My cell phone bill in Scotland is less than $20 a month and I have 160GB of data at 5G speed, unlimited talk and text in the UK, use of my plan within the EU for $3 a day, and an Apple Music subscription. Telecommunications in Canada is robbery!
Just because a student does not raise their hand, does not mean that they are not thinking deeply about the content. We need to broaden what we mean by engagement in our classrooms/schools. This will invite/value more students in the learning process.
These are elementary school children who woke up this morning. Who ate their favorite cereal. Who tied their shoes in double knots. Who laughed with friends on the bus. Now more than a dozen are dead. This isn’t normal. It doesn’t have to be this way. It can’t keep being this way
One of our grade 1 classes wanted to do something to raise money and awareness about what is happening in the Ukraine. Their ideas led to a whole school bake sale and tomorrow is the day! All proceeds will go to @RedCrossUkraine. #WeAreCBE@CbeArea2
My great-grandmother only had a 3rd grade education.
My grandmother died at the age of 39 after having a massive heart attack.
My mom, as a single mother, got her Masters & PhD in my lifetime.
& today, I am a Stanford Pediatric resident.
I am my ancestors wildest dreams🥺
Betty White broke barriers, defied expectations, served her country, and pushed us all to laugh. Barack and I join so many around the world who will miss the joy she brought to the world. I know our Bo is looking forward to seeing her up in heaven.
Today, @UCalgaryEduc is mourning the loss of a dear friend and colleague, Dr. Darren Lund. He believed in protecting the rights of all students, elevating their voices, identities, and agency. Darren walked the talk in making the world a better place. I will miss you, my friend.
Une excellente façon d'impliquer les élèves lors de la lecture du manuel est de diviser le texte en sections, et puis de créer des centres de lecture. Mes élèves de la 9e année ont vraiment apprécié cette activité de notes! 📝 #ÉtudesSociales
A great way to get students engaged in textbook lessons is dividing the text in sections and then doing reading centres with different tasks. My grade 9’s really enjoyed this note-taking activity! ✏️🤩
Not only does beating yourself up feel awful, it's also ineffective when it comes to encouraging change in an area that's hard for you. Tempting as it is to think you can self-criticize and beat yourself up into performing better, that isn't how change works.
Before diving into the curriculum, it’s important to ask students why they think the course is important! This is a great icebreaker activity for the first few days of school! #FrenchImmersion
We started conversations today about an action we will take in support of the children, families and communities suffering the Residential School tragedy. These are ideas from grades 3-5 students, with more engagement coming. #WeAreCBE @Indigenous_cbe @CbeArea2
