ๐๐
I agree with Sandy. We used to pay for every newspaper and drink coffee at home. . Now we lose our minds over any expectation of paying for any content but pay 6bucks a coffee. #ProfessionalJournalism MATTERS
@patgagnon_75 Bookmarking this thread to share with Gr 12 Economics class. Mostly 16,17 yr old boys with a LOT of opinions, absolute stances, and are being HEAVILY influenced by podcasters. Hearing this from military man will hold weight. Thank you.
@Citybrarian Great thread Michelle. I appreciate you being detailed in your reasons for appreciating Emily. It gives substantive context for your view rather than just 'fanning' or 'hating'. I am a 'bad feminist' who also appreciates a modulated tone of voice & enunciation
