This is my good friend Conor, who proudly dressed up as Belle. Today his mom posted this: “This is Mr Sinclair. They were having gender discussions in class and some of kids were saying that boys cant wear dresses so today he dressed up as Wonder Woman.” #BELIKEMRSINCLAIR

Here I will share my lesson plans for my students who will not be coming to school for the next two weeks. These plans were developed with my friend @pennykittle , as well as from input from some of my ELA colleagues at Magnolia High School. But before I share, some thoughts:

#PresumingCompetence is the easiest or the hardest barrier to #inclusion. The hardest because you can’t force someone to believe in ability. The easiest because believing in ability costs nothing. It requires zero resources. The ? is, what side of history do you want to be on?

I just asked a 3rd year teacher what she’s learned as a new teacher. Her advice:
1) Pay attention to the needs of your kids... not just the standards.
2) Talk through behavior issues; don’t JUST assign consequences.
3) Rely on your colleagues.
4) Take things in stride.

Talk about it...Think about it...Do something about it!!! It's Mental Health week. Information sharing=a good start. Aligned/purposeful/supportive action=even better.1 week's not enough. Every day we can make a key difference for the kids who need it most caringforkids.cps.ca/handout…

OK but @glenhansman , this is exactly my point. These ”additional staff” don’t exist. Even if we had all the funding in the word, there will never be enough people. Because ALL kids need support, not just kids with designations. 1/10

When we take time to build relationships with the adults around us, it doesn’t really have anything to do with student achievement. But it has everything to do with culture. And in the right culture, teachers will thrive, students will thrive…and the achievement will increase.

Some adults can think back to a single teacher who didn’t give up on them -- who helped them get it turned around. You can be that teacher.

Tomorrow… we will be one of the reasons our students have a good day… or a bad day. We shouldn’t kid ourselves… we are always a reason.

If you want to succeed with a difficult kid…you have to separate the attitude from the student. You don’t lower your standards, but you understand that there is always something motivating the behavior. Understanding leads to empathy… and empathy makes a relationship possible.

#SD8Lead George Couros is provocative; his presentation continues to resonate. Well into the next day, I think about myself as an educator and leader, my practice under scrutiny through the lens of words captured from our day together, words with the power to incite innovation.

If you were to let go of something, to make room to nurture inclusion better, what would it be? “I would let go of saying “this is my class!” Because these kids are all of ours!” ❤️ @sd42news

"We forget that our responsibility isn’t solely to teach memorization or the mechanics of a task but to spark a curiosity that empowers students to learn on their own.
To wonder.
To explore.
To become leaders."
