This government continues to allow publicly funded schools to crumble-the buildings themselves as well as the people within them. #OntEd students deserve so much better.

Kids deserve access to the settings and equipment that meet their needs, regardless of their family’s income level. They deserve access to specialized and highly trained staff to support their learning, even if their parents can’t advocate in English or at all.

What would need to change so that we could double the number of educational assistants and child and youth workers in schools? How could we reallocate existing funding to make this happen? Something has to give. Front line support for students needs to come first. #OntEd

Don't let Bill 23 kill the countryside line. We can build new housing while protecting renters and the environment. Send a message to our leaders now! #watreg #kwawesome #wrawesome #onpoli act.holdthelinewr.org via @holdthelineWR

Please share with caregivers who may need some support getting started with School-Day. It includes instructions for how to use the mobile app in English, Arabic, Persian, Spanish, Ukrainian, Punjabi, Vietnamese, Tigrinya, and Gujarati. docs.google.com/presentation/d… #WRDSBMLL

Behaviour can result when you don't have ways to communicate what you feel or what you need. Use visuals to help! #DLD #communication #SLP #schoolSLP #autism #visuals #aac

Use reinforcement games to quickly and effectively target phonological awareness skills with individual children or in small groups. These games provide multiple opportunities to practice in a fun way- with the added bonus of learning social turn taking skills!

Reading is not natural, it needs to be explicitly taught especially for our struggling & #dylexic Ss. Also practice also makes permanent as @debglaser said in top10tools & for many students, especially dyslexics those neural pathways need many repetitions. My son need 100s...

Just giving more work doesn’t necessarily mean more learning is happening. The best learning happens when students struggle and must rely on reasoning and problem solving. #LDwebinar

The way reading is taught in Ontario has left some students behind. Read how the @OntHumanRights #RightToRead inquiry is inspiring some administrators to change #literacy instruction in their boards:

Reading is NOT a natural process! It needs to be taught. Proper reading instruction includes 4 essential components: oral language, vocabulary, phoneme awareness, and alphabet knowledge. #LDwebinar
