Absolutely loved teaching this group of year 2 Senior Biology students uOttawa Education! We capped off our course with dissection of grassfrogs and honed our skills for how to best guide students to success with specimens. Wishing all of these teachers successful careers ahead!

Once again it's that day for the eyeball dissection with grade 9 science. Got it on the board at lunch yesterday for the kids to reference today. Hadley Jr. / Philemon Wright High School Western Québec

Come & enjoy our Spring Concerts featuring the ensembles of the Ottawa Youth Orchestra Academy next weekend. Tickets are available online at ottawayouthorchestra.ca or at the door. One ticket for both shows! The artwork on this concert poster is by Julius Marks in Jr. Strings.

Today was all about blood in biology 11 forensics unit Hadley Jr. / Philemon Wright High School . We looked at the angles of cast off and impact, and how height affects size of droplets. Working up to our final project at the end of May to fully understand and interpret a crime scene.

Another great school year wrapped up! My students ended on a high note and there were some excellent projects for grade 11 forensics unit - analysing a crime scene! We also released butterflies which I always think is poignant given that the students are graduating tomorrow 🦋

I had a lovely time conducting a workshop about worldly education and the urgency and nature of transformative pedagogies at the Canadian Teacher's Federation CTF/FCE with Nicholas Ng-A-Fook , Dr. Catherine James and Paul Tarc. Pleasure to work with you as we continue this research.

Welcome back to my students at uOttawa Education . We're diving right into looking at activities for PED 3131 Teaching Intermediate Science - from peppergrams to density calculations and more 🤓

A great week in PED 3131 designing really practical experiments for intermediate science. Light spectra of various metal salts, building structures with index cards to test various forces, and looking at the effect of temperature on the kinetic energy of gases!

We had some great and not so great pumpkin blasts today in PED 3131. It was a good way to learn about what mixtures work for this cool demo! Here's one that worked perfectly! Université d'Ottawa | University of Ottawa uOttawa Education

You don't need a lot of tech to do a respiratory system activity! My grade 9 classes built "lungs" today using bottles, balloons and straws! The lung inflates when you pull the diaphragm down and vice versa. All materials can be saved for next year!

Loving that my students are engaged using vertical surfaces. It was a great afternoon to have fun with trig identities! Western Québec Hadley Jr. / Philemon Wright High School uOttawa Education

Another great day in PED4194 Senior Biology uOttawa Education .. The stomata lab is always a hit and it's a great entry point for talking about how plants are dynamic and challenge "plant blindness."

Really enjoying the activity stations of PED 4194 (Sr biology) uOttawa Education . From shoreline erosion to the microbiology of yeast, students are thinking outside the box about activities for students in the Ontario biology classroom and they're superb!

It was a real honor to receive the Part-time Professor Award of Excellence today uOttawa Education Congratulations to my colleagues who also recieved various awards! We are a great team.

Come to see my school band play on May 9th! It will be a very lovely concert!

An annual tradition for my PED 3131 class! Pumpkin explosions 🎃 youtu.be/CICCNReNi4k?fe…

I'm so glad to have spoken with Deana Sumanac-Johnson at CBC News this evening about the research and experiences of teachers in regards to student incivility. It's an ongoing issue for classroom teachers and professors working with teacher candidates. cbc.ca/player/play/vi…

It was a pleasure to chat with Ian Hanomansing on Cross Country Checkup about student incivility and the dynamics of teaching. Thank you for having me on the show ! cbc.ca/listen/live-ra…

Did any of my Canadian university colleagues and friends receive or know someone who received the email reportedly sent to non-US academics inquiring as to whether their research was DEI, climate change, or gender focused (among other things)?

Looking for a graduate course this fall Université d'Ottawa | University of Ottawa at the Faculty of Education? Consider EDU5123 - Issues in Science Education! We'll be looking at issues ranging from science denialism to the negation of Indigenous knowledges -- and how to challenge these problems schools!
