At yesterdays, @CEIAinc conference, Dave Drewery & Katie Knapp discussed the importance of workplace friendships and their outcomes.
Key takeaway: Encouraging connections between students and employees increases job satisfaction and organizational commitment.
The last keynote of the day is Niigan Sinclair - who is speaking on indigenous presence, practice, pedagogy and permanence. He says “Reconciliation has to live more in the hallways than in the classrooms” 🧡 – at Toronto, Ontario

A stacked panel to discuss the future of education (that’s our jam!) - @DRABC14 asks, what are the three skills we want students to walk away with? The answer: 1. Curiosity (you can’t teach this, help them spark it!) 2. Problem solving! 3. Building friendships (humanity ❤️)
