A district wide day of learning committed to our own journeys to decolonization and Truth & Reconciliation. An honour to plan, and support this amazing work. Thank you @LenPierre2 @ThorKeith Siy:am Lara Mussell, Weli’leq, Lenexwi:ot and Mark Point for guiding our continued work

So honoured to receive this quilted blanket today. A beautiful incorporation of Métis-Cree artist Karen Erickson and a personal passion from a staff member’s parent. @ChilliwackSD33 #Reconciliation #everychildmatters

Whenever I sat down with my grandpa and asked about our people, his first answer was inevitably “it’s always the land question granddaughter.” Looking forward to hearing more from Kanienʼkehá꞉ka writer, scholar and resurgence warrior on decolonization. @TaiaiakeAlfred

Grateful to have been a part of some powerful conversations on Indigenous Research Jurisdiction. Strong matriarchs across disciplines voicing and asserting what really matters when it comes to researching with, and within Indigenous Communities. #rematriation #indigenousmatriarch

A phenomenal week of learning at the @BCPVPA Foundations for New School Leaders conference. Grounded in decolonizing leadership. The networking was endless, and the learning was priceless. 10/10 would recommend. @mcarolynroberts @bmooreintheloop @ChilliwackSD33 @bcedplan

Today is the first national ribbon skirt day, celebrating the Indigenous piece of clothing as a symbol of pride. An elementary kiddo rocking their skirt today 💕 #sd33 #sd33learns

Every time I get a coherent sentence down in my term paper #mastersthesis #academicoftheyear #sfu @mcarolynroberts

@NicholasFerroni @DHewittSwims resume project?

I need everyone’s professional advice: Which one of my students would you hire solely based on their resume? (They had to create a resume for their favorite fictional character)

Some students go an entire day at school without anyone saying their name. Be the adult who speaks to each student by name. Everyone loves to hear their name.

Critical Challenge. Is Reconciliation Enough? SJ12 students exploring topics related to Indigenous histories, and contemporary efforts of reconciliation. What does reconciliation mean and how can it look? #indigenouseducation @ChilliwackSD33 @SardisSecondary @UFVTeacherEd

@MeganBlaschek @JasonReynolds83 Love this author!!!

He’s done it again! @JasonReynolds83 thank you for sharing some more of your magic! ✨ There are so many possibilities for using this in the ELA classroom.

What I learned from teaching this term: education that nurtures students’ individual and intersectional identity is highly effective, humanizing, and inclusive.

I wish I could take this course 😭

Always a pleasure learning, and building understanding with @sarafdavidson If you're looking to bring Indigenous expertise into your class through story, these are a must look! Waiting patiently for the educator guide 😌🥰
