Enjoying my first course in the @QueensEduc PME program! This last module had us create our curriculum philosophy, so thought I'd give it a share here! (I love @canva!) #lifelonglearner

Gr 3/4 @wrdsb Ss are hooked on coding! It’s been so great to see such high engagement! (Happy I was able to remember some of your #Beebot ideas @MsKash22!)

This was the first time on snowshoes or building a quinzee for many of these @TaitPS Grade 3/4s. Thanks @N8ureNate for the awesome outdoor adventure! We'd love to have you back!

Great conversations today with @TaitPS Gr 3/4 students about mental health. Here’s what they’re doing/will do to support the mental health of themselves and others! @wrdsb #BellLetsTalk

Self assessment is so often opinion based…great ideas from @pgliljedahl to make this data driven for Ss! #wrdsbsummerinstitute

If our goal is to create 21st century learners, how are the institutionally normative structures that have been in place for more than a century going to get us there?? Short answer…they won’t. 14 core practices to think about from @pgliljedahl #wrdsbsummerinstitute

Thanks to @aledaklassen for sharing her daily learning logs! I really appreciated the student buy-in into making these their own! Time to take this learning and put it into practice in the Gr. 7/8 classroom! #wrdsbsummerinstitute

Rethinking the use of the term "mistake" with @ddmeyer. What we identify as a mistake in math often isn't...intentionality matters. Wrong answers are real. #wrdsbsummerinstitute

When we tell students - "you made a mistake/didn't do what you meant to", they hear "you didn't do the think I meant you to do". @ddmeyer #wrdsbsummerinstitute

Agreed!
So thankful that my board takes the time to support teachers. Can’t wait for the #wrdsbsummerinstitute to begin!
We need to ensure #coding education moves beyond video games to share the impact it has on individuals. We need to work with students to investigate how conditional statements, control structures, parameters and constraints embed bias. @BecklesOctavia #wrdsbsummerinstitute

Learning about the history of #SEL in schools from @BecklesOctavia. Incredibly eye opening and forcing me to rethink this practice. #wrdsbsummerinstitute

"It is not that dark children do not have grit and zest, but they need educators and their communities to protect it, and not measure it." #SEL #wrdsbsummerinstitute
