🌟🤓An informative, insightful Meeting of System Leaders @OCDSB this morn… with a focus on the ‘instructional core’… the dynamic interplay between the student, the educator, and the content… thru the task at hand! This work is at the heart of our core business!📲📚

So many amazing things happening @WoodroffeAvePS today! Capitalizing on non-permanent surfaces in math! @pgliljedahl

@SJHumphries2 Congratulations @buffone_pino ! What an accomplishment!

Amazing opportunity to learn today with my colleagues! Keynote speaker, Michel Chikwanine, shared importance messages about leadership and our role as leaders in the community. @OCDSB

So thrilled to be a part of a round table discussion on equity in math with @joboaler and Dr Crystal Morton. So much to learn about how to support students who are traditionally marginalized @LakeviewPS @OCDSB @eric_hardie

@GLewisOCT @eric_hardie @OCDSB @PearsonK12 @rosemortillaro I have previously done a version of spiralling in Gr 2&3 by planning and teaching based on verbs in the curriculum (represent, compare, measure, etc). So powerful when Ss can revisit their learning over and over.

@JennCapitani @eric_hardie @OCDSB Primary trajectory: 1-Ts Mindset change to mostly formative assessment (@PearsonK12 #Mathology); 2-Space/Interleave Number Sense flexibility through all other strands; 3-Vary learning w/ manipulatives, centres, games; 4-Ss Mindset that mistakes, slow, fix is OK @rosemortillaro

Spiralling! Loving exploring this - what would it look like in primary? How can I as a principal support my staff in making this change in practice? #OAME2020 @GLewisOCT @eric_hardie @OCDSB

Looking forward to my first online #OAME2020 first session with Diane Stang!! Spatial thinking is where it’s at! @OCDSB @eric_hardie

Thank you to Eva Olsson for sharing her story of survival from Auschwitz with our grade 5 and 6 students. Her message of love over hate, and not to be a bystander were very moving and so relevant to our students and staff. @OCDSB @WendyHough14

Great support for @ottawahumane for the National Cupcake Day!

⁦..⁦@AlexOverwijk⁩ discussing and modeling Managing the Flow of a Thinking classroom. Wonderful session!! #NCTMRegionals #nctmseattle #mtbos #iteachmath

@WEGowling - you have an amazing S leader who inspired so many tonight. Papatsie not only shared her Inuit culture but also reminded us to empower our Ss to be proud of theirs. Truly a wonderful learning session by her @ #DWD2018 @OCDSB #OCDSB

Student voice in the conversation about equity. So proud of Papatsie! #DWD2018 @OCDSB @WEGowling @PeterSymmonds

Interesting idea - social math! teachthought.com/learning/socia… #mathtalk

Thankful for Dylan's friends and students at South Carleton for the Dylan Tree Project. @WhiteRoomRadio

@AngePunchSmith I am trying to spiral in gr 3. How are you thinking about starting? A Gr 4/5 T and I are thinking of starting with 1 strnd

What might this look like for primary students? Taps into many concepts across the strands @drcathybruce @OCDSB twitter.com/alexoverwijk/s…
