Feeling so incredibly proud tonight. 90% of my APLit students scored a 3 or higher! What an incredible accomplishment.

Care about the future of public education in Alberta? Got three minutes to spare?
Good.
Take our quick survey now, and help ensure public education is a political priority in the next provincial election. vlfs8a.typeform.com/post-ral…

A lesson on how to treat teachers:
Trust trained teachers to meet the needs of the students in front of us.
Don’t create punitive systems for teachers who are not effective and apply to all teachers. This holds our best teachers back.
Be nice.
Thanks for attending my TED Talk.

Please support my sister @bearclannation friends @RachelAnnSnow @anitacarstew in their legal challenge in having to swear an Oath to the Monarch to practice Law in Alberta. This is a concrete example of how Allies can help Indigenous women. Here is their gofundme.com/f/3-first-natio…

Barnes & Noble’s Banned Books section (kids edition). Please zoom in on the reasons, and question why we would ever allow to these small minded people decide what our children can read.
