September 30 is the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, a time for us all to reflect upon the injustices of the past and the present, and how each one of us can contribute to a more just future for Indigenous Peoples in Canada. Here's a #bced 🧵to help teachers prepare.

“High school students and teachers are yearning for this kind of program that reinvents career education, inspires action and nurtures leadership around climate and other imperatives of our time,” - Patrick Robertson, chair of the @C2C_BC education network. (@sd47_board @EEPSA )

As educators, we hold a great deal of responsibility for teaching the truth and modelling reconciliation for our students. In order to do this work in a good way, we must listen and learn with humility and respect. #bced #bcpoli #TruthAndReconciliationWeek
