They 100% would. "What do you mean you want to publish the results, you didn't get the ethics approval we said you didn't need"

They seem to frame 'innovation' as something that's imported from overseas; for one of the most educated countries in the world thats a very strange way to go.

and both group reading of the same book, and individual reading of books of interest.

This takes time away from more easily testable bits of information though so its hard to build it into curriculum.

IIRC, opportunities to read, modeled by a teacher (teacher also reading during silent reading, and teacher reading the group book aloud), including reading of the same thing and individual reading of books of interest.

But it takes away from time thst can instead be used to teach testable facts.

"In major assessments for maths, science and reading from 2011 to 2019, greater in-school computer use for learning correlates with lower scores. In contrast, students in classes with rare or no computer use at all typically score highest"

In Canada they tried it as an experiment in a number of places and every time its been a huge success. Never moves beyond a small local test though.

if they say something and you say that's not true, your response is still shaped like their frame

Your frame has to *contain and explain* their frame, not just contradict it.

You have to eat their frame. Like Kirby

One thing that is true in this age of "AI" is that authenticity is going to be prized more than ever before. A single hand-scrawled sign is going have more impact than the smoothest "AI" image because the people seeing it knows it comes from someone's brain, not a tuned algorithm.

Should the program be one year instead of two? Sure, that can work. I did mine in 12 months. But don't pretend you have a problem with 'theory' classes if the classes you actually don't like are optional courses for people who want to learn a little bit about social justice or equity.

Yet, they don't seem to have problems with the other elective options students could take instead like 'Teaching in Roman Catholic Separate Schools', 'Integrating Technology in the Classroom', or 'Language and Literacy in the Elementary Schools: Development and Practice'.

They specifically call out U Ottawa's program, which only has 3 required theory classes (about 20% of the program). Also the specific courses they call out aren't required, they're ALL electives, and there's only one elective block.

When people say they work from an AI first draft I don't know how that works, or if it even can work. That text has been developed without judgment. Information without judgment doesn't make sense to me. "I got this business plan faster because AI" means you got something produced without judgment.

But also, three years ago TRU increased domestic recruitment, so this may be a result of that, they were leaving AB anyway, but now they can be an 8 hour drive from home instead of 2 days.

Alberta is an exporter of students because they don't fund enough seats in province for domestic students. Unlike the other provinces they assume everyone will just come back after graduation from another province.
