Can you believe it? I am now a math instructor at The University of Saskatchewan! Go Huskies!
I didn't get a job here or anything. I'm just a math instructor physically on their campus.

Parent: How was your day at school?
Child: Fine.

How is this growth that works for everyone?

Teachers are continually being asked to support students with less. Recently, @GSCSNews shared this infographic.
Will @SaskParty ever realize that an investment in education is an investment in our province? Constant cuts hurt our province. But most importantly, cuts hurt kids.

Today is Red Dress Day. It is the National Day of Awareness for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls and Two-Spirit People (MMIWG2S). We remember the thousands of Indigenous women, girls and two-spirit people who have been subject to disproportionate violence in Canada.

"Math class does not offer students enough opportunities to make decisions.
Students are interested when making decisions. And when they're not deciding, they're passive."

Students carry the scars from math class like no other discipline.
What can we do to rebuild our students' (and even our own) math identity?

Probably the best way I’ve seen the cuts laid out graphically.

This is an eye opening graph shared by @StoonPubSchools that really drives home the budget shortfalls our school divisions are dealing with.
Each line shows what today’s per student funding would be if previous years’ funding continued, adjusted for inflation.

I feel embarrassed to admit this. It feels like a personal weakness, but I am struggling with educator burnout.
I like working hard, pushing myself. This year, has been draining. I can’t keep the pace required. It’s the last day of the Easter break and I don’t feel recovered.🧵
