I am receiving a disturbing amount of emails from teachers in the DDSB. They're afraid to speak out. I don't want to put any teacher at risk of reprimand or worse but banning The Great Bear is the tip of the iceberg. It’s unconscionable conduct by supposed leaders. /1

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!)

When we work hard for something we don't believe in, it's called stress. When we work hard for something we love, it's called passion.

Hey! Look! Did you see that massively huge convoy of health workers who has gone in to work each & every day to provide healthcare for vulnerable people amidst staffing shortages, snowstorms & a raging pandemic? Yeah...shoutout to that convoy. That convoy is the best. 🙌🏾

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!

If someone finds the strength to open up to you today… listen, and love. That’s what we need, non-judgemental listening, and unconditional loving. ❤️ #BellLetsTalk

We spent some time in the learning pit today but we stuck with it, collaborated and we did it! Way to go grade 1 and 2s. Deep learning and understanding comes from spending time in the “pit”!
