Neuroplasticity was a foundational concept for our learning at my "Empowering Minds" ETFO Summer Academy. Very hopeful re: all of the new neural pathways being consciously built through mindful awareness... by these educators and their students! youtu.be/ELpfYCZa87g #ETFOsa21

I was inspired by this candidate's reflections on inclusion in ETFO's Special Education Part 2 AQ..... ETFO AQ #etfoaq #SpecialEducation Thank you Charlie Drabbant

One of the things I love about ETFO AQ courses are the Fresh Perspectives they offer. One of my candidates in the Special Education Part 2 ETFO AQ course found this great video on IEPs. Such a wonderful resource for teachers to share with families. ETFO AQ youtu.be/GFcUZ5IZiLU

In Spec. Ed part 2 we are learning about the importance of writing IEPs based on assessments. Documenting those strategies from psych reports under teaching strategies and assessments on the modified page is key! ETFO AQ

Please check with your Board to inquire about what subsidies might be available to you for Mathematics AQ Courses, Teaching Students with Communication Needs (ASD) & Additional Qualification courses related to First Nations, Métis and Inuit knowledge. Elementary Educators #onted

LE #1 in TSwCN-ASD course is wrapping up this Friday. We have already explored some A+ resources for teaching students with ASD. Candidates are digging deeper into the ministry document Effective Effective Educational Practices for Students with Autism Spectrum Disorder ETFO AQ

In TSwCN-ASD ETFO AQ we have been learning about effective evidence based strategies for students w/Autism. +ve reinforcement is a 🔑 ABA strategy that is important when teaching any students new skills. We know it is working when the behaviour we are targeting is increasing!

Feeling very grateful for the ETFO Aspire conference on Resilience today. Our guest speaker Tareq Hadhad has been so inspiring. My favourite quote: "You can play the role of a victim or you can plan the role of a victor" peacebychocolate.ca ETFO AQ #AspireToInspire

Is it just me or are these Apple TV Friday Night Baseball broadcasts almost unbearable to watch. I just cringe when I see I can’t watch the regular game broadcast and being forced to watch Apple’s horrid rendition of baseball broadcasting.#nomoreapplesports
