@MarleneMacklin2 @TeachersBy Ongoing feedback is so important, but too often doesn't occur. Being proactive is so important to ensure effective practices for our students. #TLPart1

Q3. How do effective leaders give and receive feedback? #TLPart1

@CeliaSaroya @TeachersBy Agreed! A Knowledgeable leader is so important. Many think this is a given, but it is not always the case.

@TeachersBy A1 I believe some of the strongest leaders are collaborative, compassionate and knowledgeable. One must have a good understanding of the system and their role within it, in order to lead effectively and inspire those around them to do the same (1/2) #TLPart1

Q1. Use 3 words to describe the characteristics of a leader within a school and why would you pick these words? #TLPart1

@Taxi2threeboys @TeachersBy I completely agree with your comment. Watching tone seems simple, but goes a long way. And, YES, always at a stance of growth and betterment. #TLPart1

@TeachersBy Feedback needs to given in a manner that the listener is willing to receive, with a positive tone, and acknowledging that this is an opportunity to grow. #TLPart1

@TeachersBy A3. Effective leaders need to be good listeners and reflective practitioners. They need to be direct and know the importance of focusing on the issue when giving feedback. They need to receive feedback with humility and reservation. #TLPart1

@TeachersBy A2. The first thing to do is listen. When we take time to listen to our colleagues we have an opportunity to understand their philosophies about teaching and learning and learn where their strengths are. We build from the strengths. #TLPart1

@TeachersBy Visionary, Empowering, Flexible - there are so many qualities one must possess to be a great leader, it is hard to choose. I believe these to be high on the list because these characteristics directly correlate with how they interact with others #TLPart1

215. Let that sink in. Thanks to @oncanadaproject for the visuals. Please share.

I'll never understand how we were able to fast track approval for 3 vaccines to address #COVID19 in less than a year but still haven't been able to get clean drinking water to First Nations communities who have been suffering for decades.

A playshop you don't want to miss!

@disneyplus Looking for the movie 'Polly' from 1989 directed by Debbie Allen. Need some more movies with African Americans.

Looking forward to more learning from @CoachesCornerEY see you there

It is imperative, as responsive educators to critically analyze texts before we offer them to our students. Thanks @a_thompsonclass @BedeauGail @booklamations for pushing our thinking.

Learning how to teach from an inquiry stance in kindergarten with #AlisonCoulman

Parents/caregivers should not be told a child’s reading level. A level is a TEACHER’S TOOL only. #FPLiteracy

A common studying technique—highlighting and rereading text—can give students a false sense of mastery. These approaches are more effective →
