@msjreich No problem! Enjoy

Did you miss the Q&A? If you are a 3-5th grade teacher in Canada🇨🇦 and want to learn more about literacy you need to be in my Facebook group. All month long we are talking about all things literacy and this week… instagram.com/p/CCd8wdyhII5/…

@cogeco When will this be back up? Do we have an ETA

@mokos4_5 @SeaforthPublic @yourschools All.the.time!!! Now we’ve got to somehow make this a new call and response for something...cleanup...??

Thanks @madlylearning for the great YouTube links for Canadian Government! My kids are singing “Who does what?” @SeaforthPublic @yourschools It sure helps them remember what they’ve learned!

@maritstiles Thank you for standing with teachers as we stand up for our students.

I'm used to the cut and thrust of Question Period, but when the Minister said his priority was 'creating a safe learning environment for kids with special needs'... I couldn't let that fly. #onted #onpoli #cutshurtkids

@DerekRhodenizer 3/3 I share & ask for compensation for my time, & energy. Due to need I make resources for others as a registered business that uses the TPT platform to sell. Authors, speakers, and teachers who work for publishers are paid for their work. TPT fills a need due to poorly funded Ed

I am curious about your thoughts. Can you make your best case for or against the "Teachers pay Teachers" model?

@DerekRhodenizer 2/3 I make materials that take me months to create. I conduct research, employ others to validate and edit materials and purchase licenses to commercial quality photos. For this I share with other teachers. Teachers who don’t have the time to create these themselves.

@DerekRhodenizer Being a teacher I am forced to create all of my own materials because funds have been cut. The materials I am provided by my employer are uninspired, out dated, or irrelevant. They don’t support universal design or inquiry based teaching. So I make these materials myself.

@mraspinall Competition sometimes causes burnout. Chasing the dream of a being ‘Pinterest’ or ‘Instagram’ teacher is impossible. As for sharing...collaboration has gone past the confines of my own school and through SM ideas and resources can be shared so others can avoid burnout.

I often wonder if teacher burnout stems from competition. But why do we complete when we could simply share with each other? We are better together. Open you door to others.

@zbpipe Quite common. I have found that making a schedule/rules for when an IPad is used and when it is not is helpful. This makes it predictable. Having a few days of no IPad to reset (provide a less convienent option like a desktop for a few days) also housing the IPad away from desk.

Spoke with a teacher today about a student who has some self-regulation difficulties. Student uses the iPad 98% of the time and if forced (for whatever reason to try something else, they become upset, agitated,angry. How common is this? What support strategies do you recommend?

@justintarte Except when the poor choices and behaviours of one student translate into physical assaults and continued harassment of others. We need to acknowledge that the help these students need is not being provided. Some students need more than what one teacher/school can provide.

Shoutout to the educators and #schools that approach poor student choices and poor behavior from the lens of 'how can I help you' and 'how can I understand what you're communicating' rather than going immediately to punishment. #edchat #education

Ask Yourself, Why Am I Grading This? - catlintucker.com/2019/02/ask-yo…

It’s that time of year again...progress reports. Does anyone make notes to help them remember what exactly we are commenting on? I find this list helps me come up with comments and evaluations. 📝 What do you do to… instagram.com/p/B3XgxfTB4WG/…

@Mrs_AppletonCMV @VandenBosPS That’s so awesome! Glad your students engaged.

We've started creating our science board! We have some wonders about light, and a few answers that students researched and added to our board. We also did an interactive science entry about light sources and how they help us and our environment. @madlylearning @VandenBosPS

@malloy_john Have reasonable but high expectations. Support and respect your staff. Be on their team and have a backbone to do what is best for your school before yourself. Lead by example. Motivate and inspire growth and risk taking. Judge less and support more. Then get out of the way.

I am preparing to meet with 1000 Principals and Vice-Principals on August 28. What is your advice for me regarding the key messages I should share that will motivate, challenge and inspire? We are excited to welcome our students on Sept. 3. #tdsb #tdsbdirector

Awesome! I am so glad you liked the resource

Some great tips on managing a split class! @madlylearning

Great podcast episode on the different types of inquiry. Have you or a colleague ever used a wonderwall in a math class to engage students? @madlylearning teachingwithinquiry.libsyn.com/types-of-inqui…

@kkeerybi They were amazing!!

Today we are celebrating our outgoing grade 5 students so I made a few cupcakes. These kids worked hard!
