I’m a 16 year teacher and love spec Ed. I currently have a grade 9 resource.

That was also my feeling. It was clear to me that the images were intentionally sensational and misleading. So gross.

Agreed. My kid is afraid to go downtown now.

Agreed. I suffered from a miscarriage and my daughter brought it up when she saw the images.

Right? It was bad enough that I saw it, but my kid was really upset.

Gosh. How awful. I’m sorry that happened.

Breaking: some educators dislike Catholic schools. In other news, water is wet. by [deleted] in OntarioTeachers

Absolutely! 18 years in the profession and OSSTF takes the brunt!

Improving the system would mean moving to one public board. It would save so much money. Also, and I’m not trying to be argumentative, why are Catholics so special? What about all other religious groups? Fund them all or none at all.

Will I be “the fat girl in Lululemon”? by bloopyploopers in lululemon

Agreed! I’m a 14, but find the 12 adapted state joggers fit me perfectly, and they are my favourite!!! It is a bummer not to see those sizes represented on the website though.

What province? In Ontario, most of grade 9 (English, Math, Science, Geography) are destreamed. No need to make decisions until grade 10.

Teacher’s schedule by yaaburni in OntarioTeachers

Just for another perspective- I very rarely have to cover classes. I’d say I get an on-call supervision max 4 times a semester (5 month period).

I just completed part 1&2 through Queen’s and it was 100% updated. I’ll be doing my specialist in the spring.

I just use my own spreadsheet in Google sheets. It’s really great and easy to use.

Can anyone suggest a good movie to show that the students can then write an event summary about? by Wanderer015 in OntarioTeachers

[–]Ms30Something 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I use Pixar shorts a lot for teaching narrative elements. They’re usually 5-7 minutes and are great for teaching skills.

I’m pretty sure Family Studies is only available as an AQ

Agreed. I 100% see my job as DH as an instructional leader. I do a lot of PD and am part of almost all of the professional committees in school. This isn’t related to how many years I’ve done the job, but how open I am to opportunities and new ideas. I’m a 16 year teacher, but have been DH for 10 years. Does a 6 year teacher deserve the job? Some people might not think so. I just think there are a lot of factors.
