To mark the end of the year, secondary students built a City of Writers - a vibrant, imaginative space where each grade level contributed a different part of the city: a bookstore, a coffee shop, a pottery studio, and more.

Our Ss are busy preparing their Celebrations of Learning. The final presentations will be impressive—but it’s the process that captivates me most. The energized buzz of collaboration, bursts of creativity, moments of pride… this is where growth happens. This is why we teach.

Education isn’t just about learning content—it’s about discovering who you are and finding your voice. At #TCFLschool, students engage in ongoing reflection as they grow, explore their identities, and uncover what truly matters to them.

Recently, in PD, we offered an "AI Tasting Room" - Ts explored 8 free AI tools designed to support student-centered learning. Guided by the essential question, "How can AI enhance—not replace—student thinking in the classroom?", teachers collaborated, shared ideas, & experimented together.

One of my favourite days at TCFL is our annual Read-a-Thon—a day when parents, students, and teachers bring blankets, pillows, and their favorite books to school. Everyone settles in, gets cozy, and a peaceful hush falls over the campus as we all share in the quiet joy of reading together.

Storyboarding the preschool curriculum reveals what children will explore throughout the year & how each part connects to understanding their emotions & learning to express themselves. It’s a powerful way to make the curriculum visible, relevant & meaningful to Ts, Ss, & Ps.

Kudos to our LA Ts for their collaborative work in storyboarding the curriculum! This inspiring narrative connects grades 7 - 12, centering on personal growth, reflection, & discovery. Our Ss have a clear & meaningful progression that deepens their thinking & their voices.

I'm bothered by this AI action figure trend. Do people realize that using AI has a heavy environmental impact? Using AI to improve productivity is one thing, but this is sheer waste.

Our LA team has been rewriting our curriculum using Heidi Hayes Jacob's storyboarding approach.
Today, an LA teacher showed me how she's using storyboards for her lesson plans, saying “At a glance, you can see what my class is like. Lesson plans make so much more sense this way.”

I worked in a school that grouped 3 grade levels together (4, 5 & 6) & it was amazing! It allowed me to give up the notion of what students "should" be able to do, & simply teach them where they were at.

Tomorrow is Sunday, and that must mean it's time for #sunchat! We'll talk about the best way to group students in class. Do we mix up the levels? Do we keep like-levels together? What is today's thinking? See you at 9am eastern tomorrow!
