#NBE3C used Canva to research and create #multimodal #infographics around an #Indigenous #socialjustice issue of their choice Toronto Catholic District School Board TCDSB Indigenous Ed, Equity & Community Relations #tcdsb

Advocacy starts in the classroom! #CatholicTeacherFeature Super inspired💫 by Mario Mabrucco's class project, allowing his students to flex their interdisciplinary skills of research, writing, & design to spotlight current Indigenous social justice issues!

#NBE3C students are examining #Indigenous made #videogames on itch.io to critique the ludonarrative structure and assess the quality of their representations 🎮 Toronto Catholic District School Board Monsignor Percy Johnson Catholic Secondary School TCDSB Indigenous Ed, Equity & Community Relations #tcdsb

Taught this student 5 years ago at Mary Ward; honoured that she still remembers me 😊 The students who thank you for their success are often the ones who needed you the least, but appreciate you the most. Toronto Catholic District School Board #tcdsb

Nothing like marking 90 exams to make me want to blow up the system and start from scratch! Tyler Rablin gives a great framework for a fresh approach ⬇️⬇️⬇️

Great PD on the new #MentalHealth modules for #GLC2O from School Mental Health Ontario 🧠 ❤️ Glad to see mental health literacy on the rise amongst staff! Toronto Catholic District School Board #tcdsb

#ENL1W students using group annotations to analyze character in "The Marrow Thieves". Every day, we add what we learned in our reading & annotating from the day before ✏️ 📚 Toronto Catholic District School Board #tcdsb

"LLMs fundamentally can't replicate how people actually think and write about their own lives" - because LLMs do not actually read, write, or have lives. Maybe Ss will stop using AI if they stop thinking it's akin to magic.

Put up some Beautiful Language from #ENGU #poetry and they were all agog. All started complimenting and questioning each other's writing with pride. Finding and sharing 1 line I liked from each poem was a valuable exercise in empathy. Toronto Catholic District School Board #tcdsb

Great representation from our Trading Card Game and D&D Clubs at Club Fair! 🗡️ 🧙🏾‍♀️⚡🧟 Toronto Catholic District School Board Dungeons & Dragons Magic: The Gathering #tcdsb #MagicTheGathering #dungeonsanddragons

Incredible investment by our #literacy team in #CRRP #bookclubs - over 100 copies of culturally diverse texts for our school. We know voice + choice = engagement...time to put theory into practice! 📚 📖 Toronto Catholic District School Board #tcdsb

#dungeonsanddragons & #MagicTheGathering clubs were well-attended at our Club Fair! Makes my little nerd heart happy ❤️🧙⚔️ Magic: The Gathering Dungeons & Dragons Toronto Catholic District School Board #tcdsb

Yes, this is a #writing prompt. #ENG3U students brought in a mix of in/organic materials and will brainstorm tactile, haptic connections between the item and our play. Can't wait to see how they rise to the challenge. Toronto Catholic District School Board #tcdsb

Leveraging the iterative process and using #feedback to reassess the most recent example of learning is basic #pedagogy, but students still see it as a form of divine intervention. "Try this again" should not be revolutionary! Toronto Catholic District School Board #tcdsb

Some days, teaching is incredibly difficult and thankless...other days, you get messages like this 💜 Eternally grateful for my students & colleagues at North York General Hospital, all those years ago. Toronto Catholic District School Board North York General #tcdsb #nygh

Great examples of the hexagonal thinking exercise from Cult of Pedagogy - #ENG3U were struggling to connect broad concepts with textual specifics, so why not make literal connections instead? 🧠 ↔️ Toronto Catholic District School Board #tcdsb
