Hey #BrantfordBrant,

So pleased to welcome to the Ontario Legislature @DeaniVanPelt and Tim Bentum of Edvance. Independent and faith-based schools are a vital component in our Province’s education ecosystem and welcome further discussions in the future.

#workingtogetherforyou

@tom_deelstra Awesome! (... and for safety the negative on the dead vehicle should go to the engine block or bare metal somewhere, not battery.)

Here is still more evidence that when people have their phones with them, they are less likely to interact with others, and enjoy being near new people less.

To reduce loneliness among adolescents, get phones out of schools now.

@beim_m Does Tim's deliver to Iowa?

@flyingdutchwx Always find these so interesting. If we are this far into winter with this little ice, historically does it ever close over in the remainder of winter? Or at least reach average seasonal cover?

[Cardus @cardusca]

Our latest research into Ontario’s independent schools serving 153,000 students, show that almost half of Ontario’s independent schools have a specialization, like STEM, special education, or Montessori. Only 4% are considered “elite!”

Read about it!

@tyleramidon Admin supply teaching in a classroom is an excellent grounding in the "why?" of school leadership. Highly recommend. (But the other work just waits for you....)

[Andy Crouch @ahc]

The only worthwhile growth (and almost always the only real growth) is organic growth—the result of slow, patient, long obedience in the same direction. Ignore the viral exhilaration and keep pursuing your vocation.

[Stephen Janssen @sjanssen2000]

@tom_deelstra Love this. (I thought getting the balls of the roof was an elevated status. )

@beim_m @DordtEDUC I've always struggled with #1. Most often it is, but sometimes it isn't - based on bias, knowledge gap, or (lack of) experience. How do you navigate?

[Stephen Janssen @sjanssen2000]

@tom_deelstra Agreed!

[Stephen Janssen @sjanssen2000]

@d_mulder Appreicate your wisdom shared with the wide community- regardless of the means/platform that you have/will use :)

@flyingdutchwx Hmm.....

@d_mulder My lead question would be: 1) Does technology use with ______tool lead to being able to do something you couldn't otherwise do that leads to being able to love and to know more fully? 2) Does it diminish or accelerate human connection?

@hankdejo @amber_bowen I grew up going there every March. Huntington Beach State Park was really neat.

@PrincipalProj I saw the impact of an exceptional Principal as a young teacher.
