Beautiful reflective questions ❤️
What does it mean to take ownership of your learning? A commitment to learning & understanding creates a more informed & compassionate community. We invite educators to consider how they will own their learning to teach in a way that honors their students' whole selves. @luudisk

I had the pleasure of working with Larry for a year when he was VP at MCM. Larry is an inspiring leader and deserves to be celebrated and recognized ♥️ #BlackExcellence

Michael Fullen spoke to our cohort this morning and I am still in awe 😍 Having the opportunity to personally ask him about systems change in schools has me inspired and ready to make positive change for our learners ❤️ “Change starts at the bottom, not the top” MF

So important
What happens when the #student doesn’t have a dot? It’s crucial each #child has an #adult at #school who cares about them. #avl2023 #belonging

Today is the hardest day of the year. Saying goodbye after building community and making connections is my least favourite part of the job. Today I had to say goodbye to a beautiful group of humans as they journey onto high school. Oh the places they will go ♥️

Knowing your students is one thing. Your students knowing they are known, that is something entirely different. For some scholars knowing they are seen, valued, and cared for makes the impossible possible, makes the excluded included, and makes the inequitable equitable.

PSS students planned and facilitated 30 sessions for Wellness Day. This was the Walk and Talk session, I was blown away by the thought and care that went into these questions for students to chat with their partners about. Seeing former students as inspiring leaders warms my ♥️

Thank you to Anona for being our keynote speaker to start off KVR’s 3rd Wellness Day ♥️ Anona shared a Syilx perspective on wellness and the importance of connecting to the one, reciprocity and gratitude 🌸

I love how she reframes these spiral of inquiry questions: 1. Can every parent identity 2 educators that are listening with curiosity and empathy and who really believe in their child’s success? 2. What are WE learning about and why is it important?
In this article Kerri Steel illustrates how the decision framework can move educators & care givers beyond binary thinking to a place of empathy and understanding. ⁦@noiie_bc⁩ ⁦⁦@LindaKaser⁩ ⁦@tweetsomemoore⁩ ⁦@bmooreintheloop⁩ telp-educ-2022.sites.olt.ubc…
