ETFO is sounding the alarm on the state of special education in Ontario. “The right to an education that enables every child to reach their full potential is not just a promise, it is the law, but this government has failed to uphold the law, systemically failing students, educators, education workers and families,” @etfopresident said at a news conference earlier today. Here's a recap that includes comments from our guests, @ricardo_tranjan, Kate Dudley-Logue from @ontautism, #ETFO member Jennifer Pinder, and Joanna Conrad, a parent of a child with special needs. #onted #onpoli ctvnews.ca/toronto/politi…

@CraigBaird You have the birth year wrong.

I hope you enjoyed that look at the life of Jonathan Crombie. If you enjoy my Canadian history content, you can support my work with a donation at 👇 buymeacoffee.com/craigu 🧵12/12

On this day in 1966, Jonathan Crombie was born in Toronto. To many Canadians, he will always be Gilbert Blythe from Anne of Green Gables but he did so much more in his life. Let's learn more about the life of this beloved actor, taken far too soon 👇 🧵1/12

@and0bot @JBradshaw01 School boards do not buy chairs for the schools, if schools need chairs they need to buy them out of their limited facilities budgets.

@JBradshaw01 We need new chairs.

Hey fellow #OntEd educators! What are some things that you wish that the general public knew about our schools that doesn't get talked about?

This!! @ESL_fairy explains the issues so clearly!

@laurenTarshis Teaching 4/5 this year. This would be great for civilizations

Teachers!! Sending you my love and gratitude as you start this year. And to celebrate, I am giving away ten signed copies of my brand new graphic novel. I will announce winners by 9/4 ❤️❤️

@CoachMoserPE @thepespecialist Please explain how to play!!

We can’t have a good first month of the school year without playing Boom City! I believe when these students get older and think back to their elementary PE days, this will be one of their favorite games they played. S/o to @thepespecialist #ElementaryPE #PhysEd

@ESL_fairy I don't even set up the learning space! It's not my space its "our" space.

Hey #OntEd teachers setting up this week: please don’t feel like you have to buy cutesy bulletin board sets! Kids are more likely to use anchor charts and resources that you co-create with them in the classroom. Empty bulletin boards in September=totally fine!!

This whole thread. #OntEd

Farmers should be in control of the land they own and be able to decide who they sell it to, NOT the government. #OntarioAgriculture #christianfarmersofontario #ontariofederationofagriculture #onpoli #Wilmot

@KelseyMcEwen I have a Gr 6 student wondering what an El Nino is. Would you be willing to answer his questions?

@bdevore7 @OPENPhysEd Love this. What are your progression levels?

Stepped in at #STWPE24 for an ill presenter and shared @OPENPhysEd Pickleball! Lots of #physed fun!

@NicholasFerroni Right!!

Which teacher are you? Left or Right👀

@BenisonMrs I love hearing this. As a homreoom teacher for this grade with little to no support for my lower readers. With a class of 26, more than a quarter are struggling. How can I reach these lower readers? I do not have the time, as I teach everything. Where do I start?

12 of 12 The fact that he has made this much progress after only 31 hours of 1 on 1 support is a sure indicator that the way he was being taught was the problem and not him or his ability to learn. #EveryChildDeservesATeacherWhoUndertandstheScienceOfReaading #EveryTeacherDeservesToKnowtheScienceOfReading #ItIsNotThemItUs #KnowBetterDoBetter

1 of 12 Morning sessions are done and I wanted to share the following anecdote with you all: I work with a 5th-grade child who was a virtual nonreader and whose only strategy was guessing and who with his arms crossed on his very first session said to me:
