Age-appropriate sex education is critical for young people’s health.
Evidence shows that young people are more likely to delay having sex, and if they do have sex, practice safer sex, when they are better informed about sexual health and their rights 👉

The best students relax when real discipline is present because the troublemakers no longer have all the power. Order is the most important job of a teacher and it leads to learning and joy. Teachers who refuse to address misbehavior often cloak it in false compassion.

If you're looking for an authoritative book on homework then look no further than this from @Dr_Castelino. It's useful for teachers but as a parent I found it even more useful.

Winnipeg Mayor Brian Bowman tweets pic of handshake with #JimmyCarter today at Habitat for Humanity site, says 'honoured' to work with him.

Seven years ago, I got to interview Jimmy Carter for @WinnipegNews. It was one of the coolest things I’ve ever gotten to do in my career. I was wildly nervous, but was charming and very present with me, even just a day after he’d collapsed in the heat. What a life.

Many teachers are very surprised when they learn how much actual explicit instruction is in an Explicit Direct Instruction lesson.

"Teachers direct and closely monitor students' learning - a reversal of the failed fad of "student-directed learning" that expected students to 'lead their own learning journey."

When a teacher has command of her classroom, it’s orderly, calm, inviting; the kids are happy, productive, engaged in work
When they don’t, it’s chaotic, stressful, loud; the kids are stressed and unhappy.
Adult authority is not oppressive but an essential part of any school

I’ve received many resources on how to improve inquiry-based teaching, and I do appreciate it. I promise I take the time to read them. But why are we putting so much effort into fixing this approach when we already know what works best which is explicit instruction? (1/3)

@WabKinew @Cross4Seine Our children need ABA and classroom teachers need more supports to take care of the 1/36 children born with autism. Please check out Jamie Peddler's call for a National Autism Plan. I urge our province to act now. youtube.com/live/f-l3BGW11MQ…
