Grading is not necessary for learning. Feedback is.

That is so true, and why educators should move up the admin and hr ladder or even into politics. Helping others understand this can only be shown by us experienced eduators. Change is hard but so needed.

Just two questions. A great way to get conversations going. The operative word is “more”:
As a teacher, what do you focus more on: academic achievement or engagement in learning? #edchat #onted #educacion #education

87%Engagement in Learning

Yes....opportunities to reflect, learn, adjust....rather than a terminal approach that may shut things down and help build a closed mindset around certain knowledge/understanding and/or skills.

Once they put the finishing touches on their additions to the box, they’ll mail it to another school to continue the connection. Learn more here: bit.ly/3ka7n7u #dsprojectwork #JuniorWaterWalkers

Special morning creating our Water Walk pins with Mme Ferrero's Gr 5/6 class 💧 🌊🌧 each student made two: one to keep and one to pass along to someone, to share and spread our message of protecting water!

I have really enjoyed making the Make A Difference Podcast #MADcast with @petectweets and @ZachRBrain. On the latest episode we spoke about the end of the school year and how to finish strong in this part of the school year cycle. spreaker.com/user/10100518/f…

Thank you again @petectweets for another amazing opportunity. We had a Water Talk with Dr. @KelseyTLeonard who inspired us even more! We decided to write for our school's morning announcements and posters to help others to reflect with us 💧"who is water" versus what is water!

Reintroducing #EQAO testing now, after repeated pandemic-related learning disruptions, is a mistake. Let's eliminate #EQAO, and use the funds to address student learning loss, which #CatholicTeacher Kim Sas spots as the more pressing need. #onpoli thestar.com/news/gta/2022/05…

After our zoom call with @miskoanungokwe @petectweets today on our walk to Butternut Creek, we stopped to thank the water. We sang the Water Song by Dorene Day to the water and reflected again on Nokomis's question: "what are you going to do about it?"
Today we joined Anishinaabe author Joanne Robertson, Peter Cameron, and many #juniorwaterwalkers for a presentation that connected perfectly with our water walk from yesterday. Amazing to see so many committed to such an important cause. @petectweets @miskoanungokwe @tmdenomme
