I am receiving a disturbing amount of emails from teachers in the DDSB. They're afraid to speak out. I don't want to put any teacher at risk of reprimand or worse but banning The Great Bear is the tip of the iceberg. It’s unconscionable conduct by supposed leaders. /1

When we work hard for something we don't believe in, it's called stress. When we work hard for something we love, it's called passion.

Hey! Look! Did you see that massively huge convoy of health workers who has gone in to work each & every day to provide healthcare for vulnerable people amidst staffing shortages, snowstorms & a raging pandemic? Yeah...shoutout to that convoy. That convoy is the best. 🙌🏾

If someone finds the strength to open up to you today… listen, and love. That’s what we need, non-judgemental listening, and unconditional loving. ❤️ #BellLetsTalk

We spent some time in the learning pit today but we stuck with it, collaborated and we did it! Way to go grade 1 and 2s. Deep learning and understanding comes from spending time in the “pit”!

Having a conversation with learners of all ages around what it means to be a team, what it means to learn in community, is so important. This guide has so many supportive ideas for sustaining that conversation:

I encourage you to visit a fly-in First Nation in Kiiwetinoong.
Come see firsthand the challenges we have, such as clean drinking water.
We have a First Nation on a boil water advisory for over 26 years….and there are others.
Stopped by this incredible fish fry at Big Grassy First Nation. Minister @GregRickford is right! Their Lake of the Woods Walleye is so delicious.

When we talk about giving a student a 'fresh start' or a 'clean slate', is the subtext that something about them is spoiled or dirty? And is that 'start' really ours to GIVE?
Reflecting on exclusionary language & would love to hear your thoughts & alternatives.

Not every child can learn online. Many need extra support. Not every parent can stay home and supervise their children online. If this is your response you need to check you privilege and think again
When parents advocate for safer schools, please stop telling us to “just keep your kids home”. Not everyone has the privilege of being able to do this. Schools need to be made as safe as possible, especially for our unvaccinated littles. #OntEd #SafeSeptember2021
