Today has shown police don’t need de-escalation training, they choose who to escalate on, that’s not a training issue. Police don’t need unconscious bias training, they are conscious of their bias.

NEW RULE: If you’re ‘essential’ enough to work through a pandemic, you’re essential enough to be given #PaidSickDays. #COVID19

It’s been a heavy weekend. As we start this week I ask that Toronto District School Board educators to engage with UIEC_TDSB to ensure that you do this work in culturally safe & trauma-informed ways as to not unintentionally perpetuate colonial violence & harm - this work is not about saving the day

That’s a wrap on this year! Sending love and gratitude to all my fellow educators. This year was hard..and then some! Looking forward to new beginnings in September! Nelson Mandela Park TDSB Early Years #schoolsoutforsummer
