TY Janani Pathy for sharing the layers of Setting Direction w/ #OISEPQPYR! Love how the school vision came to life w/ staff & students articulating valuable insights & transformative actions. “They will wish, want and demand for change when all stakeholders assume responsibility”

Bill Cober #YRDSB: It's great to have planning, direction, and goals, but if you don't have collaboration and trust - they will all be for not. #OISEPQPYR TY for inspiring a rich and open conversation on systemic barriers, trust, and critical consciousness.

A MOUNTAIN of personal reflection today w/ Dane Lawrence-Prince #YRDSB. TY for giving us time to pause, reflect & examine leadership from an anti-oppressive & equitable lens. "Challenge with grace - effective and professional conversations are not devoid of conflict" #OISEPQPYR

💚 TY Fawzia D #YRDSB: Your actions must be bold & brave for equity and inclusion. Hearts and minds are needed in education to care deeply for students & their families so that they can bring their whole, authentic, selves to school with them 👏 EVERY 👏 DAY 👏 #OISEPQPYR

Norseman Festival is back!!! And we were honoured to have an official visit from Ontario’s Lt. Governor Elizabeth Dowdeswell @LGLizDowdeswell

📖 #TheStrangers: The stories we are told and retold throughout our lifetime make up our blood memory. We come to understand, heal & discover truths from all our relations through these (his/her)stories. #KPDSBPride #KPDSBBookStudy #summerreading

📖#KPDSBTheStrangers: Challenge 2, 🔗 @nativelandnet. “We do not own the land, we borrow it from our children.” A critical reminder of our privileged role here. I acknowledge my responsibility to respect traditions & knowledges of sovereign nations & to care for all land/water.

Who wants to be the first person to hold The Stone Child in their hands??? It’s the end of one character’s journey and the beginning of another’s in a race against time. Like this post, be sure to follow me, and I’ll choose ONE lucky winner by Friday. #contest #newbook

📖 #KPDSBTheStrangers Challenge #5: Check out Birchandbeads/Instagram. This Métis Artist combines her passion for medicine and beadwork. Known to support Indigenous communities with her proceeds, she hails from NWO and is a former Ignace Falcon 💚 ! #kpdspride

I think this is good advice. #wellnesswednesday #TMC #self_reg

Children and adults will return to school with stories… stories of struggle, suffering, joy, hope, and resilience. How will we make space to listen—to really hear? When will we slow down and hold space for the most important data in the building? #StreetData #storientation

✨ New Twitter header & life goal alert:✨ Tonight I packaged up the first 10 of the beaded pins for the Beading Cultural Safety research project. These special pieces to me are going to (hopefully) stand by students and tell all about #MedEd allyship in clinical encounters. 🫀

Happy Diwali! May we open our hearts to welcome joy, peace, prosperity and good health. Best wishes to you and yours 🪔💚

Be critical. Combining toxicity with a cultural celebration is definitely problematic. A conversation about media techniques (bad/good headlining?) and their impact starts a conversation about anti-racism and anti-oppression. #OntEd #kpdsbliteracy

Love this act of kindness shared by Theresa Meikle. Join me in sharing a photo you took of the outdoors! 🍁 #hopescrolling #WorldKindnessDay #KindnessMatters #onted #kpdsbpride

“We all grow older, but we don’t all grow up. Impulse control isn’t inevitable. Access to feelings is the key to this transition.” Feeling grateful for the opportunity to listen to Hannah Beach with the RLDHS community.

You can’t teach a brain to wire. Free play wires a child’s brain differently than doing a required task. In free play, no one tells a child how. Moving through the challenges teaches them how to get through frustration. #BringMorePlay Hannah Beach RLDHS
