Can we just take a ⏳ to think about how much ⏱️ and 💸 we are putting into addressing the mental health needs of Ss in later yrs that could be eliminated if we addressed their literacy needs in K & 1. Ensuring these children don’t have to suffer anxiety, stigma, depression , etc
Great times presenting at the #ACPI2024 in Regina! 🎉 So inspiring to see such passionate educators championing French immersion in Canada! 🇨🇦/ J’ai adoré présenter au congrès à Regina ! Tellement inspirant de voir des éducateurs passionnés par l’immersion française au Canada!

Excellent reminder to myself, my students, my colleagues, and my clients.
If sleep is the only kind of rest you get this weekend,
You're setting yourself up to fail next week.

And sleep is only a PART of ONE of those 7:

The regulation of psychologists is conducted in accordance with ethics and practice guidelines developed by psychologists in order to protect the public. If @jordanbpeterson wishes to use title of psychologist, he is subject to these standards. I stand with @CPBAOntario.
Another government bureaucracy threatens to ban a Canadian from practicing his profession because he expressed political opinions the state doesn’t like.
Now they force him to undergo a political “reeducation.”
Bring home free speech for Jordan Peterson and everyone else.

A fun article co-authored with @asforan and @npchisholm at @stfxuniversity that considers teacher wellness in outdoor education. @ResearchMSVU doi.org/10.1080/14729679.202…
Very sad to hear about the passing of my colleague, @TCOrobin. Robin was a passionate psychologist who did not see barriers but only opportunity. I’m thankful to have known her, her memory and work will continue to impact generations.
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Robin Anne McGee. Her final Cancer Olympics blog post can be read here: thecancerolympics.com/newsbl…

Absolutely shameful behaviour displayed by SK’s Minister of Education, @jeremycockrill. I will be writing my MLA @DavidMaritSK today requesting Minister Cockrill’s resignation. Students, schools, teachers, and families of SK deserve far better leadership than this. #skpoli
Taya Thomas lost her daughter last year.
This is how Moe’s Education Minister responded.
When the Sask. Party shows you who they are - believe them.

Important work happening in BC. Noting the commitment to professional learning alongside changes to screening & interventions 📣 Would love to see @SKGov respond with similar actions following the recent SK Human Rights Commission’s report on equitable education.
Today in @NVSD44 we announced new early literacy screening & interventions for students, including more professional development for teachers & staff.
Supports will help students with dyslexia & other learning disabilities be more successful.
