Such a beautiful day connecting on the land, sitting in circle listening to Elders, and learning about how to approach Indigenous voices in literature using culturally appropriate pedagogy from @scsanders13

Migwech and Qujanamiik @heathergodin3 and William Komaksiutiksak for sharing teachings about language, life experiences, drumming, cedar, culture, and the healing power of community with my NBE class today @StJosephOCSB @ocsbindigenous @OttCatholicSB
Migwech @kyrstin_dumont for sharing teachings about plant medicines & smudging to start the year @StJosephOCSB . Beautiful reminder to see, hear, and walk with good intentions this semester in NBE❤️ @ocsbindigenous #ocsbReconciliAction @OttCatholicSB

Day 2 of our social media campaign on #JordansPrinciple is all about the backlog. Today we're sharing what we know about the "queue", determination timelines, and a status update on how many requests are in the backlog.

Universal Design for Learning (UDL) requires both firm goals AND flexible means. Without firm goals, students may not fully grasp the purpose of the options we design, making it challenging for them to become agents of their own learning and meet academic standards.
ALT Simply providing flexible means does not create a universally designed learning environment

🌎 This year, World Water Day and Earth Hour fall on the same day—reminding us of the power we have to protect our planet. From conserving water to switching off non-essential lights at 8:30 p.m., small actions add up to a big impact. @ocsbECO #ocsbOutdoors #ocsbECO
Fun night learning with @OCSB_LT - loved how @Walkertime1 modelled gamification as pedagogy engaging learners in intentional knowledge&skill acquisition with fun & prizes while showcasing @quizizz supports for differentiation⬇️ ocsb.ca/2025/02/20/new-the-o…
