American article with Canadian parallels. Good read. #bced “The education crisis isn’t a passing problem. Leaders in education must heed the warning signs and pivot now to avert the worst of this crisis. Our teachers need us. Let’s be there for them.” forbes.com/sites/markcper…

@lottiebrenner Congrats, Charlotte! Deep into your article already and having been a TC not long ago, definitely resonating.

My first peer-reviewed, solo article has been published! It might be of interest to TCs, teacher educators and researchers interested in the fields of self-determination, self-regulated learning, supportive learning contexts. slejournal.springeropen.com/articles/10.11…

Grateful to @CanCodeToLearn & @InkSmith3D for making coding a board so accessible to Ss & teachers with their LandEd seminar series. Elementary Ss can code an automated moisture sensor and water pump while learning about sustainable agriculture - can't wait to try this with Ss!

@ms_cho11 @edmondsSD41 @burnabyschools Guess who inspired me for this activity?! Thanks for starting me off on this path!

@vickytma @edmondsSD41 @burnabyschools Beautiful❤️

@NadineMcSpadden @coding_lynx @InkSmith3D Would love to see the pilot @NadineMcSpadden. Am enjoying TTOCing in Surrey!

Waded into coding this spring break - so impressed with @coding_lynx's introductory course for teachers and @InkSmith3D's LandEd seminar. (We can program a bee counter in elementary?!) Both courses so well designed. Excited to share with Ss and open up new avenues for learning!

@bcedchat A3: The Reason I Jump by Naoki Higashida, recommended by a colleague. A transformative book written by a 13 year old youth who lives with autism in a non-verbal world. He candidly answers questions like the title of the book. Heartbreaking and inspiring all at once.

Q3: What are you currently reading for fun? What is your next great read? What do you want to re-read? #bcedchat

So proud of Div 5 Ss' hard work and enthusiasm - some pretty amazing dancing after only 6 PE classes! #liondance #dragondance #activekids #physed

Grateful to #EmilyLongworthFund @VancouverFdn for giving our Div 5 & 7 learners the opportunity to explore urban gardening. Ss are excited about their seed of choice and one "mystery" seed! #inquiry #Learningathome #sd36learn @ms_cho11 @VanessaSauer1 @VCateMB @RoyalHeightsBC

Amazed by mother earth’s offerings on my #EarthDay walk. Leaves - hardworking and beautiful!🌱 #EarthDay2020 🌿

This is how we do social distancing lion dance class! No lion, no problem! Laundry baskets, chairs, bowls will do! Love our lion dance team❤️ #StayAtHome
