Is the world ready for an education system focused around feedback and growth instead of grades?

[Sean Hopps @seanhopps]

@MetisMamaMB @klassenaa Previous rural school was paid parking with plug but parking on the street or student lot was free. Many took advantage of that.

Current city division is paid parking (no plug is 2x the rural school price, plug is 3.25x the price).

@MBMPhotography Thank you, Jodi. That means a ton. I feel lucky to have been able to have all 3 of your boys in my class through my time in Portage!

Walking into a new classroom next week has me feeling the same I felt in 2013 during my first year of teaching. I loved my time at my old school, but I am really looking forward to working with a new school and group of students.

If more Canadians knew what most of the rest of the world pays for data, we would riot.

[Sean Hopps @seanhopps]

One change that upgrades the learning environment for students:

Focus on the "why?" instead of the "what" when introducing activities/projects/assignments, and encourage students to ask "why?" they are completing certain steps

@GerardDawson3 I find that I regularly find "excuses" to re-download the apps on my phone but quickly realize why I deleted them in the first place. My current approach is to only access them on my PC and to avoid certain ones altogether.

[Sean Hopps @seanhopps]

I'm still amazed that this is the case in certain parts of the world, but many schools still do not offer a course on it. These types of courses should 100% be required for all students to take.

[WGRZ @WGRZ]

Students in South Carolina will soon be required to take a personal finance class to graduate. What do you think? Should students here be required to take a personal finance class to graduate high school? https://t.co/601DIq4QZe

The internet is free university.

But 99% don’t know the best spots on this virtual campus.

Here are the top websites to accelerate your learning 👇

@stephencanning @Lauren9Dudley This is what came to mind for me as well!

My grandmother lives in a villa that is literally attached to the hospital but will now have to be taken over 20 kilometres away if she has an emergency situation

[Prairie Mountain Health @PrairieMtHealth]

#TREHERNE and area residents. Due to staffing issues there will be NO emergency department services and no hospital admissions at the Tiger Hills Health Centre during the summer months. For a list of PMH ER schedules visit: https://t.co/LEec8CaAk6

We were lucky to not need to make any phone calls on our Fido-connected phones yesterday and be able to do everything we normally do on Shaw internet.

How many more people would be completely blacked out if the Rogers-Shaw deal went through already?

[Sean Hopps @seanhopps]

Spent the last hour glued to my screen listening to @chrisemdin during the @UWpg_Education #Winnipeg Lost Prizes Conference. It was by far the best PD session I have ever been part of. If you ever have the chance to hear him speak...run don't walk.

@pvbiker75 I moved my savings from my main account to EQ Bank to take advantage of higher rates. I typically get a promo rate offer for 4-6 months from the main account bank in the 2-week period after my money has been moved. The latest promo rate is 2.8% until August 31.

@CaptainPasosky @jaimeweducation @RRC @mbteachers Congrats, Jaime!

It isn’t a 2022 weekend in Manitoba without hearing the words…

[Sean Hopps @seanhopps]

@hiebzky Same in Portage la Prairie. I believe we are at #17

[Sean Hopps @seanhopps]

@andshebreaks You’re not alone. I feel that’s the norm for most of us

[Sean Hopps @seanhopps]

The weather has interrupted over 16 school days this year

"Good weather" days become more intense because we are so behind

Our weekends have been spent dealing with snow and wind (and now flooding)

I can't remember ever being part of such an unsustainable school year before

[Sean Hopps @seanhopps]

@KorstromSusan My grandmother has said similar things to me. Fingers crossed this is an anomaly year and not what we can expect going forward.
