2022 is the 100th anniversary of the publication of Dr. Bryce’s report “A National Crime” decrying Canada’s lack of action to prevent the deaths of children in residential schools. Learn from it and press for change now!

Neuroplasticity in action.🧠🌱

❤️👇read...Susan Cain thank you!

The brain is changing,adapting with every thought and experience throughout your life. Through neuroplasticity,new experiences,the brain can rewire itself by creating new neural networks and weakening existing old ones. This is all done through repitition using new habits.🧠🌱

Once you can distinguish between misbehavior & stress behavior, you're better able to pause & reflect. Instead of being irritated you become inquisitive. Instead of disciplining you listen. Instead of reacting in a way that adds stress, you can help to find calm. That’s #SelfReg.

As my bestie George Couros always says, “Engagement is more about what you can do for your students, and empowerment is about helping students to figure out what they can do for themselves.” Empowerment is the ultimate goal of UDL. #UDLNow

Awesome story❤️

Today, May 28, marks two years since the Tk'emlúps te Secwépemc First Nation announced that preliminary findings indicated that the remains of 215+ children were buried at the former Kamloops Indian Residential School. 215pledge.ca

In response to the outpouring of grief, DWF created the 215+ Pledge— a call to action to #DoSomething to ensure that the children who died at residential schools are not forgotten and that the experiences of those who attended are honoured. 215pledge.ca

"What we encourage children to pursue should be what's best for them as individual people, not what simply seems to have worked for everyone else." J Wente-Anishinabee wrtr, broadcaster & arts leader. #MustRead #UnreconciledFamilyTruthIndigenousResistance #Itsyourturn #Itsourturn

“Nothing in nature lives for itself. Rivers don't drink their own water. Trees don't eat their own fruit. Sun doesn't give heat for itself. Flowers don't spread fragrance for themselves. Living for others is the rule of nature. And therein lies the secret of living.”
