Thank you Heidi! Teachers across Canada are facing challenges around increasing class complexity, lack of supports for students, and deteriorating working conditions. It has been promising to see other provinces negotiate with teachers on these big issues. Solidarity!

Class complexity is impacted by increasing numbers of students who require additional supports, which include additional language supports, counselling, reading and speech interventions or other learning needs. Class complexity isn't only 'behavioural incidents'.

This February, a new specialized support classroom pilot project will be launched that focuses on helping manage and de-escalate behavioural incidents. This project will help address classroom complexity by assisting students who need targeted interventions in the short-term. Our government is providing a $3.6 million investment to fund the pilot in eight school divisions across the province which will run until the end of the 2024-25 school year.

The Daily Difference app was started by a 16 year old girl in Saskatoon, Canada (Kelli Lemstra). It is a free app that allows youth to help themselves with common mental health issues - among other positive options. I am happy to see such a positive option for youth.
