I read George Couros’ book, The Innovator's Mindset, and enjoyed his storytelling as well as many thought provoking moments. I want to explore one of his ideas with you: what if they made us do worksheets at PD? robertkaplinsky.com/what-if-they-m… #iteachmath #MTBoS

Breakfast Television Most people aren’t ready to hear this, but we need to completely re-think the entire concept of marks. They’ve become the focus over actual learning, to an extent that is extremely harmful to students’ mental health.

Pssst. Retakes are not about grading. They are about learning. Pass it on. #Project180

If learning is the value, then the value is learning. Not grading. #Project180

Out of sight, out of good ideas Stephen Lecce ? Did you even ask a teacher about your complex plan? Doug Ford #teacher #ontario #cellphoneban

My last Lyft driver: I'm in awe of how people can understand math... I gave up on math after 8th gr. I meet so many people who volunteer that they don't like/understand math, yet I still see some people vehemently advocate for teaching math the way that got us here.

Under the new formula, kindergarten will have to make do with 1,600 fewer staff. Grades 4 to 8 will have almost 1,000 fewer staff. Grades 9 to 12 will lose almost 2,600 positions. Table 1 below presents the board-by-board losses. monitormag.ca/articles/ontar…

Instead of, “Is he passing?” Let’s try, “Is he learning?” Our conversation will never move on from the pass-fail construct, until our questions move on. Let’s move on. We can do better. #Project180

"You can't let kids use resources on tests." Sure you can. This year, can't less and can more. #Project180

I had the privilege of visiting Spirit Island this past summer (just before the Jasper fire) amazing place! So sad about Jasper. I wish all the people of Jasper the very best as they rebuild. Met some incredible people!

Yet another accident on Argyle, and no one is directing traffic again #caledonia #opp

When we talk about teaching, we're talking about what adults will do. Shifting our conversations from the word "teaching" to the word "learning" puts our focus on what the job is really all about. The first small baby step for designing learning for all kids in the room.
