Ontario Teachers, Capital International in talks to buy a stake in NSE

#OntarioTeachers, #CapitalInternational in talks to buy a stake in #NSE

Ontario Teachers’ Pension Plan Board, one of the largest institutional investors in Canada, and Capital International Group are in separate talks to buy a minority stake in the National Stock Exchange (NSE), ahead of its planned public offering slated later this year.

Both investors are in talks with some of the existing foreign stockholders, including Goldman Sachs Inc, and private equity firms…

Summer School

No rest as a new teacher! Had an extra long weekend and am back at it! The first student to walk into my class was a student I've supplied for countless times! It was wonderful to already know that I would have a rapport with at least one student. This group seems like fun and they are ready & eager to learn! I read them the mayonnaise jar to help them realize the important things in life (as some of them have failed the required standardized test & have previously failed the course as well) - just because one doesn't pass a course does not mean that they are unintelligent. Here's the poem for those of you who may need to hear something like this right now! The Mayonnaise Jar and Coffee When things in your life are almost too much to handle, when 24 hours is just not enough, remember the mayonnaise jar, and the coffee….. A professor stood before his philosophy class and had some items in front of him. When the class began, wordlessly he picked up a very large and empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with golf balls. He then asked the students if the jar was full. They agreed that it was. So the professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar. He shook the jar lightly. The pebbles rolled into the open areas between the golf balls. He then asked the students again if the jar was full. They agreed it was. The professor next picked up a box of sand and poured it into the Jar. Of course, the sand filled up everything else. He asked once More if the jar was full. The students responded with a unanimous “YES”. The professor then produced two cups of coffee from under the table and poured the entire contents into the jar, effectively filling the empty space between the sand. The students laughed. “Now,” said the professor, as the laughter subsided, “I want you to recognize that this jar represents you life. The golf balls are the important things – your family, your children, your health, your friends, and your favorite passions – things that if everything else was lost and only they remained, your life would still be full. The pebbles are the other things that matter like your job, your House, and your car. The sand is everything else – the small stuff. “If you put the sand into the jar first,” he continued, “there is no room for the pebbles or the golf balls. The same goes for life. If you spend all your time and energy on the small stuff, you will never have room for the things that are important. Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness. Play with your children! Take time to get medical checkups. Take your wife/husband/lover/friend out to dinner. Maybe even play another 18. There is always time to clean the house and fix the disposal. Take care of the golf balls first, the things that really matter. Set your priorities. The rest is just sand.” One of the students raised her hand and enquired what the coffee represented. The professor smiled. “I’m glad you asked. It just goes to show you that no matter how full your life may seem, there is always room for a couple cups of coffee with a friend.”

In the works for next year... #Sphero Chariots! It was a weekend of lab tests not too long ago and this is what me and my children whipped up! Challenge your students with hybrid design/build/code challenge with project wood and MDF wheels. What can sphero pull? Make something similar out of Lego or cardboard and compare! This is also a great collaborative project for kinders to do with their older grade 4 tech buddies! #mentoring, #cooperation and #skillbuilding #competition #edtech #kindergarten #fkd #ontarioteacher #stem #stemeducation #coding #engineering

Education first! Cuts to education hurts everyone. Students matter and teachers do too.

Another day of watercolour technique studies.

Make education great again. Defunding public education and creating oversized classrooms will drive the wealthy into the private schools and leave the rest in schools that are falling apart and unable to support our students. #ontarioteacher #govofontario #ontario_teachers_2019 #osstf #collage #horseracing #education #funding #studentsuccess #students #cbcarts #nowmagazine #blogto #autismontario (at Toronto, Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/girlsanddinosaurs/p/BvcTxFQh5LO/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=ogin903dclzf

"Punch, bind, cut, bite" is more or less complete. The four panels depict tools often found in a teacher's desk, but the title focuses on the actions of a hole puncher, tape dispenser, scissors and staple remover. Painted in a similar colour palette as Picasso's "Guernica" and in the spirit of documenting an historical event, this painting speaks to the tumultuous times in Ontario education. Four teacher tools, representing the four unions working together to make an education system that is fair and balanced for both teachers and students. Each panel can stand on its own, but put together, they make a much stronger composition. . . . #cubism #cubismart #acrylicpainting #acrylic #blackandwhite #punch #bind #cut #bite #scissors #holepunch #stapleremover #tape #art #artwork #painting #hamiltonartist #education #guernica #artteachersofinstagram #artteacher #teacher #onted #ontarioteacher #oecta #etfostrong #aefo #osstf @osstf_feeso @at_theagh @hwcdsb @etfoeducators @catholic_teachers @aefoprovinciale #union https://www.instagram.com/p/B85DfD7nWDw/?igshid=1kc7et85j6itu

We were filling up the water table with #orbeez and wondered... what if we put them in a bottle and closed the lid? With the help of timelapse photography to slowdown and visualize what was happening, we can see exactly what happened! Teacher, we used a free app I've been using for years called #imotion (iPad). It's free, and might actually already be installed on most iPads in your board. It's great for getting a new perspective. What will your kinder kids observe next with #stopmotion or #timelapse #ontarioteacher #kinder #kindergarten #fdk #stem #playbasedlearning

We've been using #Stem #Robotics activities to stimulate discussions and collaborative art and map making. #ozobot is a great tool to talk about different types of lines (waves, zig zags, arcs, spirals) to design, create and test maps, plan out routes in everything from rooms to cities, and create stories with an interactive character.

Home Stretch!

One more exam to administer! Then to mark my grade 12 U exams (hopefully tomorrow as I’m administering this final exam) then only have to mark tomorrow’s! Plus, a lot of students have been handing in late work so that must get marked too…. The point of the post?? Marking palooza commences! Will see you educhums on the other side!

Last night of Night School!

This particular class taught me a lot about what is working for this course & what isn’t despite the tweaks already made - this is my third time around teaching the course & I’m already thinking of the changes that I can make for next year - If I have the opportunity to teach the course again of course!

--

Highlights: Having a student I failed last semester, succeed this time around. A teary eyed goodbye, thank-you and I’m proud of you send off happened & my heart filled with joy for this young person’s future.

Encouraging a student to start a blog of his/her own.

–

Lowlights: The chattiness & overall meanness of this class. Also can’t forget my {one} hard-to-deal-with-student. On a positive note: great classroom management experience!

Countdown until Day School exams!
