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?"

How to Get Students to Focus on Learning—Not Grades

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 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.

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:

The Alberta Government isn’t allowing citizens under the age of 18 to complete the curriculum survey online. There is one outlet for these individuals to voice their legitimate concerns:

Are you <18 and frustrated that the #abed survey doesn’t allow your feedback on the curriculum. Visit kidsdeservebetter.ca and share your feedback with us in the NDP. We’ll pass it along to ⁦@jkenney⁩ and the #ableg.
