Educationally speaking: November 2011
http://educationallyspeaking-shauna.blogspot.com/2011_11_01_archive.html
Monday, November 21, 2011. The value of an education. I grew up in a small 800 sq foot house in north Edmonton. When I was in Grade 8, my jr. high school, Wellington appeared on the front page of the Edmonton Journal under the heading of the "toughest school in Edmonton". Wow, did we think we were cool! My father had a grade 6 education and my mother a grade 11, but all three of us children completed at least one university degree. My sister has two and my brother has three. Why?

Educationally speaking: March 2011
http://educationallyspeaking-shauna.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html
Tuesday, March 29, 2011. Recently SPERD held the Fine Arts Showcase at Racette featuring talent from across the division. Hundreds of parents and community members came to view pictures on display and hear kids perform. It was awesome. Most commercial artists would give their left arm to have an audience like that. While computers offer education anytime, anyplace, a computer program can't replace hands on teaching in areas such as fine arts. Wednesday, March 23, 2011. How much is too much. One child had...

Educationally speaking: April 2011
http://educationallyspeaking-shauna.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html
Monday, April 25, 2011. Edmonton public is considering re-arranging the school year to add another holiday in November. Http:/ www.edmontonjournal.com/news/Edmonton Public Schools considers fall break/4668033/story.html. I think it is time to consider year round schooling. A student or teacher can expect to attend or work two out of the three terms. If a student wanted to attend all three terms, they could finish their grade 12 earlier. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Educationally speaking: June 2011
http://educationallyspeaking-shauna.blogspot.com/2011_06_01_archive.html
Thursday, June 30, 2011. Money, politics and teaching. The first paragraph says it all . Even with a $1.3-billion decrease in the 2010 deficit, the province says it won't restore $100 million to the education budget for teachers' salaries.". Http:/ www.torontosun.com/2011/06/30/alberta-teachers-stuck-with-budget-cuts. I wonder how many teachers and school staff voted PC in the last election. Sunday, June 26, 2011. An interesting exam strategy. Friday, June 24, 2011. Friday, June 17, 2011. Alberta is on t...

Educationally speaking: Politics of change
http://educationallyspeaking-shauna.blogspot.com/2011/11/politics-of-change.html
Monday, November 7, 2011. I am willing to give the new Minister of Education Tomas Lukaszuk a chance mostly because I like Alison Redford. So far Redford seems supportive of Education but . only time will tell for sure. The PC's have announced the return of a large chunk of funding for Education. While thats nice, it never should have been cut in the first place so they are simply correcting something which was done wrong. No extra points there. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Educationally speaking: ADHD
http://educationallyspeaking-shauna.blogspot.com/2011/10/adhd.html
Monday, October 31, 2011. Should we be so quick to treat ADHD with drugs. So many children are given drugs for ADHD, largely based on evaluations from schools but is that the best approach? Are we stifling their natural creativity? Http:/ www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2011/03/110311153543.htm. The arts and creative programs are always the first to be cut in schools. Perhaps its time for public education to diversify and teach children in different ways. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Educationally speaking: January 2011
http://educationallyspeaking-shauna.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html
Wednesday, January 26, 2011. St Paul Education is unique in that the school board represents both Catholic Schools and Protestant schools however this is a topic that is about to heat up in other areas of the province. Http:/ www.stalbertgazette.com/article/20110126/SAG0801/301269978/-1/SAG/separate-catholic-school-division-would-cause-firestorm. Is it time for separation of Church and public schools? Tuesday, January 18, 2011. Wednesday, January 12, 2011. Are schools now police? Tuesday, January 4, 2011.
