Recognize and Report Alberta Teachers: Mr. Shaye Coleman from David Thomas King School in Edmonton
Thank you Alberta, Canada, Turtle Island and particularly Wendy M., the sender of our seventh report, who reached out to share her experience with an Edmonton, Alberta teacher: Mr. Shaye Coleman from David Thomas King School.
As we enter the second week of October, I am looking forward to this wonderful 2026-2027 school year where we #RecognizeandReport Alberta Teachers!
Please, also, join us every Tuesday on Ashley+Lavender Library Press (LLP) socials for #TattleTaleTuesday, where we share these reports, and let's show these Alberta teachers and the Alberta education system some love!
Don't forget to send in your reports Albertans/Turtle Islanders, so we can keep it going all year!

Thank you again, Albertans, Canadians, and Turtle Islanders, for helping build community instead of tearing it down!
See the comments given about Mr. Shaye Coleman below:
From what I can gather, Mr. Coleman was doing something teachers do every single day that often goes completely unrecognized: building relationships with students and their families before challenges even arise.
He communicated. He collaborated. He listened. He took the time to understand this student's individual needs and worked with the family to figure out how they could best support their child throughout the school year. This is family and student-centred teaching, and exactly what a 21st-century classroom should look like!
And that's another part of teaching people don't always see.
Teachers are constantly working behind the scenes; meeting with families, reviewing learning needs, planning accommodations, collecting data, completing paperwork, and figuring out how to support classrooms FULL of students with different strengths, experiences, and needs.
Because treating students fairly doesn't mean treating them all exactly the same. It means understanding what each student needs as an individual to succeed.
And sometimes, taking the initiative to meet with a family is what sets the tone for an entire school year. It builds trust, it opens communication, and it reminds everyone that education is a collaborative, team effort.
And apparently, Mr. Coleman is funny, too! Because let's be real, a little humour goes a LONG way in making students actually WANT to come to class!
That's the kind of everyday work teachers do that deserves a much more recognition!
And that's something worth reporting, recognizing, and tattling on in Alberta, Canada, here on Turtle Island! I look forward to hearing from you and sharing another report on another Tuesday!
Ciao for now!
