What Stephen Lecce needs to understand is that #etfo #osstf #oecta and #aefo have drawn a line. And we are going to continue to walk the line and hold the line because quality public education in Ontario is worth fighting for.

Dear Teachers - We are sorry for how Stephen Lecce and Doug Ford are behaving. For all of the upcoming shows we have set aside blocks of tickets for you to come as our guests. Some are almost full, but we will make it work, because that’s what you all do for the kids. DM PLS

Because inclusion without support is abandonment. The students needing the support are abandoned. The classmates whose env & learning are impacted are abandoned. The teachers left trying desperately to meet everyone’s needs without the needed supports are abandoned. #ETFOstrong

We’d rather be teaching, but kids are important. #etfo #ETFOproud #etfostrong

Reading Week well spent. A week of slowly exploring the northern Ontario backcountry.

If it's true that the government's negotiating team made #aefo wait 6 hours yesterday, nobody can possibly claim that they want to make a deal. Stop this farce! #etfo #osstf #oecta

With heavy hearts we have made the decision to cancel our Indigenous Education and Math Conference. HOWEVER, we are delighted that we will be offering the conference next year from Friday April 30 to Sunday May 2, 2021 at Lakehead University Orillia. More details to come!

I love that so many teachers are providing flexible deadlines and resubmissions because of the chaos and trauma kids are facing right now. I would also encourage teachers to extend this practice once things are "normal," because chaos and trauma aren't isolated to the pandemic.

A big tyou to Librarian @LislSchoner for creating this beautiful message to our Algoma University students who after a crazy three weeks - moving online - will begin their exams this week. Inspired by Iroquois Falls Secondary School. Pass it on. youtube.com/watch?v=BU3lzE…

There may not be a f2f OAME/AOEM conf this year but we have a paired down Virtual #OAME2020 that is FREE to all teachers 30 Live Sessions over 15 prerecorded sessions See the whole program at oame2020.ca/virtual-oame sponsored by Texas Instruments Education #mathchat #MTBoS #ITeachMath

In Ontario, the minister of education holds a socially distanced press conference to announce social distancing is not necessary in Ontario classrooms.

Sorry Stephen Lecce wants to give up prep time in the middle of an entirely new way of teaching? Will nurses also record on charts at home? Police do their reports at home too? Does the contractor bring the walls home unpaid and fix them there? HONESTLY.

My aunt is a dispatcher for the RCMP and is fluent in Cree, she has had to speak Cree on multiple occasions at work. She does not get paid extra for being bilingual, however her coworkers who speak French do.... something about that doesn’t sit right with me.

Chaotic good over here

Thanks for the Emergency Alert on all our phones telling us to "Stay At Home" Unfortunately, we were all in class at school so it was a slight disruption to our safe learning environment.
