Was glad to bring greetings to @mbteachers.bsky.social Fab5 Conference today - grounding and practical PD for teachers in their first 5 years. And, always glad to run into other GVTA colleagues like Cassidy! Wonderful to have divisional support from GVSD for early-career members!

For more than two decades, Joel Swaan has dedicated his career to teaching, leadership, and advocacy. “Back in Grade 3 I did a half an hour lesson where I taught – no – lectured the class on using codes as a method of communication," he laughs. “I knew I wanted to teach.” buff.ly/Wcmr41U
