Today was our OSSTF D25 TBU PD day. Best PD day of the year. Had so much fun talking about the Science of Learning! Thanks to everyone on the Science Subject for organizing!

As a science teacher - having a lab tech.

Fantastic session on Understanding Attention by Andrew Watson. Especially loved the 'spiders' analogy for distractions we can't control - had one of the moments this past week :) #LatB66

David Daniels talk about developing a science of teaching reminded me of when the Min. of Ed. would provide funding so groups teachers could do research in their own classrooms. Wish we still had it. #LatB66 #onted

Listening to Dr. Elizabeth Kensinger talk about memory and forgetting and how it applies to learning. The fact that educators are not taught about this never ceases to amaze me.

Any other #onted peeps attending (virtually) Learning & the Brain The Science of Teaching & Learning conference this weekend? So many interesting sessions...good thing it's recorded!

In our latest piece in The Conversation Canada, Larry Savage and I argue that interest arbitration is a poor substitute for the right to strike. It demobilizes unions and does anti-union governments' work for them #canlab #onted #osstf #etfo #oecta #labourrights

Hey Ottawa peeps, the OSTA parent portal is up and running. After that email, I'm so relieved we have a bus.

This 'deal' is a bad idea...

NASA's fire map for Canada today. If you're teaching about climate change this year in any course, you might want to grab some screenshots. #onted

I get that making fun of the government gets a few laughs. But cursive writing isn't the joke you think it is. There is evidence that cursive writing improves memory and learning. It also benefits students with dyslexia and dysgraphia. Pick something else please.

Hey #onted law teachers - check this out.

Colleagues, can you please think carefully about the comments/learning skills you enter for your IEP students? Telling them to improve something that is literally the reason for their IEP (disability) is just so demoralizing and just not helpful.

Testing Lunar Rovers this week in #SNC1W . What changes would you make to allow the rover to travel farther and in a straight line?

This would make a great intro to homeostasis #SBI4U #onted bbc.com/news/health-63…

Impactful words by Carolyn Bertozzi today on how diversity in her trainees enabled creativity, not playing by the rules, and ultimately the work that built the field of bioorthogonal chemistry. Diverse science leads to better science!

Hey folks, if a student has duplicated notes as an accommodation in their IEP, isn't it the teacher's responsibility to provide them?

For all my Windsor peeps and for everyone who has ever heard me talk about how great Windsor pizza is ;).Tomorrow night at 8pm on CBC.

An insightful, mouth-watering examination of how the classic Windsor pizza has evolved | CBC News cbc.ca/news/canada/ot…

Good news - it looks like we have a bus this year! Bad news - pick-up is at 6:59 am. Sigh. We know that later start times are better for students. Curious, are any trustee candidates talking about this?
