@WallwinS @Hillfreeb @WallwinS ummm...so SO deserved my friend. Happy it hit the spot!

I am not sure how I got so lucky to have these special humans in my life but I am very grateful. Never, ever underestimate the power of a random act of kindness, no matter how big or small, and the impact it can have. Thank-you @Hillfreeb @CDaviesLeroux for lifting me up. 💜

@WallwinS @GentleJakes Aww...I think you and Pepper would make a perfect furever pair!!

I was Pepper’s foster mom for only a little while but she has stolen my ❤️. She is a gentle soul with so much love to give. If you have room in your home & heart please consider adopting Pepper! If you can be her forever home please contact @GentleJakes #Coonhound #Rescue

The faces of innovative and dedicated educators working tirelessly to ensure our Virtual program has all the feels of safety, confidence and FUN!! I feel so lucky to learn with this crew as we build something truly amazing for students & families. @SGDSBoard 🤩

Today we had our first day of learning with our SGDSB Virtual School staff! We are so thankful for these teachers and support staff who are working hard to get our new school up and running for our students. We can’t wait for Monday when we get to see our learners! 🙌🏻

@TheGinoRusso @MicrosoftTeams

@TheGinoRusso @MicrosoftTeams I would ❤️ to check this out! Thanks for sharing!

Thanks @TheGinoRusso for this timely 💎 of a resource!

Thank you to School Mental Health Ontario for sharing the resources available to support our educators. We @SGDSBoard are very excited for the launch of your Mental Health in Action modules! @SMHO_SMSO @CESBAOntario

Very similar to our student voice continuum that our Student Senators are using to self assess and create goals for themselves!! Such a great tool!!

@WallwinS @ChrisMartin_P @G_CHS @JodyKuczynski @LkSuperiorSteve @SGDSBoard This awesome practice is already used in a couple of our schools. Effective practices are often contagious!!

Perhaps a great gr 8/9 transition activity? @CDaviesLeroux @ChrisMartin_P @G_CHS @JodyKuczynski @LkSuperiorSteve @SGDSBoard

@ChrisMartin_P A1: Build in time as a school to engage in mindfulness activities. Explicitly tell Ss & educators what the purpose of the activity is. Often, as leaders, we plan very intentionally, but fail to explicitly explain our intentions and the purpose is unknown to participants.#OPCchat

Here comes our first question. #OPCchat

@misslemieux Love this!!

Taking the time to dig deeper into our system data. #datawallstrong These numbers have faces and stories. @ksnakina @SGDSBoard

@ChrisMartin_P A4: People outside of education offer a totally different lens to look through. Varying perspectives. Also highlights perceived understandings of the outside looking in. #OPCchat

Q4. #OPCchat

@KristanRooke Relationships are so key...and student voice can be such a powerful driver for change. Without breaking their trust, do you think you could share some of their perspectives? Transitions are a BIG focus for us this year and I would love to know how I can support!!

I was trying to leave school today and got surrounded by former Ss telling me about their day and what they like/hate about high school. 45 mins later I was able to go home. Love that they come back to talk to me! ❤️ #relationshipsmatter

@ChrisMartin_P A3...necessary to prevent feelings of isolation and also to diversify your perspectives and understanding. #OPCchat

Q#3. #OPCchat

@WillGoodman3 You are more open than closed! I am grateful you are open to my ideas and challenge me to stretch and grow as a leader. @SGDSBoard @CharacterDotOrg

So grateful to @UshaJames for guiding our reflections @SGDSBoard to learn how to better nurture thinking environments for our learners. Such exciting work on the horizon! Certainty: 2019/2020 is looking powerful and exciting, Usha & team! #sgdsblearns
