A3. Sometimes I see the misconception that if these skills aren’t already there, they never will be. Some feel so tied to content that they don’t have time to address these skills. I found that it’s worth every second as the classroom becomes far stronger and healthier #teachpos

BQ. It’s important to learn to work with everyone, you can learn lots especially when the viewpoints are different. Empathy is one of the most important skills that we need to develop in life, the world would be better with a bit more of it. #teachpos

I believe that learning is about the learner. And because of this, they should have a say in what they learn, how they learn, and to what extent they want to learn. Aaron S Blackwelder MA Ed Grow Beyond Grades #growbeyondgrades growbeyondgrades.org/blog/how-i-por…

Had a great evening at Brandon University speaking with teacher candidates about #ungrading. Amazing insights and questions from a group fresh off their 5-week practicum. Hopefully these conversations lead to systemic change that can benefit all students

I wanted students to master the skills; why shouldn’t it be a question of ‘either they can or not yet’? Chris Sarkonak Grow Beyond Grades growbeyondgrades.org/blog/dont-coun…

I’m finally doing what I always should have been doing in the classroom: giving students an opportunity to take risks, find success, explore their interests, and learn how to work with those around them. Chris Sarkonak growbeyondgrades.org/blog/the-ungra…

"I want class to feel empowering, and I want learning to feel like a journey, not a series of disconnected tasks," says T Chris Sarkonak. Read how he uses portfolio-based assessments, authentic inquiry and supportive scaffolding to make it happen: teacher2teacher.education/2025/03/05/thi…

If any educators out there get the opportunity to check out the Student Power Summit, do it! Just came back from an amazing time, with powerful presentations and great conversations with so many brilliant and thoughtful people. Huge shout out to Mike Nicholson! Next year is LA!

Hi! Chris, physics teacher, from Manitoba Professional learning should be about teacher growth so we can be better for our Ss. Ts should be encouraged to take risks and find the support we need to push our profession and give Ss our best #teachpos

A1 Ts getting something of value that they take back to their Ss and gives their Ss a better experience. It helps if it comes from someone that’s in the classroom and still knows the challenges that Ts face every day. Too often it comes from a source too far removed #teachpos

A3 Something that challenges me to find something better, but also feels like I can put it into use right away. I find that I often learn so much from other Ts in other provinces/countries. Those convos often have the biggest impact on my practice #teachpos

BQ It needs to be for teachers and by teachers to be most successful. Ideally, district/divisional leaders are successful teachers and cycle in and out of those positions so they can better understand how to support Ts based on their own classroom experiences #teachpos

A1. What if experts drive big picture content goals, Ts develop scaffolding, and Ss determine paths that those goals through their interests and curiosity? Maybe the only role govt should have is establishing a non-partisan org that protects those roles #teachpos

Chris Sarkonak (@csarkonak) 's Twitter Profile Photo

A2. Ss can be leaders in the classroom and help explore each other’s interests. As Ts we need to work together to help reinforce learning across curricula and we need to involve people at the next level (trades, post-sec, etc) to guide and help with next challenges #teachpos

A3. Parents have important insights into where their children are at and how to challenge them and often how to help them best #teachpos
