Thank you for being an awesome research partner!

Thank you to People for Public Education's @Mxhumanizingedu and Samir Hathout for this op-ed on school attendance and systemic barriers. Schools must dismantle colonial policies and work to remove barriers to attendance. winnipeg-can.newsmemory.com/?publink=0aedc…

WINNIPEG: There will be an event happening for International Day Against Police Brutality on Friday, March 15th, starting at 5PM. Please put it in your calendars and share it in your networks. More details to come! 💕

I want to be very clear about this: 2SLGBTQI+ Canadians – in Alberta and across the country – deserve to be treated with respect, and they should be able to be who they are and love whom they love without fear.   To the members of Edmonton’s 2SLGBTQI+ community, who we heard from yesterday afternoon: Thank you for speaking so candidly about your fears, your concerns, and your ideas. We are here for you, and we’ll always work with you to build a better future.

@MmeLockhartLDSB You do realize that the things you have mentioned are only a small fraction of the writing process.

@LesleyTrudel @uwinnipeg @umanitoba @SFU So many talented and passionate people in this collection. Well done! 🍓

Thrilled to see this excellent resource in publication! Congrats to our editor, Dr. Thomas Falkenberg, @uwinnipeg colleagues, Drs. Heather Krepski & Michael Link, @umanitoba colleagues ,as well as Dr. Jeannie Kerr @SFU, who also published chapters. lnkd.in/gD3pPZJx.

"To be seen and be listened to are essential protective health factors for 2SLGBTQQIA+ people, especially those who are multiply-targeted and whose identities are especially unseen and unheard." - Noe Prefontaine from the Winnipeg InvestiGAYtors program #CBRCSummit2023

@teachergoals Wait a minute- isn’t the premise of this the epitome of a critical thinker. 🧐

Great advice. 🙌

@FixingEducation Perhaps the education of educators needs to be centralized on emotional interaction, how to create secure attachments, adult supremacy and the epistemology of teacher believes (unpacking our bias and privilege)

It's not just about our safety but ensuring a secure environment for all students. I've witnessed situations where students, struggling to control themselves, harm teachers and peers with little to no consequences provided.

Are you a Registered Nurse who also identifies as 2SLGBTQIA+? Do you work in Winnipeg? We want to hear about your lived experiences! My name is Adam Brandt, and I am completing my Master of Nursing (@UofM_Nursing) degree at the University of Manitoba (@umanitoba) and am.../1

@melbrethour The source is from 24 years ago- surely you can cite more current literature.

So honored to be apart of this project and got to walk along side some incredible folks. @CrawfordNursing

@C_Hendrick Sounds like imperial hubris to me 🤨

Growth mindset predicts achievement only among rich students impulsodocente.com/wp-content/upl…

@PublicEdMB It’s doesn’t end. We are constantly being attached. It’s dehumanizing.

It is disturbing to hear elected officials entertaining policy that would be harmful to transgender and gender diverse students. I'm glad that the education minister expressed disapproval of this idea and I hope his office does more to protect the safety of these students.

In 🇨🇦 edu, barriers to decolonizing leadership lie in the systemic perpetuation of imperial hubris—privileged positions that overlook the rights of those w/ less power Existing colonial structures hinder decolonization efforts and foster cultural imperialism w/in edu institutions

Exploring the gap between policy goals and real-world impact sparks vital reflections on the fundamentals of our educational administration and leadership. It urges us to delve into how existing structures sustain systemic challenges, fortifying long-standing power imbalances.

@MattRhoads1990 Phones are not the problem. As much as we want a silver bullet for student disengagement banning pocket commuters will not solve the issue.

5 years ago I was against phone bans in K-12. Fast forward to 2023, I am for every single K-12 school to ban phones.
