@jecwilk And you!

What if instead of causing a huge distraction of “cancel March Break” we used March Break as a time to vaccinate Teachers, Edu Support Workers, Custodians, Admin, etc?

What Shall We Do About the Children After the Pandemic? In a must-read essay, Dr. Teresa Thayer Snyder urges schools to "surrender the artificial constructs that measure achievement & greet the children where they are, not where we think they "should be." https://t.co/BANwNPzPkl

A great way for all @HTSRichmondHill students to still do March Break tours of Canadian Universities. https://t.co/oSdE58sT6W https://t.co/fSOLcciJBg

@mayottehsc @GandalfPirate Awesome! We’re cool with sending students for coffee runs during class, right? 😉

@RickKunc @DundasOutdoors Anyone else feel the need to warn the deer?

Might make for a good PBL...

The Toronto Star wants to start a public discussion about the future of Ontario Place. What do you think should be done with the site? Mega-mall, park, casino, housing, a Ferris wheel? Or maybe you have an original idea? Let us know and be a part of the story.

My essay application for the Jonathan Larson grant, 2004.
I didn’t get it. But it turned out okay anyway.
Don’t give up. Don’t you dare.

@EBDaigle @GandalfPirate @HillStrath Missing lunch today and then walking in to find cake in the office was the clearest sign of divine intervention I've seen for a while 😇

@jecwilk I think a big part is student choice...this is where I have had the most success. As I tell my self-acclaimed 'non-readers', they just haven't found the right book yet. I also love giving a book to a student and telling them that I thought they would like it when I read it :)

@Bibliowl16 Dibs.

After reflecting on all that I have leaned from #HTSSummit2018, the words that resonated most deeply spoke to the heart of teaching: It’s hard because it matters. Thanks to @pereira_rasoHTS, @Sandra_Herbst and all presenters for your hard work and for reminding us what matters.

@GandalfPirate @MrsGanley @HillStrath We can’t wait to share all that we have seen and heard over the past few days. Nate and I were so excited talking about some ideas that we missed our exit! You are right, @MrsGanley, it is a game changer! #HTSSummit2018
