@DaveAlexRoberts So appalling.

I cannot believe this. I cannot believe the complete inability or unwillingness to read the room. The timing is bewildering and insulting.

@waub DUCKS and Pageboy! So so good!!!!

Pity she does not realize what @Rabia_Khokhar1⁩ is doing is good teaching, inclusive & supporting all learners. All educators please check ⁦@Rabia_Khokhar1⁩ feed & follow her if you are not. She is an amazing educator.

My first official exhibit. My heart is full from the response so far. Miigwetch ❤️

Congratulations Ms. Bunsie on being the recipient of an HDSB Inspire Award for your work as a champion of Indigenous Education and affirming all student identities!

I will acknowledge this day by sharing this brief passage from @BillyRayB’s brilliant novel A Minor Chorus

@realJ_Mitchell Congratulations to the graduating class and their teacher!!! You have done amazing things at Aldershot. You will be incredible in your new role!!!

It has been an exceptional four years...starting this program and seeing our first class of graduates off. This is as good a time as any to say that I'm stepping into a new role in September. One of 18 Instructional Partners for HDSB with a focus on destreaming. I'm excited.

👇🏽 resonates on so many levels - the struggle is real - as a racialized educator when do you speak up, where is it appropriate & what will the fall out be??? Are you labeled a troublemaker or changemaker? -waiting for everyone else’s readiness feels unsafe & stifling

“Equality means more than passing laws. The struggle is really won in the hearts and minds of the community, where it really counts.” – Barbara Gittings The Progressive Pride flag is up @EthelGardinerPS for the month of June. Hate has no home here.

@realJ_Mitchell Street Data is SO good.

What I’m reading. Don’t know if this an example of “un” or “re” learning. Or just learning.

“Every child deserves a champion, an adult who will never give up on them. Is this job tough? You betcha. But it is not impossible. We’re educators. We’re born to make a difference.” t.ted.com/svhiXGh

It may sound fluffy or cliche but if we are truly working toward equity, we must visualize and believe in a future of possibility. This work isn’t about fixing deficits. Its about honoring, rectifying, and ultimately, cultivating the unique gifts and talents that we all possess.

@realJ_Mitchell I'm always so inspired by you and your students. Yesterday, @LLB_315 - keynote speaker on the @FNMIEAO conference spoke to the verb based nature of Indigenous languages, and spoke to 'verbing math' - making it action based. I thought of your work!

Look at all this sweet sweet math!

My fav Calculus assessment. Curve sketching. In groups. Ten different functions. Sketch your curve. Oops I forgot, groups rotate to a different board every 7 minutes or so. Look at the focus. #ThinkingClassroom
