Visited @beal_innovates -you will find...engaged students, real-world problem solving, balanced learning of 4 credits, team-teachers in a positive environment. “I like learning when I have choices and care about the topic. If I’m just told what to do, I don’t care.”-student

Huge shout out to @STEMatSaunders Already when I ask my Grade 9 son what he’s learning at school I have no idea what he’s talking about #Science

Imagine S.O.L.E. stations with extra Hand hygiene and distance. If your posters are laminated, like smartboards, you should be able to at least have a T demo version up. Also we have a Jamboard version of Project Canvas for Ss to go digital - will share soon

Worth reminding folks that lower numbers of students attending our schools (Eg parents opting out/opting for online) doesn’t REDUCE class size. Rather, there will be reorganization based on the number of students back to regular sizes. #onpoli #onted #UnsafeSeptember

UPDATE: As a result of the #OECTA complaint before the OLRB, the FULL results of the government’s “largest ever” education consultation will become available – proof of opposition to Ford’s cuts will FINALLY see the light of day! #onlab #onpoli #onted

2 days with 500 Future Sabres! Can't for this group in September! @SaundersOne @STEMatSaunders

@STEMatSaunders students welcomed grade 8s from @WSherwoodFox @byronnorthview and Byron Somerset to @SaundersOne with some STEM demos! #tvdsb

Thank you to all of the families that joined us tonight as @STEMatSaunders students shared their experiences with the program. We are already looking forward to next semester! @SaundersOne @TVInnovates #innovation

@STEMatSaunders Orientation saw Ts modeling collaboration as new Ss completed their first team challenge: stack a cup of towers using an elastic, 6 strings, and no talking! @SaundersOne @TVDSB @TVInnovates #teamwork

@STEMatSaunders Ss share their Passion Projects with grades 6-8. They are articulate, engaging, and thoughtful young people. We spent the p.m. blasting rockets in the yard in our student-designed T-shirts and watching a student-created year end video. It has been a privilege.

@STEMatSaunders Ss coding traffic lights using Arduino with @westernuEng

the FEEL of MUSIC on display at today's grade 9 @STEMatSaunders understanding culminating event. Great learning happening @TVDSB

Explaining Einstein's theory of General Relativity in Grade 9 - one of dozens of brilliant expressions of understanding from @STEMatSaunders culminating activities next exhibition 19 June @TVDSB

@STEMatSaunders representing at the Relay for Life today! I love my job!

To keep Indigenous partners in the dark on Indigenous curriculum changes, & then consult AFTER the curriculum release is troubling. @LisaThompsonMPP is keeping everyone in the dark. Indigenous voice must be at the forefront of this process. #onted #onpoli #edchat #OSSTF

Prototyping a foldable solar panel for space travel in STEM @SaundersOne #tvdsb How can we get it to open and close on its own?

Busy morning in STEM @SaundersOne as Ss code Microbits games and use #VNPS in math to determine x, y intercepts. #tvdsb

Subjects don't exist in isolation outside of school. Break down the silos and amazing growth happens for Ss and Ts! #tvdsb @rickpardo

@STEMatSaunders Ss when asked what they are learning in the program responded: "1. working together, 2. doing projects, 3. designing things, 4. using new technologies, 5. more freedom and interaction with others." Notice that they did NOT answer, Science, Tech, English, Math.

No one will lose their jobs, huh, ⁦@fordnation⁩? lfpress.com/news/local-new…
