I have been recommending this webinar series to many families. Authentic conversations with evidence-based information.
Drumroll, please...our next webinar is The Not-So-Get-Along Gang: Managing Sibling Conflict During #COVID19! Let's make sure you have the tools you need to help your kids keep the peace. Join us on 2/11 at 9 p.m. EST--register now! pandemic-parent.org/webinars/02-11… #pandemicparenting
@PMatTVCC 👇🏼 Thank you for accompanying our parents/guardians! No one has to walk alone. (See this image.)
Good morning @helen_laverty just preparing a presentation about working with families and found this gem you shared a couple of years ago think it tells a parental perspective beautifully. Would you be happy for me to use it and credit you?
6) Premier François Legault acknowledged this week the reopening of schools will lead to more #COVID19 cases. But he has stopped short of having air purifiers installed in them, instituting widespread testing or offering online distance learning to those parents who want it.
4) Dr. Mylène Drouin, the director of Montreal’s public health department, noted that there are currently 23 school outbreaks and 35 in daycares in the city. She revealed that a major #COVID19 outbreak has flared up in a university residence.
The pandemic continues to highlight the inequity for people with disabilities. If schools are not safe, why are some people in buildings while others are not. Thanks @HeatheratLFP for the story lfpress.com/news/local-new…
Shout out to @bhinton_tvdsb as many of our daily slides have been created together. I'm so thankful to have someone a little EXTRA to collaborate with! 💕
As we head back to remote learning, I have created a schedule that follows our daily routine. I am hoping the consistency of our programming will assist my students with this difficult transition. Please feel free to use or share this resource. bit.ly/3rR7AiK
1/13 One quarter of young academics have been bullied. I am one of them. I am sharing this letter and chain of tweets to ensure future student and staff safety. I wish I didn’t have to. My statement tinyurl.com/yy2dxu55 @AcademicChatter #PhDChat @thesiswhisperer
Today I told my students how much I appreciate them and how proud I am of them, and how I can’t wait to see them in-person. After about 3-minutes of pouring my heart out, one of my students unmuted himself and said, “Mr. Ferroni, we can’t hear you — you’re muted!”
A teen can't suddenly begin to learn how to listen if they haven't been listened to #SelfReg #ListenToAChild
Reminder: Don't assign projects over the Christmas break to your students. Each student has a different home/life dynamic. These holidays should be spent resting and taking care of our mental health. It's been a rough 2020.
Accessibility Matters! Universal Design for Learning applies to digital content just as it does to our physical spaces. Keep in mind when sharing resources with students virtually and in person learning. @LDCSB #UDL #AccessMatters @KellyHolbrough @CAST_UDL @UDLforTeachers
