What happens when teachers have the resources to infuse more collaboration, meaning, and fun into their lessons? Learning becomes more engaging—and sticks better! 🙌

@Harvard @natwexler By reading widely on a topic, students will build a rich foundation of vocabulary and thematic knowledge, enhancing their ability to understand related texts. For ideas on bringing background knowledge into your classroom, check out the article: https://t.co/86TZu1qbKZ 10/10

Traditional approaches to reading instruction—such as finding the “main idea”—are less effective than a knowledge-rich approach, the research shows.

Isn't this the government that tried to do away with school divisions entirely? Then removed their ability to set mill rates? Then clawed back division funding year after year? And now they want favours? Any damage to Sask. education rests squarely with you, @jeremycockrill.
Education minister sends letter asking school board trustees for support: Jeremy Cockrill wrote a letter asking school board trustees "to help make the case" for the government's position in negotiations with teachers. #sask #sasked #skpoli

This term I have been exploring ways to implement structured playful experiences. With the help of @coriknelsen and the kiskinwahamatok framework, I have developed small group focus centers that meet students skills and combine a literacy target with play! 🧸

When students are pushed beyond their comfort zone to solve problems that are hard—but still within their ability—learning outcomes improve. How do you find this sweet spot? 🍭
