Teachers see it all the time: students (and parents) who are obsessed with grades. Here are four strategies that can shift the focus from "What grade did I get?" to "What did I learn?"

Teachers are awesome! And so are the school personnel and administrators. Thanks for the care you demonstrate to Alberta's Children, always, and particularly this year.
Never been more proud to be part of this profession. @jkenney @AdrianaLaGrange THIS is what professionalism & integrity looks like... what caring for students looks like... what our students deserve. And thnx to AB teachers, this is what students will get. ✊❤ @albertateachers

Systemic racism: is telling racialized communities that work for institutions that they can’t publicly speak about instances related to race, w/o first having those statements reviewed & approved by a hierarchical “leader” that doesn’t look like or understand you or your culture.

I'll add my name to the list of people willing to give ideas to support online learning! I've been teaching #grade4 #online since September using education tools for Google: classroom, meet, jamboard, slides, docs, etc. Happy to help!

I am subbing today in a wonderful class, and the teacher who I'm filling in for used the term "guest teacher" instead of sub. It's crazy how a simple change in wording can make me feel so much more welcomed and valued. Definitely taking this into my own practice.

Feeling fortunate to be part of #genxastrazeneca, but still feeling that Teachers, Fire Fighters, and Service Folks who are in public every day should have come first. Thanks to all the great AHS folks at the Exhibition Grounds for taking care of us.

My kids are great. You know why they’re great? I believe they are. In our rooms, kids become what we believe. We, then, should beware what we believe, for they become. And that begins long before they ever enter our rooms. #BelieveBetter #WhatWeSee #Project180

Today we learned that #abed students will lose universal access to the Online Reference Centre next year, as #ableg defunds this resource. As someone who has taught students in grades four through twelve, across many subject areas and unique learning needs, this breaks my heart:
