The impact of COVID on postsecondary access has been uneven. Our new report examines which students succeeded and where attention may be needed. #highered #cdnpse @kgalmac @RobertSBrown57 heqco.ca/pub/mapping-th…

Student voice in teacher research. @ResearchTdsb take us thru the iterative process of embedding student voice. They share @GholdyM words about listening to Ss themselves as best forms of data. Student voice should move from expression & consultation 2 leadership & sharing power.

Check out a recent @TDSB collaboration with @HEQCO

Another great example of School Board Researchers collaborating to share data. This report is based on grade 9 achievement during the first two years of Covid-19 pandemic learning. @DDSBSchools @PeelSchools @HaltonDSB @DPCDSBSchools @HCDSB tdsb.on.ca/research/Resea…

Canada is a country on Indigenous land. It’s only right that we include Indigenous perspectives. The purpose of making this class compulsory is to include Indigenous voices in the high school curriculum, to make it a little less Eurocentric.@isaiah_shafqat torontolife.com/city/ive-had-f…
