@RankinSchool Stunning! Congratulations Rankin Class of 2023! 💚

We are so proud to share, our graduating class of 2023.

@RankinSchool @CBVRCE_NS Wonderful! Congratulations Emma and Kai!

The Lieutenant Governor’s awards were handed out yesterday at the Port Hawkesbury Civic Centre and @RankinSchool had two recipients. Kaj Udby and Emma Cholak. Congratulations 🥳 to you both. @CBVRCE_NS

@EllenBees Let’s see if your students figure it out!

@MatRyanELATeach Sincere question: Would you ask prospective English teachers if they are writers? I think we often give teachers a pass on that one yet it’s the one thing they are absolutely required to assess.

If I were hiring a high school English teacher, one of the top criteria I would look for would be that they are a reader.

@RankinSchool Happy Gaelic Nova Scotia Month, Sgoil Mhic Fhraing a Chaolais!

I asked a group of former cohort members what we, as a university, could have done better to prepare students for the being a teacher. One student's answer stuck with me. "I wasn't ready for the loneliness. As a cohort, we were a community. You played a small role but it was us as a leader but, sorry, John, it was us. We were tight. Then you enter the field and you're on your own. I just wish I worked at a place where we ate together and planned together and had a couple of drinks together on Friday night like we did as as a cohort. I miss that so much." I'm not sure how you define PLC but it's not "a group of people who analyze data together." It's what she was describing. It's a community that talks shop on a Friday afternoon after work.

@julnilsmith Turning fanny packs into… well, a different kind of pack.

I know that I’m supposed to be wearing a belt bag across my shoulder now LIKE EVERYBODY ELSE But that is exactly why I am NOT doing it!!!!!!!!😂😂😂

@virtualham They’re so outdated and yet I’m positive they are still being used here.

@virtualham They still print that book?? Or have you never let the students touch them.

@Mark_Black Def Zeppelin

Snazzy! ✂️ 📐

@JayWamsted Following! 😂

I have never been a teacher, but don't worry! I have some advice for you. A🧵

@virtualham It has moved off my night table and into my sewing room.

@howie_hua Discovery learning in math is overrated and potentially damaging.

What math (or math education) opinions would get you in this situation?

@albertfong I want to say vapes, but I feel like I just heard someone tell me a different answer. Which tells me it’s a TikTok trend.

Setting: #onted high school washroom Observation: a ceiling tile seems to have shifted from its place. Action: a custodian discovered something hidden in the ceiling. Question: What did the custodian find?

@MitchellBrookns What grade level teaching would this webinar apply to?

I'm extremely honored to be asked to speak about one of my favorite topics: Supporting Students with Constructing Meaning from Complex Texts. I'm looking forward to all who join as we work together to eradicate illiteracy! #Literacy is Liberty!

@ruralteacher @RankinSchool @CBVRCE_NS @drobson19 Omg I love this so much! What a wonderful celebration of poetry you’ve been having!

Our school @RankinSchool would so warm your heart on this cold day - Our Poetry Cafe from pre-primary to grade 12 ♥️ @CBVRCE_NS @drobson19

The Gullah Geechee song “Kumbaya” is a plea to God for help. You may know it as “Kum Ba Yah,” “Come By Yuh,” or “Come By Here.” Once one of the most popular songs in the folk revival of the 20th century, it has more recently become the subject of misplaced scorn.

@MacAulayTodd I guess they know their people. 🤣

@NorthHighlands2 @CBVRCE_NS I love this idea! Great collaboration Cabot and North Highlands!

Family Literacy Day Grade 8 Students from Cabot joined us today. They planned and created activities to correspond with chosen books that they read to our students. It was excellent! @CBVRCE_NS #FamilyLiteracyDay
