"If you are not clear, you will use the language of equity, social justice and radical possibility, you will use the language of revolution to ensure oppression...when the words are freedom work, but the practice is binding the heart and soul and incarcerating it" @chrisemdin

April is Sikh Heritage Month, Sikhs and non-Sikhs alike can come together, learn, and celebrate the rich enduring values of equality, compassion, and community service. Please check out so amazing resources at sikhheritagebc.ca/ #bcedchat #sd40learns
Today, on #WorldAutismDay, let's celebrate the unique strengths and perspectives of individuals. Lets also continue to raise awareness for understanding and acceptance. Together, we can create a more inclusive community #sd40learns #bcedchat
Our schools and communities are places that should allow students to see themselves represented positively in their learning experiences! Let’s uplift voices that have been historically excluded and see lived experiences as assets not deficits #bcedchat #bced #sd40learns
Ramadan Mubarak to staff, student, families and community members observing Ramadan this month. We hope you have a month filled with love and joy. Here are some reminders to our staff to help support students during this time. #sd40learns #bcedchat
Educate students and staff about the significance of Ramadan and the importance of respecting those who are fasting. Avoid scheduling social events during fasting hours and be mindful of the types of food and drink that are served.
Happy International Women's Day! Let's celebrate the achievements, compassion, strength, and resilience of women everywhere. We honour and uplift your voices as we work towards a more equitable future: internationalwomensday.com/

Powerful presentation by @BethApplewhite4 for the @BCPVPA ideas forum! Thank you for leading the work in discussing #Antiblackracism and #BlackExcellence ! Never would have thought I would have seen a Black excellence discussion @BCPVPA ! Thank you for being courageous.
Thank you to @BethApplewhite4 at IDEAS Forum, celebrating black excellence - it's not about a shirt, a colour, or a day - it honours black voices, remarkable black contributions & achievements, each day. A reminder that representation matters - you can't be what you can't see.
Looking forward to this amazing opportunity this weekend with #BCBELA #bcedchat #sd40 #bcpvpa #ubc celebrating #blackhistory in education in BC!
Excited for BCBELA’s first in-person launch event during the first week of Black History Month. Come out meet other educators, hear some live music and eat some great appies! @BethApplewhite4 @KevinGodden1 @KennethHeadley @dnembhard43 @JelksDionte
