Replying to @AmyCEdmondson
@AmyCEdmondson I read your book this summer & am creating resources for elementary students on intelligent failure, basic failure, & psychological safety. Tried the “electric” maze today with great success! Would love to collaborate, get feedback, or pick your brain.

Was honoured to be invited to be interviewed by @grohjenjes’s Grade 7 class yesterday as part of the design thinking project they are working on to help improve the experiences of newcomers to Canada and our community. This is the power of student voice in action. #WeAreWRDSB

Such a treat to speak with these compassionate and critical thinkers @growrdsb this morning as they worked on their design thinking projects to support newcomers in @wrdsb schools and communities. Many of them have lived experience as newcomers to Canada.

On a day for the history books, @TheAmandaGorman delivered a poem that more than met the moment. Young people like her are proof that "there is always light, if only we're brave enough to see it; if only we're brave enough to be it."
