Our family’s experience with rare, late age regressive autism and the too common struggle for support from the Ontario Autism Program

KCC is a school, therapy centre, camp, and so much more. Having a disabled child isnt easy, but having KCC's support has been a game changer for emmett and our family. please consider donating.

We attended an accessible Halloween event where the street was closed to cars, tables were at the sidewalk, and there were both food and non-food options. My autistic son used #PECS and a button to #trickortreat! https://t.co/WiRRvYKQ3y @treataccessibly #treataccessibility

Thursday March 31st is International Transgender Day of Visibility. TDOV was created to raise visibility of, and to listen to and uplift voices and experiences of transgender, gender-nonconforming and non-binary people.

Students used square tiles to build the first five terms of a growing pattern where the fifth term had exactly 18 squares. Our virtual learner worked on a Jamboard, where I then uploaded other student work to consolidate the different strategies we used.

If any Ontario elementary educators are looking for way for students to self-assess their learning skills, I've got you:

We started a new #EDUProtocols in math today so students’ minds are on well I turn on the tech. I already have such great insight around concepts that need more teaching and love that students will get to practice thinking about numbers flexibly on a daily basis.

Students designed a class flag. A star to represent our unique identities, tie dye rainbow to represent our diversity, and the Wilson basketball to represent our unity.

We’re well on our way to becoming a #thinkingclassroom - with some modifications for social distancing and hybrid learning @pgliljedahl students are beginning to use the dice to see how many times I shuffle the groups before sending them to work on @Wipebook #jamboard

What an uplifting take on virtual teaching in EVS from: Radkhika Bhatt (@rbhatt2000), Vanessa Bianchi (@EvolvingEdu), Alexis Wilson (@AllAccessWilson) and Jonathan Carr (@jonathanwcarr1). If you missed Thursday's #OnEdMentors, listen to the archive: https://t.co/oS5TZwRsdy #EDU

I@JonathanWCarr1 on @TheMentoree talking about teaching online by focusing on "doing what I do well; and that's caring for students" regardless of new challenges #OnEdMentors

We could DEBATE the best things to bring back to the classroom from virtual teaching, but it's better to listen to our panel and decide for yourself. Tune in to #OnEdMentors at 9pm EST tonight. Please tweet your take-aways, and add to the conversation. #BacktoSchool2021 #EDU

Excited to reconnect with some YRDSB EVS pals this Thursday from 9-10pm on the @TheMentoree podcast!

I’ve been listening to the audiobook of “Building Thinking Classrooms in Mathematics” by @pgliljedahl while driving to drop my son at camp and I’m pumped for the school year about how many of these practices can be safely implemented in my grade 6 hybrid classroom!

I just read about the new #DocumentReview feature and love the inclusive language suggestions. I’m excited to have my students critically analyze their work and Google’s suggestions to further disrupt biases in language @GoogleForEdu #GoogleEdu

Today a student taught me how to draw straight lines in jamboard by holding down shift when using the pen tool. Did you know? @JakeMillerTech @VirtualGiff @GiftedTawk #GoogleEDU #Jamboard #GoogleJamboard

Inspired by @mfrank_76 duck hatching cam, my students wanted a live cam with a pet of our own. I have set up a google meet with the code wilsonlilies . 3 out of 8 lilies are opened already and the next 5 should be opening any time now! @EVS_YRDSB #EVSLearning @YRDSBoutdoorEd
