Another amazing learning experience on #SelfReg with all the amazing presenters at #srss2023

Some Truths about Education - A Thread My daughter is one of the 1.8 million pupils currently classed as persistently absent from school. She's not lazy. My daughter was one of the 1.4 million under-18s referred to mental health services in 2022. The trauma is real. 1/

Announcing the 2023 Picnic for Public Education! Join us Sunday, September 17th at Kildonan Park Spot 10 from 1:00 to 3:30 to connect, collaborate and advocate for public education in Manitoba. peopleforpubliced.com/2023-picnic-fo…

This is a great #selfreg resource for the start of the school year for teachers, parents and kids. Focusing on reducing stress and relationship will help to start year of positively. Thank you for sharing!

A reminder that the PC party is focusing on parental rights, while not committing to concrete actions to help schools meet the needs of kids. This is a distraction tactic to avoid investing in the funding, resources and staffing that would actually support student well-being.

Sandy Nemeth will talk about What ‘Voting for Education’ Means for School Boards in 2023. And Rina Whitford will give a speech that is focused on Indigenous Education. We hope to see you at the Picnic for Public Education on Sept. 17 at Kildonan Park. #picnicforpubliced

As you get ready to vote, please remember that years of under-funding have resulted in strained budgets and real consequences for kids.

This incident thankfully did not end in tragedy. “With our resources being stretched so thin… people are stressed, they’re tired, they’re not on their game, and the student somehow got away.” winnipegfreepress.com/breakingnews/2…

HUGE NEWS! United Nations & World Health Organisation new report stating that the medical model of mental health needs to be overhauled; and that psychiatric diagnosis, labelling & pathologising people who are traumatised, abused, in poverty, & oppressed impacts human rights.

What a great video from the voice of the students we support. Great information for T to better support students with #ADHD #ADHDAwarenessMonth

This is...quite a chart. (It's from a new Nature article by social epidemiologists called "Why the World Cannot Afford the Rich": tinyurl.com/4pd928nx.)

He does diddly-squat on paper or computer. But he engages enthusiastically, mostly-maturely (he’s a teen), and generally-thoughtfully (sometimes, profoundly) in our daily discussions. He’s learning. Proof? Already gave it. “But…” Come on. See the tree. #Project180

The education system needs to be updated on the neuroscience understandings on child brain development.There is a lack of common knowledge,common language, and common skills. We need to create trauma informed and neuroscience informed educational systems for better outcomes 🧠🌱

“…not someone who you were in competition with to get the best grade or praise.” What a novel idea. Connection, not competition. #Project180
