If the @albertaNDP is elected, one of our very first acts will be to scrap this backwards UCP curriculum. #ableg #abed

Powerful OpEd from friend/mentor @russellgranet on the urgent need for investing in #artsed: “True innovation is only possible when one’s imagination is engaged, and innovation will be vital for tackling issues our generation cannot begin to fathom.” cityandstateny.com/opinion/2… – at Calgary, Alberta

With uncertain times because of COVID-19, music, art and theater can help students make sense of this ambiguity and invites them to explore new knowledge.

Thank you to the @albertateachers for having Dr. Richelle Marynowski @rmarynow speak on curriculum theory in response to critically looking into the draft Alberta curriculum. Accessing the knowledge of experts and basing curriculum design on research is so important.

This (very short) film is a masterpiece about the lockdown made by Grade 9 student Liv McNeil. Do yourself a favour and take three minutes to watch it. Best film I've seen in a long time. Just. Wow. youtube.com/watch?v=iSkbd6hR…

President Schilling is incensed: “Throughout debate on Bill 22, the government was adamant ATRF would retain control over investment decisions.” He is puzzled that AIMCo and the gov't would not accept reasonable terms suggested by the ATRF. #abed #ableg loom.ly/9rhCfnU

It still boggles my mind that we’re acting as if viral transmission doesn’t happen in schools, as if they’re some sort of fairyland, magically immune to the rules of physics & biology

In light of growing transmission in schools, it's worth revisiting our recent policy paper. We recommend: ▶️ Ventilation & air filtration ▶️ Smaller class sizes ▶️ Hybrid teaching ▶️ Masks for staff & students These are appropriate for many countries, not just the UK.

What students need are skills to search for, evaluate, and learn how to use sources to support and challenge their thinking. History is a way of thinking about how and why past societies and beliefs were different from and similar to our own. #abed #ableg edmontonjournal.com/opinion/…
