It’s a balmy 25 degrees Celsius in my class this week when the heating system kicked in. Outside it’s 11. Suggestions to save money in public education: Let me turn my own heat down instead of putting in a work order and taking days to weeks to turn down the heat.

Over 100 School Reps in one room tonight — showing what solidarity looks like in action. Proud to represent colleagues who lead, listen, and lift each other up. #NSTU #UnionStrong

The number of educators at #ITCamp2025 says it all. These are people who love what they do—spending time learning, collaborating, + getting *fired up* with new ideas to bring back to their learners. The energy of fun + learning at this conference is palpable. Huge shoutout to the coordinators!

There’s not many feelings better than doing what others told you was impossible. #dbcincbooks #tlap #leadlap #EduSky #success #SuccessSecrets

Mind blown by #AnoukWipprecht !Opening keynote at #ITCamp2025 was captivating + inspiring! Dresses that react, prosthetics that empower, and brainwaves that could change education. Art + STEM + creativity = Tech couture at its finest.

Smaller class sizes. More training in areas teachers identify as what they need. Parental support. Student effort + accountability. Proper resources to deliver programming to meet student needs and interests. Updated buildings + classrooms. #PublicEducation #FixOurSchools

Honouring Indigenous heritage. Celebrating Indigenous voices. Committing to action beyond today. #NIPD

Very interesting info! Informal survey on FB Middle School #BandDirectors group - Concerts - during contract hours? - outside contract hours? - outside contract hours AND PAID for it? (!) Results in the pics #MusicEducationMatters
