"Dogs come into our lives to teach us about love, they depart to teach us about loss. A new dog never replaces an old dog; it merely expands the heart. If you have loved many dogs, your heart is very big." – Erica Jong

I took some time this weekend to look at the government numeracy tests that elementary teachers are required to administer to our youngest children. Many of the questions are timed and address material not yet taught, at a time when teachers should be building relationships. 1/6

Proud to speak at the Ditch the Draft rally today along with other great speakers who each highlighted why this draft K-6 curriculum will set students back if it’s implemented. We must do better for our students and their future. #DitchTheDraft

It will take time to review the entire Bill, as once again the ATA was NOT meaningfully consulted on the content or the way it could impact the ATA, teachers and the profession. Lack of consultation is a running theme with this government, for example-- the draft curriculum.

The Logan Boulet Effect. Take a minute to watch it and Be Inspired. April 6 is for the Broncos… April 7 is Green Shirt Day.

Exactly a week ago I posted that Andriy Khlyvnyuk, lead singer of #Ukraine rock group #Boombox was injured in the war. Now some fans have "virtually" joined him for a version of "Oi u luzi chervona kalina" (Oh red viburnum in the meadow) Be sure to watch to the VERY END😉

Happy International Women's Day! Today is the day to commit to standing up for the human rights of women everywhere. Let's unite for an equal and sustainable future! #IWD2022

Remarkable speech. Addressed to the Russian people, it should also be heard everywhere.

A second video in the series. This carelessly cobbled together curriculum should not go forward. Follow me for new videos from A Very Concerned Albertan. Please retweet, share on other media and advocate for our children. @cpeck3 youtu.be/ANciMtPdIIs

Everyone keeps talking about covid becoming endemic, but as I listen to the conversation, it’s becoming more & more clear to me that very few of you know what “endemic” means. So here’s a thread on how pandemics end.

@Principal68 @RiverHeightsES @MHPublicSchools Thanks to Laura for bringing so many great ideas to light! 😉🎄 @MHPublicSchools @Principal68 #medhat

Albertans trust teachers & the ATA far more than they trust the UCP. If we really want to keep our kids safe (and, for that matter, our entire province) the best thing to do is defeat the UCP. Here’s my response to Kenney’s slanderous attack on teachers. afl.org/kenney_lagrang…
