Kevlar and face shields! That's the type of safety equipment more and more educators are wearing. Yet some people still wonder why there's a staffing shortage! #abed #onted #cdned #edchat edmonton.ctvnews.ca/video/c2907800…

Peace begins with each one of us. With the choices we make. With how we respond instead of react. With the grace that we extend to those who are struggling. With the love and compassion we dig deep to find, even when it is hard to do so. Peace begins with you and me.

Hopi beliefs around the eclipse… The sun and moon are going to chat about the state of the world. I can’t imagine how that conversation will go. 😬 I’ll be burning some semaa for them and for us! 🔥🍂
I just learned that the Haudenosaunee Confederacy was formed about 1,000 years ago under a total solar eclipse. Today's solar eclipse has special significance for Haudenosaunee people.
The solar eclipse is almost here! Here's a reminder of key timings for Kingston! - The Moon makes first contact with the Sun at 2:09 pm - Totality lasts 3 minutes and 4 seconds, starting at 3:22 pm - Totality ends at 3:25 pm - The Moon makes last contact with the Sun at 4:34 pm

So, as you may have seen today, an advert for a reboot of a children's book branded a disability as 'disgusting'. Plenty of discourse already about why this is awful, so rather than add more here's a thread of some books with excellent representation that you could enjoy instead.

“School is a very difficult, unpleasant & frightening place for those who have difficulty reading. The effects on mental health are ongoing & pervasive. The answer is not to throw more sympathy or even enthusiasm at the problem; instead, every child must be taught to read well.”
After eleven or more years of education, every child should be able to read well. This is a fundamental duty of schools. Read more in our blog ‘Can Reading Problems Affect Mental Health?’ wp.me/p4hKgx-ST (3 min read). #EduTwitter

Handwriting in a Modern World: Why It Matters & What To Do About It by William Van Cleave. padlet-uploads.storage.googleapis.com/122548145/71d8…
It's been a rough year, w/ my spectacular dad facing dementia. Connecting w/ you and your students is source of joy for me — and for him. Last week, he listened in on virtual school visit. He loved every second, esp. the kids' questions. He hasn't stopped talking about it. ❤️
2 breakout sessions done - and that’s a wrap on the Alaska Science of Reading Symposium! (Note my @drLizashoes made the trip to Anchorage and I’ve had SO many compliments on the pop of pink!)
DYK about the 70:30 rule? Research suggests that students should be talking 70% during learning, & Ts should be speaking 30%. Oral Language is the foundation of all learning...even math! Join this week's RR w/ Pricia to learn practical ways to get your Ss talking more about math!

A true “right to disconnect” law would permit employees to entirely ignore an email sent on a Friday night requiring employees to do something for the employer over the weekend. We don’t have a “right to disconnect” in Ontario, even tho the Conservatives will tell you we do.
Around 7 pm on Friday night, @YorkUniversity sent an email stating that it is necessary that members complete an on-line form at cupejobs.uit.yorku.ca/remediate/ by no later than NOON on Sunday, April 21 to confirm your return to work, or else be "considered to have abandoned their work".
If you are employer sending important communications after 5pm on a Friday, what you are telling me is that A) the info in the email isn’t important B) the worker isn’t important And C) all of the above
A true “right to disconnect” law would permit employees to entirely ignore an email sent on a Friday night requiring employees to do something for the employer over the weekend. We don’t have a “right to disconnect” in Ontario, even tho the Conservatives will tell you we do.
Today, we had our first session of the Junior/Intermediate @LimestoneDSB 'Writing Revolution' project. Such great buzz + energy in the room as we learned about TWR, Cognitive Load, & dug deep learning about the power & importance of the foundational sentence. It was a great day!
Adults in schools, Find five kids today & tell them this: "I'm so glad your here today because..." Leaders, do the same with 5 teachers. Every single person in school bring something special to it. And we should make sure each one knows. Repeat this process often.
Hard agree.
Something you should never, ever, under any circumstances say to an exhausted mother: Well, this is what you chose when you decided to have children. Just do not.
A worrying report. We definitely need to be addressing overall issues in public education that may be preventing our schools from doing their vital, foundational jobs. @CTFFCE @OPSBA @OPCouncil @CPCom @OSTAAECO cbc.ca/news/canada/ha…
