A little visitor at the dome today!

Schools Were Built for a Different Era When I was a child, most parents read with their kids daily, checked homework, talked about the school day, and reinforced learning at home. Schools worked partly because there was real parent-school collaboration. Today, many parents still care deeply, but modern life has stretched families thin: two jobs, stress, screens, exhaustion, fractured schedules, lack of local supportive family and community. Some casually propose homeschooling, but many families struggle to maintain even the old home-school partnership. Teachers are now being asked to carry burdens schools were never originally designed to carry alone. We don’t need parent-versus-teacher blame. We need updated systems for modern life — ones that support families, support teachers, and rebuild collaboration around children.

@NLSchoolsCA @EDU_GovNL Have* This is why feedback is so important! Lol

I know how helpful it is to have quality, ready-to-go resources that can be scaffolded to support diverse learners. Looking for feedback/advice from teachers @NLSchoolsCA @EDU_GovNL who has used the TPT site in the past six months. Thx! ❤️

Ok, after years of encouraging a Content and Learning Coordinator approach in NL, I've decided to start selling resources on #TPTs. While I don't think teachers should be spending their own money to do their job...

Good for the soul...❤️NL #BeaverCoveRetreat

@z56cjt @GovNL I've even started my own business just so I have options because the system is definitely ready to implode. Teachers are frustrated with lack of support from gov and struggling to help their students succeed. I'm so happy my youngest is done school this year!!!

@z56cjt @GovNL It's continuously getting worse. When I was VP I was often stuck between calling subs I knew and begging or taking people's preps and students' supports. You would not believe how many great teachers I've seen walk away from this profession. At all stages!

My daughter told me staff at her school had to cover at least four teachers today because they couldn't get subs. She's a teacher's kid so she knows the signs! NL schools frequently have shortages... And every teacher can tell you why!!! #Retention #Crickets @GovNL

These educators are using AI to make students think more critically. 🙌 See how teachers in Northern Italy are using Gemini for Education to create activities that challenge students to question, analyze, and engage more deeply with content. Learn more: goo.gle/48uVBOP

@GovNL @FIN_GovNL You can't have a stronger future without making education a priority. Our children are our future!

Keeping more money in your pocket, strengthening services, and investing in communities - that's what #NLBudget2026 is all about. Finance Minister Craig Pardy highlights how this plan supports affordability while building a stronger future. gov.nl.ca/budget2026

@TonyWakehamNL Sadly, education doesn't seem to be a priority. Studies prove that investing money in education saves money in the long run... Just saying😢

The road ahead is full of opportunity for all of us. On the doorsteps last fall, we heard clearly what matters most to Newfoundlanders and Labradorians. Today, our government released Budget 2026: Opportunity for All of Us. Here is what it delivers: ✅ Better health care with record investments 💰 Lower taxes to make life more affordable 🛡️ Safer, stronger communities ➕ And much more for all of us Learn more: gov.nl.ca/budget2026 #NLBudget2026

Child care safety under scrutiny after child wanders from St. John’s daycare ntv.ca/news/child-car…

I ran into two former students this week. All 'growed up' and working🤩 When you get a hug after all this time...you know you did good! Definitely one of the things I miss about being in the classroom ❤️

@chromeunboxed Uhm, I'm gonna need that Sheets icon rotated 180 degrees... Thank you.

Google is completely redesigning its Workspace icons, ditching the confusing four-color outlines for distinct, gradient-heavy shapes for Gmail, Drive, and Calendar. chromeunboxed.com/google-workspa…

So true. 🧡

Knowing something does not mean you can teach it. The government/decision-makers are so disconnected from what's happening in the schools... it's actually painful.

@DaphneSheaves I'm with you on this! Happy early birthday!

It's my birthday tomorrow. It was a toss up between diamond earrings or new tools. Made the right choice, I think!

If you haven’t taught in a classroom post-Covid, you don’t know what it is like to teach the modern student. The students have changed. Teaching has changed. You have to be in the classroom daily to understand what I mean.
