The year I started going to concerts… and now, off to Toronto to repeat the OC (original concert) 40 years later!

The ATA’s announcement of teachers soundly rejecting a contract offer and heading for a strike coincided with the last-in person Alberta Next panel in Calgary.

A high school student tried to ask the panel about it … and what happened next sent everyone chasing after a 17 year old IB student #AbLeg

Without some amazing teachers throughout the years I would have NEVER become a doctor.
Without the amazing PUBLIC education system I wouldn't be where I am today (my family could NOT have afforded private eductation streams).

I stand with our teachers and for our future students!

'Vicious compliance': Alberta premier decries Edmonton Public Schools' banned book list | CBC News Alberta Premier Danielle Smith slammed the Edmonton Public School Board Friday morning for its banned book list, which features more than 200 titles.

It may be true that Edmonton Public Schools (EPS) has been too supine in complying with the provincial dictat.

But let's not that deflect attention from she who issued the dictat and now complains she was misunderstood.

EPS may have done us all a favour

Exciting 2b taking part in a pre-HEIRNET symposium, sponsored by Canadian colleagues, exploring ways in which historical thinking models (such as Seixas’) need revising (if they do). Exciting 2b working with 49 history educators from 19 countries today! @lsgibson.bsky.social @carlapeck.bsky.social

Quote: "If CUPE is successful, it would have a galvanizing effect, sending a message to workers across the country that they can stand up not only to their bosses, but to the state, in order to improve their labour circumstances."
