I didn't vote for the BC Conservatives, but now that we have a new government I hope it can put #BCEd back on track after 25 years of disastrous leadership from the Ministry of Education. Most of Ungerleider's post rings true. #bcedchat #bcpoli

Example: This morning, I sent this letter (image w/ alt text) to each of Vancouver’s incoming school trustees. To be clear, it doesn’t stop here: we also have to attend meetings/sign up to speak and generally keep our foot on the gas. But it starts simple and it starts now. #BCPoli #BCEd #bcedchat
![Dear Trustee [name],
Congratulations on your recent election win. I have great confidence in your ability to steward the Vancouver School Board through the next four years.
Unfortunately, I am writing today on a sour note. I am deeply concerned by the stance of the new Conservative provincial government with regard to education, specifically the protection of 2SLGBTQ+ individuals. The government has promised to remove SOGI123, and I am writing to urge you and your colleagues to protect the implementation of this policy (in principle, if not in letter). The City of Vancouver has the opportunity to act as a beacon for the marginalized people of this province and a check on the more regressive impulses of this provincial government. I hope that we can count on you to do your part in this regard.
Best wishes for the upcoming term.

#BCEd K-12 teachers could certainly use the support of university educators to re-instate comprehensive exams, provide more rigorous curriculum, and develop world-class resources (i.e. not TpT). The lack of student accountability & BC's state of curriculum development are appalling! #bcedchat

From a pedagogical perspective, this also highlights the importance of place-based history. If you start talking to me about the seigneurial system, I’m going to jump out a window. But BC is home — even if these events happened a century before my family arrived — this is MY history. #bcedchat

Interesting resource! Has anyone used these card decks or something similar? How are you using them? What are your thoughts? #structuredliteracy #literacy #bced #bcedchat #edusky #oned
I am in love with my new grapheme-phoneme and morphology card decks from Liisa Freure at Fundamental Learning.
The Canada Post strike is ending tomorrow so now is the perfect time to order your very own card decks! store.funlearning.ca
