Yes to this! As well as classroom behaviour charts that are visible to everyone...take them down!

This is so beautiful 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽 #DisruptTexts

I saw the tweet "Labels are for soup cans." It reminded me that my professor Kim Reid had a huge sign on her door that said "Labels are for Boxes." She always wrote dis/Abilities... so the focus would be on what kids could do! Let's pledge this year not to label kids!

Let's all start off on the right foot! Don't terrorize kids with timed tests and then call the ones that can answer in a minute fluent! Check more out at mathfactfluencyplayground.com

This was an amazing conversation. Please watch it now for free.

My son’s school wrote a pretty good land acknowledgment.

Wonderful!

Very timely while report cards go home and parent teacher conferences are underway. Such a key opportunity to learn from each others knowledge and to strengthen student success. #parentengagement CoConstructED Northern Lights

Children's books are beautiful works of art with incredible life lessons. This is a great list of books!

Today Northern Lights staff participated in a variety of professional development. Staff @nsescoldlake engaged in hands-on math activities to support student learning in the classroom and/or as intervention. Staff had a fun and competitive time!

Literature circles are a powerful way to create a space for students to talk about a book. These students were discussing the characters and the problems they were facing. The conversations were rich and engaging! Northern Lights HEB School

"The more informal the learning environment, the greater the teacher's access to the learners' representations, understandings, and misunderstandings." -Lilian Katz & Sylvia Chard

The Kodiaks by David A. Robertson will be on our next Battle of the Books list with Cold Lake Library for 2025. A signed copy by this award-winning Indigenous Canadian author would be amazing!

I am so thankful for all the things that I get to be a part of. I did 85 presentations, speaking to over 7000 educators all over BC, Northwest Territories, Saskatchewan, Niagara Falls, & Winnipeg. My book Re-Storying Education made the Globe and Mail Best seller list!

Definitely worth a read and sharing with parents!!!
