Never forget!

People complaining about the cost of consulting on the renaming of Oliver have no idea about history, nor the true cost of returning stolen land.

You’re the adult. You’ve been through situations where you can’t focus and had to be somewhere. Don’t be like that manager or colleague who made you feel like you weren’t a team player bc of how you felt. We all have good days and bad. Give these kids grace.

Don’t ever forget that students are kids and go through horrible things in their personal life. Don’t be that teacher who still makes them work or be productive when they share upsetting personal news - be HUMAN.

Teachers' working conditions expose us to constant sensory & cognitive overload. We suffer from decision fatigue. There's also something called empathy fatigue. Google it if you don't know. We chose to do this work. Doesn't mean we don't love it. But these things should be named.

A great experience meeting Her Honour during #SATL with my students. @EdmCathSchools @HolyFamilyECSD

It’s really cool to see some of my political heroes in action today! Such a great experience with SATL on Day 1. @JanisIrwin @pancholi_rakhi @RachelNotley @rod_loyola @DShepYEG

We do best for students when we do best for our teachers!

It doesn’t matter what your sexual orientation, gender identity, or gender expression is: You are worthy of love. You are deserving of respect. You are valued. And as a government, we’ll continue to have your back – this Pride season and all year long. Happy Pride! 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

As much as I’m disappointed with the election results, I’m choosing to see a silver lining. I’m proud to have @RhiHoyleYEG as my MLA, along with @rod_loyola serving in the community I teach in. I know that when things are tough, the @albertaNDP will fight back

The Student Vote Alberta results are now available. @RachelNotley and the @albertaNDP won 47 seats and received 42.1% of the vote See the complete results: studentvote.ca/ab2023/the-res… #StudentVoteAB #ABPoli

UCP candidates telling voters they’ll get rid of Danielle Smith after the election is peak UCP entitlement. Alberta voters should decide who their next Premier should be. Not just UCP members. That’s how we ended up with Danielle Smith in the first place. #ableg

Mornin' @JustinTrudeau. As you meet with premiers on healthcare, know that, as a tax-payer, I want strings attached to the $$ they receive. I want open reporting on what they $$ is being spent on. And I want it made clear that none of my tax $$ go to private anything. #Strings

I am so proud of these students, and my amazing colleague who supports and encourages these conversations. 💕

The only time I create chaos is when I play #blooket with my students. Yesterday, I won in the last 2 seconds of Gold Quest by swapping with 1st place. If you’re a teacher, you know how amazing this felt and how many Ss lost their minds. 😂 #teacherlife #teachersoftwitter

To the gentleman who was working at Rogers last night at the @EdmontonOilers game in section 209, thank you for being a wonderful human. Your kindness made my entire evening. The world needs more of you. #KindnessMatters #hockey

The entire class stops until the spider is gone. This is the first rule in my class. 😂

@EveAinsworth Yep. Came back every couple weeks. Finally went to my Dr and was put on meds for pneumonia.

Has anyone else had a horrible cough/virus that doesn’t seem to go? Not Covid, but producing horrible cough that seems to go and then comes back with a vengeance? It seems to be affecting several members of my family and friends atm

City Champions, Holy Family Falcons, Volleyball Senior Boys.Proud of our boys for fair play, dedication and enjoyment of team sport. Can’t wait to hang the 2022 banner! ThankU Coaches! #ecsdfaithinspires ⁦@EdmCathSchools⁩

Will be beyond repair from the pilot w/ insufficient evidence with the amount of disruption due to illness. Help ALL the people you serve. If you don’t want that, call an election and let all of Alberta decide, not a minute % Sincerely, an exhausted educator.

When young kids are sick, parents need to stay home and not work. What happens to your workforce if we’re in a perpetual illness cycle? Overworked healthcare workers can’t keep going, the education system that your “Minister of Education” @AdrianaLaGrange has already broken

@ABDanielleSmith instead of focusing on bills that go against everything democracy is, why don’t you focus on the children who are at risk every day because of your own beliefs about masking. A thread 🧵
