Malcolm Gladwell explaining why some people succeed and some don't.

"We are in a reading crisis and #schoollibrarians are the specialists. When you're in a crisis, you call in the specialists." Yesterday, SLA CEO, Victoria Dilly gave evidence to the Education Committee on the decline in children #RfP: bit.ly/4uK77OG #SchoolLibraries

SOE @PNeerja gifted each school with @mrbartonmaths books. In 2025, he visited 2-3 schools each week, observed over 100 lessons a month. He wrote everything he learned in 16 books. With the support of coach @mr_s_lim to navigate this learning - we feel so ready for next year.

This is amazing - great way for @Carberry_PS to showcase their growth and amazing EQAO results in reading! Def looking into this platform for our next SOE visit!

A great example of admin focusing on continuous improvement, instructional responsiveness and student achievement. Notebook LLM was used to reflect on their progress, celebrate areas of growth, and identify precise next steps to further strengthen student achievement. Worth 👀 👇🏽

🤖 “What people are doing with AI is something fundamentally different. They aren't storing intermediate results so they can continue thinking. They're handing over the thinking itself. That's cognitive outsourcing.” — @New_Old_Paul 📄 New FREE one-pager on the Generation Effect and what AI is doing to learning. Also draws on @C_Hendrick and others. jamieleeclark.com/graphics

Few people are looking into the effects of AI on education better than @mrbartonmaths. He is building a really good set of conversations with different views here: eedi.substack.com/p/ai-in-educat…

Last night’s 25th Anniversary @Great_LakesPS was a full house. From our veteran teachers facilitating face painting & Mehndi stations to the opening staff rediscovering the time capsule they closed in April 2001! You could feel the joy in the air. #PDSBEducationWeek

.@Great_LakesPS 25th Anniversary - so much fun & abundance of inspiration. From hearing former P @PNeerja now SOE of the school speak of her journey to sharing space with the founding P Ms. Haslett to meeting intermediate students of 2001 to opening the time capsule. Just joy.

Mini whiteboards (MWB) are great for formative assessment. But I always struggled with getting students to actually apply the feedback I gave them on their MWB responses. Tick-Trick took care of that! I explain more in my new Substack post. You can find the link below ⬇️
