Congrats to my Toronto District School Board peers and colleagues for reaching the end of #MTH1W. Your resilience, willingness to share, and lengths you went to for your students definitely didn’t go unnoticed.

Want 2 B clear so will keep it short: this wknd is a reminder of the pervasive hate, racism & white supremacy that all of those working for justice & equity fight against daily. Say it LOUD folx, "We condemn these actions. We condemn hate. We stand for justice and equity & love."

When we march for Black lives, we get vilified in the press When we protect Indigenous land, journalists and community members are arrested When we protest encampment clearings, the state opens up the war chest, unleashing a tactical military response

My deepest condolences to the victim, their family and friends, and staff and students at David and Mary Thomson CI. I am heartbroken for the community that deserves so much better.

Sequencing a course requires an elevation of perspective to see how your students will experience the content & context. When your starting point is inclusion & equity, you put your learners first in your planning. #kpdsbpride #onted TYSM Induja Mahathantila, PhD Moses Velasco Shawn Perry, OCT (he/him) 🏳️‍🌈
