Are you using data as a hammer or a flashlight? Here’s how to know when students have learned. #NewTeacher @SolutionTree #solutiontree @GregJWolcott @saskedchat @bcedchat @guerrerokim4 @rvegab_TISD @AlexKajitani @Maverikedu12 @jorgenson_adam @DrJhodge1906 @The_MainIdea

This is not the win you think it is! Only 40 projects. We have 13,500 teachers, so ~ 0.3% are being supported with this fund. That’s not progress that works for all. It’s a shame that all students don’t have access to funding.
You have got to be kidding! Full confidence? To do what? @jeremycockrill has done NOTHING for students. He has ignored them, mistreated them and showed they don’t count! In what dimension is this occurring because it isn’t here!

"We'll lie about extending the school year to anger voters instead of putting working conditions (class size & complexity) in the teachers contract. If we scare and anger voters enough, they might stop supporting the teachers. We're desperate here!"
“We don’t want to get to a situation where we have to look at the school year being extended because of job sanctions but that’s certainly a discussion we may need to have very shortly here,” Education Minister Jeremy Cockrill said earlier this week.

You could have come to this conclusion months ago… as a whole new round of billboards went up late week I can’t say I’m optimistic though…

In 2017, the Sask Party took full control of public ed in Sk. The elected school board reps have no power and zero autonomy.
With the help of school board officials, we’ve downloaded the cost of public ed onto parents, which allows us to give tax breaks to corporate donors.
Oh my goodness. What a circus. Blaming the NDP for things so long ago that the young voters today weren’t even born. Explain Devine and the PCs bankrupted our province & NDP fixed it only to have the SK Party bankrupt it again & your record for healthcare is abysmal.

Isn't this the government that tried to do away with school divisions entirely?
Then removed their ability to set mill rates?
Then clawed back division funding year after year?
And now they want favours?
Any damage to Sask. education rests squarely with you, @jeremycockrill.
Education minister sends letter asking school board trustees for support: Jeremy Cockrill wrote a letter asking school board trustees "to help make the case" for the government's position in negotiations with teachers.

He knows teachers are still delivering content right?
Genuine question. I wonder if he understands what Work to Rule is.
Because if not, he's fully admitting that schools crumble when teachers only work as contracted.

There needs to be a change to how parties are funded because the people of SK are getting shafted by this govt who is taking their cues from donors outside the province. Sending our money out of province for donor bucks. Wake up SK!
Scott Moe’s Minister Everett Hindley lied about being lobbied by a big Sask. Party donor.
The old boys club at the Legislature isn’t working for the people of Saskatchewan. #skpoli
The whole point is that many boards & their members are NOT doing enough to get the funding necessary because they have to do what the government says. This is not for teachers to have say but for boards to have adequate funding. Anything else is political play by people
'Very political, polarizing and personal dynamics': Sask. school boards say teachers' contracts should not address class size, complexity — This year has been "a very dynamic time for education" in Saskatchewan, said SSBA president.

We’ve made a mess of healthcare, education, affordability, & shifted the tax burden from the ultra wealthy, to you.
We can’t stand on our own record, so we lie about the NDP who cleaned up after us when we were the Devine Cons. We’re bad, but the cleanup will be worse!

Supporting our colleagues in NS.
98 per cent of Nova Scotia teachers vote in favour of strike mandate
#nspoli #OurKidsCantWait
ALT Nova Scotia’s teachers and educational specialists have sent a resounding wake-up call to government that it can no longer continue to ignore the many crises boiling over inside our public schools. In a province-wide electronic vote held today, 10,313 NSTU members (including substitute teachers who were eligible to vote) voted 98 per cent in favour of strike action. “Teachers are frustrated by rapidly declining conditions inside their schools, and by Government’s lack of action to provide safe and healthy learning environments for students,” says NSTU President Ryan Lutes.
I’ve been following education here in SK and tweeting here for over 8 years and running #SaskEdChat for over 14 years. In that time, the government has continually underfunded education. Teachers have gone above and beyond to support children which includes Extra-curricular.
The loss of extra-curricular activities is being felt in the immediate but the impact ongoing issues in schools have been affecting teachers and students for years. It is time for this to change. To end the lack of support for ALL students and support the future.
Education is at a crossroads with all that is happening in schools and the needs of children. It is time to sustainably fund education. Yes it hurts to not play. It hurts even more when we dont take care of ALL students. #ISupportSTF

This lies squarely at the feet of @PremierScottMoe and @jeremycockrill.
Teachers are burning out. Government refuses to discuss critical issues while openly disrespecting teachers and the profession. We offered a way out of the impasse; they rejected it. It's on them now.
