@natabasso Wonder if you flip this to asset based...what's the best PD you've received? What was presented? How? By who? Etc

What is your biggest "ick" when it comes to PD?

@wpgpuckstar Turn up the positive energy!!!❤️🩷🧡💛💚💙🩵💜🤎🖤🩶🤍

@Anniekidder @CTFFCE @PeopleforEd A lot to unpack and rebuild but so doable and will benefit all.

@Anniekidder @CTFFCE @PeopleforEd Create the conditions 4 schools to be community hubs where all feel welcome. Yes, kids during learning day but parents/caregivers, community groups, etc. Must also build ed'r confidence to close gaps to ⬆️ growth mindset rather than compliance. Lrnr centered model leads to this.

“Nothing in nature lives for itself. Rivers don't drink their own water. Trees don't eat their own fruit. Sun doesn't give heat for itself. Flowers don't spread fragrance for themselves. Living for others is the rule of nature. And therein lies the secret of living.”

Today, May 28, marks two years since the Tk'emlúps te Secwépemc First Nation announced that preliminary findings indicated that the remains of 215+ children were buried at the former Kamloops Indian Residential School. 215pledge.ca

In response to the outpouring of grief, DWF created the 215+ Pledge— a call to action to #DoSomething to ensure that the children who died at residential schools are not forgotten and that the experiences of those who attended are honoured. 215pledge.ca

@zbpipe @cherylmpaterson For us it started with the physical layout of furniture, flexible seating mindset, vertical lrng/sharing spaces & opportunities and a lot of questions and questioning...

@cherylmpaterson Love to see some examples. Not sure exactly what you mean in the context of classroom- but, yes, not every space, strategy, lesson, resouces, is going to work for everyone. I hope all is well with you Cheryl!❤️

@letsquitteachin Grades are also not a requirement for learning to occur.

Grades are not earned. When we push that narrative we make grades a transactional currency related to work. School is not about work. School is about learning. That is all.

@RothwellMrs @Chris_C_Barber @ZiaZingara I wonder if the why would be non existent if the grading process were different. If initial lrng process & grading looked diff & Ss knew this...would the handing in look diff?

@CBC if today's Indigenous Celebration night on @hockeynight why didn't you broadcast the entire ceremony?

@Dean_of_math If the creativity meets the standards of the curriculum...yes!

Are we afraid of creativity in the classroom?
