Solving teacher shortages depends on coming together around shared aspirations for children. #onted #cdned #edchat theconversation.com/solving-teache…
In 2024-2025, Ontario will have 4,990 fewer classroom educators than it would have had if the funding formula hadn’t changed since 2018-19. Public education isn't being funded properly and students and staff are paying the price. #onted #cdned #edchat monitormag.ca/articles/ontar…
Cue the distractions from the massive education cuts buried in yesterday's education budget release. #onted #cdned #edchat thestar.com/politics/provi…
Every. Single. One. #onted
Board staff push back on trustees' request for school safety data, saying it's a big ask! For god sake, #tvdsb just give them the information. What do you have to hide? We all know school violence is spiraling out of control! #onted #cdned #edchat lfpress.com/news/local-new…
N.W.T. teachers, gov't sign deal for salary increase after nearly a year of bargaining. They will receive 12% over three years. #onted #cdned #edchat cbc.ca/news/canada/no…
Toll taken on teachers in Saskatchewan is becoming too much. A Saskatoon teacher wants Saskatchewan people to consider the future for her profession if the issues in education are not addressed. #sked #onted #cdned #edchat thestarphoenix.com/opinion/column…
THIS!!!
Due to ongoing staff shortages, the #wcdsb has been forced to reassign music teachers to fill empty classroom positions. Until working conditions dramatically improve, staffing g shortages will only worsen. #onted #cdned #edchat therecord.com/news/waterloo-…

33K Followers 3K Following Founder EKOS Research. Adjunct Research Professor, Department of Sociology and Anthropology Carleton University . Views are personal not those of EKOS Research.Even as an EA I can confirm that this takes away from student learning, which is why we need more EAs to assist with academic needs and more SNAs to assist with special needs & behavioural challenges. We also need more teachers and smaller class sizes.
@Teachers__Unite This year I probably spend about 40-50% dealing with behaviour disruptions. Very little to no extra support. It is exhausting
@Teachers__Unite Compound with the need to evacuate the class because of the behaviour equals more teaching time lost and traumatized students and teachers.
@Teachers__Unite Absolutely, and there is the mental health component to consider as well. It’s not healthy to be exposed to ongoing aggression.
@_u_s_c @Teachers__Unite So far this year I’ve been told to F#^* off at least 100 times, I’ve been threatened with scissors, I’ve had a chair thrown at me at least three times, I’ve been shoved about a dozen times at a K-6 school but sure there aren’t any behaviour problems with students
This is the REAL story, folks!!
In 2024-2025, Ontario will have 4,990 fewer classroom educators than it would have had if the funding formula hadn’t changed since 2018-19. Public education isn't being funded properly and students and staff are paying the price. #onted #cdned #edchat monitormag.ca/articles/ontar…
@Teachers__Unite Not just that.With classes filled with behavior problems, the learning is often stifled with pen and paper activities So there is the real lesson stopping bad behavior and there is also the lessons that don't happen because of the possibility of chaos. They can't take the chance
@Teachers__Unite If there’s a positive to be had here, it’s that I’ll have less marking to do. 😉
@Teachers__Unite And its the highest needs students that are being shortchanged the most
This is one the real issues!

“Instead of engaging in meaningful discussions about the future of education in Ontario, we find ourselves entangled in pointless quarrels over the latest out-of-touch remarks from the premier or the education minister. This year, it’s cell phones.” monitormag.ca/articles/ontar…
@Teachers__Unite I’d say it’s more than 20% of the day.
