@ehanford Hey! What's up with the Sold A Story Podcast being down? On the website and the app! My staff meets each week to discuss a new episode and it's currently unavailable!! 😔

I went to some literacy training and was encouraged to listen to the Sold A Story Podcast. Everything is different now. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/sol…

@ehanford @Camillocipriano

Our podcast, Sold a Story: How Teaching Kids to Read Went So Wrong, is available wherever you get your podcasts. features.apmreports.org/sold-a-story/

Changing of the Guard @niagaracatholic Thank you Director Crocco for your 35 years in Catholic Education and for the last 12 years leading the staff and students in the region. You will be missed! #CatholicEducation

@stephabees @tarastephen @fordnation @Sflecce Not all doctors have that choice either. They are working full time as well.

@tarastephen @fordnation @Sflecce Yes we are watching a Netflix series called Pandemic. Made last year before Covid19. Checked what one of the key doctors is doing with her kids right now: she's keeping them home. But what do educators do? We don't really have that choice. #UnsafeSeptember @Sflecce @fordnation

Let’s be honest, @Travisdhanraj asks fair questions - the type of questions that families want asked. Please retweet if you agree!

Toronto's board of trustees just put on a *master-class* in public service. @fordnation and @Sflecce, you claim you're sparing no expense? TDSB just made you prove it. Pay up. Every single board should follow suit with the TDSB. Fight for your damn constituents! #OntEd

We're donating 750,000 face shields so that every teacher in #Canada has #TheCanadianShield to protect them. If on a hybrid or full time basis - in the classroom this September #teachers are #frontline workers.

Some wise words from Dave Grohl. Only 6 weeks until school starts.... youtu.be/zNEhhDT--sc

Not only should it remain mandatory for a Director of Education to be a teacher, it should become mandatory that the Minister of Education be one too.

If you are a law enforcement officer and need a break, you can come park outside my home. If you are thirsty I will bring you a drink. If you are hungry I will bring you food. If you are hot I will invite you inside to cool off. If you need backup, I will stand with you. ⚫️🔵⚫️

@rocksyroller @NiagRegPolice Why so negative towards our police?

@NiagRegPolice Whatevs. Show me hard data on numbers of complaints vs compliments from the past 12 months to fairly judge performance.

A member of the public in #StCatharines reached out to us after they saw a couple of our officers on a call in a local pharmacy. Here is what they had to say (We blocked out the doctor's name for privacy).

@JeffreyLuscombe @JenFM7 can you believe this? Lol

Dear god. As if there wasn’t enough reasons for Canadians to avoid the US. twitter.com/lizziecrawley/…

@ProzacKat @BCEdAccess @deltasd37 Raz Kids is free right now!

@BCEdAccess Wow that’s awesome! I really hope @deltasd37 follows up on Monday and gets my kiddo some EA support. Today we had meltdowns as we are no longer on the razz kids, we are behind on our writing assignment, and we can’t read ANYTHING on google classrooms!

"My son spoke with his EA on the phone yesterday. She engaged him, and challenged him to find a good recipe they can each bake on the same day next week to then discuss the next day. He did NOT cry himself to sleep last night." #EAsMatter #MentalHealthMatters #bced

Minister @Sflecce, if your government insists on reckless cuts to public education, we've made our position clear: we're not moving! #OSSTF #onted #NoCutsToEducation #cutshurtkids
