The new CEO role (head of school boards without a required education background!) is meant to be hired by elected trustees.

TDSB trustees have been sidelined for 11 months. Calandra's supervisor (from Metrolinx) has just hired TDSB's CEO. #onted #onpoli

Focus Ontario: Education Minister Paul Calandra may have kept trustee positions in place, but the province will take a more "active role in every single school board" (except French-language boards).

Plus, why he wants to expand the classroom cell phone ban.

Students are not automatons. They are living human beings with emotions, not government data points. Their lived experiences make education beautifully challenging. Therefore, educators must accommodate, differentiate, and maintain high expectations for learning.

If folks in Toronto think school closures are bad now, just wait a few years. The population of kids in the City is collapsing.

Just like in the US, kids don't live in communities where they're priced out.

Here’s the “family photo” I keep on my desk, and not a single student has ever questioned it.

Chronic absenteeism isn’t a teacher problem it’s a system problem.

Teachers are there to educate, not to fix poverty, mental health struggles, family crises, or unstable housing. Yet somehow, Doug Ford and Paul Calandra are blaming teachers for all of it.

Great message from @DFISHERSDSU Communicating Daily Learning Expectations (Section 5 of The Illustrated Guide to Teacher Clarity).
The learning students need to do gets translated into daily learning expectations that are communicated to students. These 3 questions guide the daily experiences of students.

Making teaching methods more prescriptive reduces a teachers ability to adapt and modify lessons for the unique needs of the students in front of them.

Schools are not a factory, students are not a product.

[Chris Glover @chrisglover]

Students at low income schools are most likely to come to school hungry and get the lowest test scores.

Ford is cutting special funding for low-income schools as well as 600 teachers at the TDSB.
