This is wonderful! Thank you @AllAccessWilson!
If any Ontario elementary educators are looking for way for students to self-assess their learning skills, I've got you: docs.google.com/document/d/1…

Students require time and and consideration when building learning skills. Educators do, too. We don’t all just know because we’re adults. Instead of assuming, be supportive. We all need to feel safe asking for help to develop and grow our skill sets. #CelebrateMonday #learning

Marks are much too shallow a goal for us to direct students toward. When we direct them toward the growth, character, skills & habits which are available to them in each task, we increase relevance of instruction & promote academic achievement...all while promoting wellness.

Healthy classrooms r fueled by hope & optimism. Where there is negativity we must focus on addressing root causes. What are students placing too much value on? What are they not valuing enough? What initiatives r necessary to feed hope & starve negativity?@TheMentoree @YRDSB

Teacher... "Does your brain know the difference between determination in the classroom and determination at the hockey rink?" Student.... "No?" Teacher...."Correct! So let's use this Math lesson as an opportunity to make you a better hockey player!" #AHAmoments
My students were asked, "What do you want our class to feel like?" They said encouraging & free to make mistakes. Too often this desire to encourage & be encouraged is trumped by worry of what others will think. As educator I must intentionally model & celebrate encouragement.
Big moment for our students today... We learned the test for knowing, without a doubt, when one of their peers could use encouragement....It's if they're breathing! @JohnCMaxwell @YRDSB
Our @RickHansenPS class is creating a healthy foundation for our year based on caring for each other. When students are encouraged by each other to take chances, share ideas & make mistakes, they can focus on learning rather than worry. @YRDSB @TheMentoree @DrHenryCloud

This word cloud was created from the input of students through their teachers adding 3 words per class across the EVS (Elementary Virtual School) that resulted in a beautiful artifact of this unprecedented time. #OnEdMentors @YRDSB
