“Too often we underestimate the power of a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring all of which have the potential to turn a life around.” Leo Buscaglia

Choose kindness.

So grateful to be back at the BCEDL conference (the 22nd!). We are sharing our culture with others who understand our context, which is something we sometimes struggle to find in our home districts because of the differences between in-person and online learning. 🌿 #BCEDL #DLSymp25

8 Small But Impactful Classroom Management Shifts How using subtle gestures, spatial awareness, and tone of voice can nudge your classroom toward smoother operations.

There’s no silver bullet to keeping students on track and disruptions at bay—a 2021 study notes that being an effective teacher “requires the adaptive application of a repertoire of different classroom management strategies.”

A1: Speak up. I know it sounds simple, but speaking up to advocate for others who are being dismissed or insulted is the first step to giving them a voice when they may not have one. It can be done respectfully, but ensuring everyone is considered when decisions are made. #LeadLAP

Among other things, learning about mis-information involves understanding HOW misinformation is delivered… WHAT comprises misinformation… and WHY misinformation is done. What else should be covered? #edchat @tomwhitby.bsky.social @aggieashley.bsky.social

Powerful reminder. 🙌

Excited to be learning from and with Len Pierre in our qathet School District Professional Development Day today. 🧡

"Where We're From." I am from calm lakes and rough seas, from loud colours and painted CD’s. I am from playing outside with friends and crafting with glue & sequins. I am from the warmth of a home. From the bright blue light of the TV screen. I am from cold, huge mountains, Sunday church & staying home with family at Christmas. I am from packed bags all through the summer. I am from the windows, high in the sky. I am from gazing at meteor showers and family movie nights. I am from broken hearts and sad faces. I am from watching sunsets float below the horizon. I am from family nights. From crowded malls and magical gardens, from crispy grass, tiny flowers and weeds. I am from the cities and mountains. I am from my protective family tree, of soldiers and love. I am from a hospital! I am from dogs; I play with them day and night. I am from tall mountains and calm lakes. I am from the dragon that flies in the sea. From sticky, sleepy summers. That is where I’m from, and that is who I am.

We love this idea from 5th-grade teacher Iliana Sucre: “We each wrote a poem based on George Lyon’s poem ‘Where I’m From’ and then picked our favourite line to make a whole-class poem. This is where we are from!” 🧡

What line would you add? #EdChat

So happy to have you here in the CV and looking forward to the time spent in person today!

My to-do list instead of a Tobe list and there are lots of different cartoons with ideas on how to be for example curious loving joyful to change for giving confident patient kind embracing self intuitive generous kind (Picture by therapywithkimv)

Remember, we are human beings, not human doings - our real value lies in who we are, and that is more than enough.

What’s on your To Be list? 🧡
