@ms_cryer Thanks Stephanie. Teaching needs more people like you!

When I told my colleagues I assigned Pride and BLM activities, they asked me “is that in your French curriculum”, “why do you make things difficult for yourself” and “what’s the point”. Educators need to realize that nothing we do matters if we don’t teach humanity & love first!

Congratulations Corbin! @WeTheShores @JennieShaw214 schulichleaders.com/corbin-bowering

@CarolCampbell4 @CTFFCE @CdnPrincipals @cdnsba I like the plan Saskatchewan is looking at for high school. Half of class is in school for two weeks. Other half working from home. Then switch. Time to see if anyone has COVID 19

I'm writing a policy brief/advisory piece on what decisions governments need to make for education policy, schools & students now & for 2020-21 school year in light of #COVID19. What would you recommend? #OntEd #OnPoli @CTFFCE @CdnPrincipals @cdnsba #ETFO #AEFO #OSSTF #OECTA

@runaddict @CarolCampbell4 @CTFFCE @CdnPrincipals @cdnsba This is our chance to make a big change in how we educate our children. This model is too old. Just because we do it this way doesn’t mean this is the only way!

@CarolCampbell4 @CTFFCE @CdnPrincipals @cdnsba This may be unpopular but continued distance learning until it’s safe to return? I know everyone is focused on Sept but the virus doesn’t magically disappear in Sept? Also in person learning in the midst of covid needs serious funding -1 teacher to 10 students

@jhlm2004 @CarolCampbell4 @CTFFCE @CdnPrincipals @cdnsba New contract actually increases class sizes.

@CarolCampbell4 @CTFFCE @CdnPrincipals @cdnsba smaller class sizes are a must, HS students still need social emotional support and for many schools are a safe place...classroom teacher workload MUST be a consideration when hybrid or full online is recommended...less to no emphasis on marks

@KadsEdu @CarolCampbell4 @CTFFCE @CdnPrincipals @cdnsba Can I like this one 10x? Use that money in the schools. Teachers already know how their students will do on these tests.

@CarolCampbell4 @CTFFCE @CdnPrincipals @cdnsba No EQAO.

@pernilleripp A message thanking them for their effort.

Thanks to @grossgeneralize and @LeahMauer too! Just found your Twitter handles in my notes!

Thank you to @jsmnwng and @FacingCanada for 2 great seminars. I have learned so much over 6 days and enjoyed great conversations.

@ann_dibella @rbharder @knott_michele @Kpteach5 @auntierez @thebrainlair @NikiOhsBarnes @sfillner Oh boy. Reading is reading. If someone will only read comics then we should be happy they are reading!

@FacingCanada Big Paper activity looking at quotes on moral setting.
