From the Cariboo to Cowichan to White Rock - headed home after 2 days of PD about equity & literacy. Grateful to folks from SD79 & SD36 for the invite, hosting & participating. Flight delay = time to polish course outlines for the new Regional TEP cohort @unbced.

Notes from the diary of a PD provider: When you travel to Van Island to provide PD, & realize you forgot your toiletries after you get to White Rock for your next event, this is what $21 at a local store buys. Must be the “vintage” toothpaste. Don’t think I’ve seen cinnamon Close Up since 1989.

This quote is from Dr. Timothy Odegard’s latest LinkedIn post. If you aren’t familiar with him, just search his name and prepare to be inspired. #dyslexia #leadlearners #evidence #bced

As we begin to introduce universal screening using evidence-based measures across #BCED, it is so important to understand that screening is just the start. Dr. Timothy Odegard explains this, and so much more, in this excellent article.

Sincerest thanks to the Bulkley Valley Teachers' Union for inviting me to present about #evidencebased #relationshipfocused #literacy practices! Great day of learning with a group of incredibly dedicated educators. Full brains and full bellies this Easter weekend! #effectiveinstructionforall #bced

Congrats to the 2025 graduates from UNBC’s Regional Teacher Education Program! 16 months of hard work, growth & learning have come to an end. So proud of this close-knit cohort from Quesnel & Terrace, BC. See you in the halls, teachers!

More food for thought from Dr. Charles Ungerleider. To his point about mastery of knowledge, there must be access to it. Ensuring that there is a bridge to the large body of research related to learning and literacy in all levels of teacher ed, a s key.
