Looking forward to presenting as part of @ISTE Taking ITGlobal #Edtech webinar series on Thursday at 3:30pmEST to talk about #TheRelevantClassroom @ascd info.iste.org/en/takingitglo… – at Carleton Place, Ontario

Had the great privilege of representing @ucdsb yesterday w/ @Kelty100 at the launch of the Kanienkehaka Advisory Circle which will assess and recommend Mohawk language speakers for teacher certification. A huge step forward in furthering Ss access to language. @Arewahgon – at Tyendinaga Mohawk Territory, Ontario

Great new podcast from @ocdsbxl. Amazing to hear the stories of New Canadians and their personal connections to Black Canadian soldiers from WWI as survivors of war and discrimination themselves.

Thanks, @carolyntanner88! Very proud of the work the team, teachers and students have done on this project to-date. #projecttruenorth #ocdsbxl

Thanks, Kathleen! Really enjoyed the visit with the class. Great examples of #experientiallearning and excellent questions from engaged Ss. #TheRelevantClassroom #ocdsbxl

Many thanks, Jason! This is a great project and an excellent example of what real-world learning looks like. Referenced your project in a presentation to some @uOttawaEdu students earlier this week. #experientiallearning #realworldlearning

That’s very gratifying to hear. Thanks for sharing, Kathleen. :)

Powerful example about the importance of culturally relevant pedagogy and helping Ss to see themselves in their class. Well done, Carolyn!

Terrific new podcast from #ocdsbxl. Listen to how a Ts first foray into #ExperientialLearning grew into a wide-ranging and highly engaging experience for Ss and Ts. @ocdsb

Great to see students jumping into our #ProjectTrueNorth. Ss are researching the men of the No 2 Construction Battalion, Canada’s first Black battalion. Using primary source documents to create a database of the entire battalion, a Canadian first. @ocdsbxl @ocdsb

Great opportunity for @ocdsb students to learn more about the myriad great opportunities in the skilled trades this Thursday @ 7pm. #ExperientialLearning #oyap

Great project from students @WEJPS - creating a #socialenterprise which makes masks, with the proceeds going to the @KanataFoodCpbrd. Helping and learning at the same time. Terrific idea.

Had a great visit today with my new friends from @PinecrestOCDSB who have been busy planning a revamp of the school gardens complete with bird feeders and raised-bed planters. They also designed coasters as a fundraiser. Great ideas! #studentvoice #ocdsbxl @ocdsb

Had the great pleasure of listening to the wisdom shared by my colleague, @iamprinceduah , and several other Black men who are educational leaders in this conversation last night. Link to a recording of the conversation in the tweet below if you missed it...

It’s an important question, Derek. I’ll add: If we cram something into our heads to pass a test, and then forget it a week later, did we really learn it? How many of the tests we wrote in the past could we still pass today?

Thanks, @joellerudick - appreciate you adding your reflections to the discussion!

Listening to recent @ocdsb grads talking at #launch2020 about what their lives after high school look like: gap years, college, apprenticeship, work, entrepreneurship and university. Great insights! #studentvoice #studentsuccess

Important message from @TinaVarughese in #launch2020 post-secondary event keynote this AM. Over 3000 participants signed up for the learning today. #unconsciousbias @ocdsb
