This is crazy. Investigating cases (even low risk ones) is WAY beyond a teacher’s area of expertise. We cannot build trusting relationships and investigate cases at the same time. lakelandtoday.ca/local-news/…
Mini whiteboards (really just page protectors with card stock) so all students can respond and/or I can see who is ready to share with the class. Works good for think time during think pair share activities too.
It’s too bad that mandate frustrations are spilling over into schools. I worry that parent/student/teacher trust is being eroded by misplaced blame. We need to refocus on being partners to build positive conditions for learning.
Cool! Along the same lines, Nova Evolution lab has some interesting stuff. pbs.org/wgbh/nova/labs/lab/e…
Love Hapara. I release content small bits at a time through workspace. It’s so versatile you can share all types of digital content to individuals or small groups. Work can be submitted and returned with feedback multiple times too!
We have some seriously awesome and creative kids!

Mental health supports for all. Re-thinking the structure of mental health supports through the public system; youth and the most vulnerable in society are not getting service when or where they need it.
Please research the trustees in your area and get out and vote! It is a really important year; key issues in schools include improving mental health supports for students and navigating the pandemic.
On October 18 ❗VOTE❗ for your local school board trustee. Learn more about why your vote matters vote4kids.ca ✅
I truly believe elementary schools should consider using the subject specialist approach. A teacher specialized in math education will develop strategies, vocabulary and activities that are consistent across grade levels and improve fluency.
Not the case for all secondary teachers. Our rural teachers get 40 min for all subjects total (and most teach 4 courses or more).
Dear calculator manufacturers: please stop rounding the last digit on the screen. Signed, middle school math teachers and students who take everything at face value. #math
Check out “Box Cars and One Eyed Jacks” materials, Esti-mysteries, Which one doesn’t belong, and Quick Draw. All can be found online. I also use games like KenKen and Hashiwokakero.
Will do! I’ve got some kids who would benefit and I plan on trying it out next week. You can be my test subject. 🙂
This could be a game changer!
Hey #btps28 teachers, if you haven’t already checked out Mote, adding voice to your Google Forms could be a big win over these next few weeks.
Got my vaccine today! Thanks to @SaskHealth for the well organized drive thru service and @SKGov for prioritizing teachers.
Our school is so lucky to have such a passionate band teacher! So happy to hear music in our halls again 🙂
So nice to hear music in the music room again! Thanks Miranda for coming in to start us off right! @KHS_Cavaliers #MusiCounts
Check out this thorough analysis of the current draft curriculum. The highlight pages given to the public are very deceiving. There are too many concerning issues to even consider piloting it. #throwitout alberta-curriculum-analysis.…
