I am excited to hear about how they did. Looking to next year, is it possible to build in an action plan, where students take action and have to demonstrate that they have tried to make a difference. I found this challenging at the grade…Read more

Thank you for sharing your journey with Flipgrid. It seems that it has made some profound changes to your teaching in math. Who doesn’t love triangles!

You will be missed tomorrow! I appreciate that technology can make a difference, but ultimately, it is the person behind the tech that makes the difference. Thank you for taking…Read more

Today, I spent some time rereading some of Dewey’s work and connecting with the aspect and meaning of reflection. Simply put, it is through reflection that we ultimately make our learning concrete. Your action plan is noble and your reflection is raw. I have much appreciation and respect for the authenticity of…Read more

I like how you made small changes that resulted in a positive shift for your students’ engagement and learning.

Don’t worry so much about having all the ideas completed or having a detailed description of where your urgency lies. At this point, it is worth putting down so we can begin this journey together. I look forward to reading where your reading and research has brought you. See you Saturday!|

I remember when I walked into an LTO with the public board 5 years back – I was given an Environmental Sciences class of 7 students who were court ordered to attend school. Rough and tough but in general good kids with a tough upbringing and very colourful language. A greenhouse also came with my classroom, and so I made it my goal…Read more

Glad to hear it went well with the students Derek. Did you ask the students what they thought about the process? Or was this built into their self-reflection? We still need to sit down and dissect this better – I’d love to implement this into the grade 10 math class.

I have noticed a few articles that discuss the issues with over-collaboration (a recent article in the Economist), but strongly believe that an intentional, well-structured space can be so powerful!

Check out the other structures that the organization also offers. We can chat about PBL any time. Joe McCrae and I are heading to the states this summer for PBL in math – a new avenue for us at LCS. Love to chat further.
