@rhondahewer This is interesting.

@rhondahewer @AmyCEdmondson @Neilsonj9 @Mr_ChadHarris This was an important experience for S's. They brought honest perspectives about how they feel about failure. So intrigued by the idea of intelligent failures giving us the information we need to grow and succeed.

@rhondahewer @wrdsb @Neilsonj9 @WR_Record It's time for teaching itself to become innovative. Helping students solve real problems using design thinking is a game changer. Introduced to us by you @rhondahewer

@Nicolascole77 Oh these are good

[Carli Parsons @mscarliparsons]

We are so honoured to be listening to pitches today from the amazing design thinking teams at @wrdsb Groh P.S
Groups have been working to understand how they might improve the experience of newcomers to the community…the results are blowing us away! @Neilsonj9 @schaeferjen 🔥

Sikh children now have the option of wearing a helmet that fits them properly, thanks to a Brampton mom. Tina Singh, an occupational therapist, couldn't find a suitable helmet for her boys, so she's created her own. https://t.co/SPUeI9lgNv

Was honoured to be invited to be interviewed by @grohjenjes’s Grade 7 class yesterday as part of the design thinking project they are working on to help improve the experiences of newcomers to Canada and our community. This is the power of student voice in action. #WeAreWRDSB

Such a treat to speak with these compassionate and critical thinkers @growrdsb this morning as they worked on their design thinking projects to support newcomers in @wrdsb schools and communities. Many of them have lived experience as newcomers to Canada.

@mscarliparsons @wrdsb @MrPBsMusicClas1 How amazing to be working with your mom, Zack!

[Rhonda Hewer @rhondahewer]

Oh how I love this article. Maybe it is time to stop blaming the pandemic for unmotivated and disengaged students and start owning the fact that an archaic education system is the cause.

@dropkickmath Learning from @rhondahewer has been so impactful to my own mathematics teaching.

[Jen Schaefer @schaeferjen]

@LisaLaFlamme_ Big, big mistake. Shame on CTV for making this misstep. As a decades long viewer, please know how much I valued you and your integrity. So classy!

To the kind bus angel who found my son’s wallet and delivered it to @wci today, you have reminded me that there is still some really good people in the world. Thank you so much. #payitforward @GRT_ROW @citywaterloo
