Unpopular opinion but I’ll share it anyway: principals have been amazing this schoolyear. Thankless job. Angry parents. Constantly changing directives from politicians. Staff feeling beat down. Kids in crisis. And they showed up amid the chaos and did their best.

Students in 3 cohorts, most at home, co-constructed our classroom expectations today, grouping together similar ideas using Jamboard. We are working to build community as best we can!

We are talking about ways to create a culture of caring in #destreamed math and love this idea! #relationships1stcurriculum2nd #CastleMathematx @MathManAnusic @MrSamirChawla @shakti_pat
"Tell me about yourself without TELLING me about yourself." Inspired by #TikTok, here's another intro activity that I'm trying out to give students an opportunity to share visually instead of verbally - although we may use small group chats to discuss!

I joke telling my students that one of my favorite hobbies is "listening to how other people think mathematically" but it's actually not a joke.

Destreaming of grade 9 will benefit Ss. Curriculum from MOE & @Sflecce urgently needed so that teachers & schools can effectively prepare. Another eg. of poor policy development. Hope goal is not to take credit for policy & blame teachers for poor implementation #onted #onpoli

I have never attended a staff meeting where students were able to share their challenges and needs. As system leaders we can’t do this work without prioritizing the voices of community. Shift the staff meetings to include student/parent voices. Change the status quo.

Any kind of interaction with the tools we have available (learning skills, report cards, calls home etc.) - those are our opportunities to be transformational for the Black students we serve- not police them further. @MzNelsun #PushoutVoicEd

I just completed this and learned a lot in a short time. Do you know the difference between: Race - Racialization - Racism - Racial Discrimination? Lots of real world examples too. Totally worth 30 minutes of your time. #Peel21st #CastleEML

Feels like momentum for learning about destreaming is growing (yay!), so I'm sharing a destreaming choice board again to encourage more learning & sharing. There are podcasts, blogs, videos, reports, panel discussions, even a hip-hop video. Link: bit.ly/destreamingchoiceboar…

This is huge for our current work destreaming! Great conversation today with @cshiffman @ICRyTack
there’s a huge difference between “all are welcome” and “this was created with you in mind”.
