Lights!💡Camera!🎥 Action!!🎬
Teachers know WHAT to teach (phonemic awareness, phonics, vocabulary, morphology, fluency, etc)
Teachers know WHY they need to teach it (reading research says so).
But teachers also want to know HOW!
Coming soon- an incredible production of #StructuredLiteracy in action. Putting together the WHAT, WHY, and HOW of reading research in classroom practice. @ldacacta @LDAofOntario @TAaLecole @LDatSchool @ScholasticEdu @RideauPS_LDSB

When mistakes are high-stakes, teachers and learners stop taking risks. But when mistakes are welcomed and encouraged, teachers and learners discover new possibilities for learning.

Magic ToDo is a neat tool that allows you to type any task and have it broken down into individual steps. Great for easily chunking large tasks into smaller, manageable steps for students. You can even adjust it to how specific you want the steps to be! goblin.tools 🤯 – at Conception Bay South, Newfoundland and Labrador

What did we do this year? An A-Z challenge is a great way for Ts and Ss to reflect on their year together. @NLESDCA #EndOnAHighNote

In 2018, more teachers left the profession than any other year prior.
A year later, 2019, that number was surpassed.
In 2020, that record was again surpassed.
In 2021, AGAIN.
It’s rarely spoken of as the emergency it is. Teaching is simply an unsustainable career for many.
