AI Is Changing Teaching, But Few Labor Contracts Reflect It Classroom educators are using artificial intelligence to help with their work, yet union agreements have not caught up.

Educators know AI brings both risks and opportunities. That’s why NEA and AFT are advancing contract language and guidance to make sure AI supports—not undermines—teaching and learning.

Cell phone bans fail when not partnered with renewed focus on relationship building and collaborative learning. Learning will accelerate when collective creativity is developed to apply learned concept on real world scenarios e.g., UN sustainability goals.

The right has no creative talent.
Creatives see the puppet strings and find humorous ways to reveal them.

We've now arrived at the Tiananmen Square phase of the Trump administration

I can’t wait. What better way to explore the history of education than through the lived experience of a reflective educator who has seen it all? @areaedresearch.bsky.social

My new book, out on Canada Day. Canada launched me in 1987 but Britain had built me. What we learn and do in early career sets up the bigger stage in the years ahead. @alisonpeacock.bsky.social @jonsevers.bsky.social @dutaut.bsky.social

This is something only scum would do

The route to sustainably will only be found in the intersections of our racial and social diversity!

It’s our best chance for innovations that will help us catch up to change.

I don’t know of any scholars of repute that promotes a knowledge rich curricular priory. Could you send me information on a jurisdiction that is pushing this curriculum, perhaps send me a policy pdf?

Wait... is this the best meme ever made?

The super wealthy need to pay a much bigger tax. It’s crazy that the meek are attacking the meek.

Right idea. You can’t spit into the wind and not get wet.

Look familiar?

Agreed in those instances. Whatever you do, don’t encourage larger school boards. Kids lose. Also be wary of the loss of boards for regional centres. Education needs many voices!

My X account is still down

Merging school boards is not the solution and you will not see any of 2. You need to retain the school board to student ratio. Anything that reduces regional voice will only hurt schools and students. Can’t you acknowledge that your boards are simply underfunded. Catholic boards / separate issue.

If you’re gonna grift a nation, better get some good sleep!

What are some toxic manifestations of fear that leaders exhibit? @kimberleycanada.bsky.social @alexusherhesa.bsky.social @naht.org.uk

If only every teacher and administrator knew this and shifted their focus from tardiness & time on task to culture building. @bctf.bsky.social @mbteachers.bsky.social @tamarhuggins.bsky.social

Do you know a teacher who has experienced this? Andy's new book will be a must-read for teachers and educational leaders. @mbteachers.bsky.social @onepublicedontario.bsky.social @opcouncil.bsky.social

Fact: without #creativity, #math has little reason to exist.

If #schools wanna increase math scores, get kids to be more creative then they have something to “math”about.

I can’t agree more. This aligns with my grounded findings on innovative leaders.

Trump’s inaugural address centers on pledge to lift a country in ‘decline’ In his second Inaugural Address, the president reprised dark themes from his first and laid out an expansive policy agenda.

President Trump's inaugural address was a misleading assessment of the U.S. It has a growing economy, falling inflation, slowing illegal immigration, a record-breaking stock market, the lowest levels of violent crime in years and a military that has limited engagement in conflicts around the world.
