Protip for 24-25: learn about brainrot humour before entering a classroom this year. Just got a 45 minute lesson from my son. It’s … enlightening
How should we deal with extreme #AI risks? In this new co-authored paper for Science, "we outline a comprehensive plan that combines technical research and development (R&D) with proactive, adaptive governance mechanisms for a more commensurate preparation". READ IT IN FULL>>…

Agreed, many systems are now more data-rich than ever, but sometimes tilt to being data-demeaning. The flashlight analogy is a great way to think about our partnerships in responding to our children and our problems of practice
Reading research is not a replacement for direct practice either. You can read all the research you like but when you’re out there on your own be it in teaching or leadership, you’re going to need way more than the innards of a research journal to actually do the job well.
There’s a lot of good research to suggest that the rise and integration of digital writing skills has affected a decline in literacy skills. Though typing is essential, the mind-body benefits of learning writing stamina and independence are foundational.
“As you’re drawing a letter or writing a word, you’re taking this perceptual understanding of something and using your motor system to create it. That creation is then fed back into the visual system, where it’s processed again.” (Sophia Vinci-Booher, Sci Am, May, 2024)

The Ontario government is poised to crack down on cellphone use in schools with an announcement coming Sunday, a government source confirmed to CBC Toronto.
I’ve been devouring Haidt’s new book. His research on social media’s impact on mental health is profound. Phone-based childhood is a root to so much of our ailments.
Thanks to Dr. Becky Kennedy, for talking with me about The Anxious Generation and what parents can do to give their kids a healthier childhood in the digital age: open.spotify.com/episode/18QNJY…
Suffering and adversity was a blessing early in my career. I didn’t see it then, but without that struggle I would have learned nothing and have no foundation.
I had one of the best days yesterday attending @TruroMiddle’s Advocacy Fair. I had a dozen impassioned conversations with students on topics around identity, disease, animal rights, reconciliation and much more.. so much for the June slowdown… every school should take note WOW
I thought that last call from my grandmother was a little clunky …
When you’re on the road all the time for @CCRCE_NS sometimes you feel a bit lost in the shuffle. today at GR Saunders, Ms. Horton’s class, where I’ve been a few times, invited me to join in their tradition of putting handprints on the wall with the class. I cried.
A group of @redclifftweets educators represented all staff and students of Redcliff Middle School at the University of Ottawa with over 50 schools across the nation @PlayJouerCanada conference
Assessment is often the greatest challenge for educators to hit out of the park. It can feel abstract and time-consuming when going formative. The bottom line is that personal, human-to-human feedback is king. And guiding learners on how to respond to feedback is 90% of it all.
GPTPrompt: Using the Grade 7 SS curriculum design a unit of study on the outcome evaluating the impact of Confederation on the Mi’kmaq. Create a range of activities using differentiated instruction and UDL. Build formative assessments for each task and design a rubric for it all.
Yesterday I put 25 pieces of writing into GPT and asked it to score them using the Nova Scotia analytic writing rubric and also give me personalized feedback and teaching support strategies for each child. It took 5 seconds and was embarrassingly better than me.
Why are so many writing lessons about self-inflicted forms(stories, poems, essays)? The best writing we have today is created through hyper-collaborative methods(TV scripts/game scenarios/narrative podcasts)... My favorite writing lessons all stemmed from collaborative interplay
