Teams 102 and 104 kindergarten learners are having the best water day @TDSB_JoycePS .We are having a blast .💦@SoniaCallea @trinimako1 @CS_Pinkney
@Queenieteach @jdeq @Queenieteach Halo! the unroll you asked for: threadreaderapp.com/thread/1671509… Talk to you soon. 🤖
NEW - Quite the back-and-forth between the opposition leader and Premier. Marit Stiles asks if the Premier will recognize the role climate change is playing in the wildfires. Ford doesn’t, instead he accuses Stiles of politicizing the fires.
Kindergarten learners in rooms 102 &104 visited the seniors from Villa Charities located close to Joyce PS community .We sang our favourite songs and distributed cards made specially for our seniors . We all left smiling and filled with joy . @CS_Pinkney @trinimako
@ChandraPasma @Sflecce students are waiting two years for a speech assessment and then have to wait two more years after the assessment to get therapy. Kids who need a psychoeducational assessment are waiting 3-4 yrs. You have to be a minimum of two years behind to get math or reading support
One of our staff members Ms Kat is actively involved in supporting this traditional Pow-Wow, being held a few weekends from now, at Fort York on the 17th. This event will feature traditional dancing, drumming and much more all in support of the Native Men’s Residence downtown.
I’ve trimmed this video (this mouse was staring at the teacher for a good minute). Do you have mice in your classroom as audacious as this one? Comment 👇 when we cut caretakers, the maintenance around the school suffers @tdsb #healthandsafety #onted #onlab @ElemTeachersTO
Please read this statement from the ONDP Education Critic, @ChandraPasma. The Premier of Ontario needs to get real and address the urgent and vital issue of violence in #onted. #onpoli

We hosted a wonderful Welcome to Kindergarten event and met many of our new students and families. Thank you staff for hosting such a wonderful opportunity! It was also super to have childcare staff and Early On! staff with us all also. @SoniaCallea @orellana_ivett @trinimako1

The name of this Act is BETTER SCHOOLS AND STUDENT OUTCOMES ACT, 2023. The word student appears in these 18 pages 34 times. 17 of those times are the name of the act. 1 of those times is referring to teacher education candidates.
Second point: building schools faster. I couldn’t find anything at all about building any new schools but Pages 8-10 discuss how the Ministry is going to take control of board’s real estate and the regulations around that. 🤔
The first item: better outcomes tied to higher student achievement relating to reading, writing, and math. The ONLY reference to reading, writing, and math can be found on Page 16. Catch here: it’s referring to teacher education candidates, not students. 🤔
🧵I just finished reading the 18 page Better Schools And Student Outcomes Act (Bill 98). @Sflecce keeps making these claims outlined below in his clip. As I was reading the Bill, I searched really hard to find reference to all of these items. 🤷🏼♀️

Short thread about the announcement made by @Sflecce this morning. Once upon a time, long ago, the Ministry of Education decided that they would invest in math coaches and later in literacy coaches. There was extra programming provided for schools that didn’t score as well on /2
Earlier today, the Minister of Education tabled legislation to do a so-called ‘refocus’ of the #onted system and improve outcomes for students. READ ETFO's STATEMENT on this new announcement etfo.ca/news-publicati… #onpoli
The Ford government's decision to overhaul the language curriculum without consulting #onted stakeholders shows how little they understand the public education system and value educators. Making critical curricular decisions without input from educators who are in classrooms…
When was the last time you heard 2 kindergarteners read out a lengthy announcement? Everyone at Joyce PS heard just that minutes ago. Our 2 young stars were amazing on the mic and got their message out clearly and confidently! Bravo! #youngreaders @orellana_ivett @SoniaCallea

@karenosstf Not to mention the “back to basics” thing really doesn’t make sense overall. I’m not a teacher but I think the # of curriculum changes are ridiculous. I also don’t think parents are the only ppl to consult here- teachers teach for a reason. Are they consulted more?
@karenosstf Our kids don't need more people who aren't really teachers trying to teach them. So many parents coming into classrooms pretending to be teachers already. It's cheaper to pay these non-teachers but our kids deserve real teachers.

Would I get in trouble for saying #DougFord is an awful premier who also appears to be a pretty terrible person? Okay, I won't say it. #onpoli #ForestFires #ClimateChangeIsReal
We won’t forget that Doug Ford’s Conservatives cut 67% from the Ontario Emergency Forest Firefighting budget and are fighting to reverse them. Wildfires have been a reality for northern Ontarians for years, and it’s getting worse. Ontario is short 50 fire crews. #onpoli

@mckenzie_tab My dad is a retired principal - mid 70’s as well. Cannot recall this in his time either. We all understand indoor recess when it rains. Today the weather is cooler but imagine when the temps rise again if the air isn’t clear. Classrooms will be hothouses!
