The Marie-Victorin School Board

January 24th, 2020 

Hello everybody,
How are you doing? I’m doing well, even though next week, I will have my first midterm.  By the time that you’ll read this… I will be starting or have already started my internship semester. But everything is okay… this may seem strange to suddenly see a post from January 2020, but I’m bumping this post from other scheduled posts, because… it feels pretty important for you to know?

Last year, I scheduled a post about working in the area of Montreal, and now that I’ve gone through a little bit more, I just wanted to keep you all up to date with the process with the Commission Scolaire Marie-Victorin, because if someone with my experience now had been close to me and telling me about these things a few days ago, I feel like they would have reassured me.

Disclaimer: Before you start reading, I want you to know that this is just my personal experience with the whole process, and it may not happen to you specifically.

October 7th, 2020

Hello there everybody,
How are you all? I hope this post finds you safe and that you’ve been wearing your masks when going out! Please remember to wash your hands often! Meanwhile, I have been doing well, I have been struggling trying to keep myself updated with the readings my professors have been bombarding us with.

I’m interrupting my monthly posts with this particular post… because… while I’ve spoken about our Professional Portfolios before, but about the SPEAQ conference, last year (even though it was published here a mere few months ago, there are still so many things to explore about the program and its requirements. Today, I would like to tell you about QPAT.

Hello there!
How are you doing?

Before I start the second of these software posts, I want to preface my post with saying that Storybird looks amazing, but it is definitely not free, unlike many of the posts in this category.

Dear Teachers with Anxiety,
How are you all? I trust this beginning of September has started well for all of you! Right now, it’s a rainy, rainy day – as many Autumn days are, and this kind of weather just adds on to the gloomy feeling I have, just building up and building up since the last time I had class (back in July).

Hey there, everybody,
How are you? I’m doing well, except that I just went through so much bureaucracy and mailing in order to get the PDF to get my Student Opus Card, that I decided to make it easier for myself in the future (and also for you students), because sometimes, I’m not very smart, and I don’t follow what the Concordia website wants out of me (to be COMPLETELY fair though, it doesn’t have images! How can I know which drop-down menu I should take?????).

Welcome to my weird tutorial!

Hello there everybody!
How’s it going? As you can see from the timestamp here, I’ve scheduled this for awhile now, and I really hope that by the time this post reaches your eyes, you will either already have known about it and have signed up, or you will not need it anymore (over here, the government has closed schools (from elementary schools to universities) until May 1rst as of the writing of this, and they even said that they might close until next school year as well…). But just in case neither of those happened, by May 21rst, I just wanted to share this website with you:

Hello there, everybody,
How’s it going?

As I’ve explained before, this post is originally (as long as I don’t suddenly change it) scheduled for May 2020, and is part of a series of posts that I intend to add with my monthly posts, as a way to help spread awareness about what resources are available for parents and teachers out there, to help students and children.
