I’m really pleased with the many real examples from my career that were included. I “walked the talk” and shared my learning in hopes of helping others. I know it will inspire educators looking for support and growth opportunities. #onted

For those who aren’t following my “teacher” account and want a story from my summer…
Check out my new blog post wix.to/P4ozBmO that explores my learning about teaching anxious students by taking a hike in Dinosaur Provincial Park.

Celebrating the arrival of “The It Factor: What Impact Does ‘It’ Have?”! Our book is perfect for aspiring and seasoned educators looking for a model to help solve problems or to improve their own learning as a teacher. Available as both e-book and print on Amazon.

I believe this and want this to be the experience of all educators!

Ellie is watching “doggie tv”. This show is pretty good; it’s called, “Neighbours”.

First cheat on my low-carb diet in 19 days. Why do they call it “Smartfood”? That 🍿 is so good and so not smart!
Teacher friends (or someone who knows a teacher) - this really accessible book by teachers for teachers could be a game changer with its practical advice and real school examples. I might know the authors...

Over the weekend, this happened! @DrSunainaSharma, with the help of @codebreakeredu, and I have our book out in the universe (think Amazon!). #onted #teachertalk - Let's make teacher life better with some easy steps for teacher-led inquiry.
For those who aren't following along on my teacher account. Sunaina and I wrote a book! More humble bragging to follow.
*deep breath* - I think our book "The It Factor" is going to the printer tomorrow. Ready #onted for some good learning and reflecting on the power of teacher-led inquiry? Without @DrSunainaSharma, this book would not be happening! Thank you. And thank you to @codebreakeredu.
We made it to Moose Jaw Saskatchewan! My new bestie might be too big to fit in the truck. #vacation
Today’s learning: campgrounds in #OntarioTheBeautiful are often located near 🚂 tracks. Train whistles accompany campfires and bird songs. I like it!

I've been thinking about the lack of curiosity demonstrated by our students. See this blog post for my theory and potential solution: wix.to/82gNZiS

Shuttle tickets booked for Lake Louise this summer. Can’t wait to travel out to #Banff and see beautiful western Canada! 🇨🇦 How blue can one lake really be? #ParksCanada #RockyMountains

Anybody else have a dog who strikes weird “casual” poses?
Meet Saturday in a sunbeam, Ellie.

Bought the newest #LouisePenny today so I can escape to #ThreePines during the solar eclipse tomorrow. I like to think it will give me joy in the darkness. Need to pre-order for October’s next instalment.

Another step closer to publication! Manuscript sent to @codebreakeredu. Added to the leadership team list: codebreakeredu.com/leadershi…

It's really happening.😀

Is the public right? That I'll do everything because of WHY I'm a teacher?

Hey Secondary Teachers, how much do you spend each school year, out of your own pocket, on consumables, prizes, and other items to make your classroom work?
With each 📕, I’m further convinced that #LouisePenny is a genius. I’m moving to Three Pines. Anyone joining me?
As part of my second act, I'm separating my professional life from my personal life on X. Stick around here for information on what I'm up to. Find me @TeachAskWhy for my education based content.

ALT "As I’ve tried, failed, and tried again to engage my students in critical thinking, problem solving, and inquiry, I’ve experienced greater engagement when I allow them to problem-find, problem-shape, and problem-solve. This shift in perspective has helped my students take direct ownership of their learning." —Sunaina Sharma, Educator
