So I made a website. Mostly because I can never find my own resources when I need them, but if you want to use it too, that’s cool. I will continue adding! sites.google.com/ddsb.ca/cas…

The hardest part about being a teacher isn’t the kids.
It’s knowing all the things we should be providing for kids to meet their needs but can’t due to a lack of time, space, and resources.
It’s watching vulnerable kids slip through the cracks of a broken system.

Read @MattRKay’s post the other day. The very next morning I had a student usher me over and tell me how they had worked on their poem for their writing project.
Kind of a cool moment to not only read the writing, but notice the similarity.
ALT So here I stay not broken just bent.
Can anyone point me in the direction of a digital information text that includes or is in graphic/comic form? #onted #mentortexts
A student wrote: “In the beginning I did not like talking in large groups, but after learning this is a safe space & my voice can be heard I can speak in class conversations.”
(I never claim safe space as I know it’s more than me saying it is).
Best thing to hear.
Good question.

Leaned into Strand A3 expectations this past week in #ENL1W1. Introduced @triciaebarvia’s identity-concious response thinking from “Get Free” to go beyond just supporting an opinion and considering how opinions are shaped by experiences and identity.

Looking forward to presenting with @senior_mrs and @mstarmstrong on the @DDSBSchools Nov. 15th OSSTF PD day. It will be great to see you @309Sage, especially since I can’t make this year’s Halloween book club!

If you are interested in the many reasons to include daily Independent Reading , this new meta analysis provides evidence that it boosts student engagement AND fosters a love of reading AND supports reading skills. doi.org/10.1177/233285842412…
What a difference in my 4C class from the start of the semester. From crickets to collaborative planning and idea organization. It’s been a good Friday. #HappyWeekend
I see your noisy water bottles and raise you no-lid slushies in plastic cups the cafeteria sells 5 minutes before lunch ends 🥴.
Agreed. I think the "Research Report" is an attempt to generalize discipline-specific writing into a generic form instead of asking students to consider the relationship between purpose, audience and form (I, myself, am still grappling with how to teach this effectively).

Tomorrow I’m tying together the genius of some folks I’ve learned a lot from. Well do some notebook writing with a mentor text (@RebekahODell1), and I saw a good opportunity to bring in values work (@MarcusLuther6) for students to think about the “messages they live by.” #OntEd
ALT The visual mentor texts shows four frames of a turtle emerging from an egg and making its way to the water with the sentence your direction is more important than you speed spread across the frames.
Have you ever ran an activity and it goes so well: high engagement, students who are normally distracted are tuned in. And then you run the same activity in a different class later that day and it’s a chaotic disaster 🤣 (I’m still recovering). #onted
I worked in a department store and a lady was upset about the limit on the flyer canned soups so she proceeded to launch soup cans from our soup pyramid at us as we dove into the aisles.

Twitter is back on the “discovery-learning-means-letting-kids-figure-out-how-to-read train and Ontario educators and reposting Epoch Times articles, so I think I’m out for a couple of days. 🥴 #onted
It’s this form time of year 🤪. It’s been a hard week, but I had positive meetings with the home adults of 21 students tonight and heard that many students are enjoying the class, so that helped. Modified from @RebekahODell1 docs.google.com/document/d/1…
