This video camera study showed that less than 5% of people on bikes broke traffic laws while riding, yet 66% of people did so when driving. And if you REALLY want even MORE bike-riders to obey laws, build more protected bike infrastructure. Via @carltonreid

@AllinaLeeDavis Beautiful! Where is this?

[Chris Sands @CCSands14]

Today, students from @TheHill_WHCI (mainstream and DD-ISP) spent time with Miinikaan - an Indigenous garden design company - to learn more about food sovereignty, important plants, and to start planning an Indigenous school garden!

Israeli troops have besieged the last three functional hospitals in north Gaza, a new chapter in a conflict that has targeted hospitals with an intensity and overtness rarely seen in modern warfare. The AP spent months collecting their stories. https://t.co/ftPrkO02J1

Did you know? That none of this is true.

Research has shown ABA is extremely harmful, and breaches basic human rights. Its own research is full of COI’s, studies have linked it to causing PTSD, and it breaches the UNCRPD.

People never post the ‘evidence’ with these statements

Great learning session this morning with our @TDSB_SLP Jessica and the DD-ISP staff, getting comfortable with navigating the TD Snap app to support communication

[Chris Sands @CCSands14]

Meaningful collab for @TheHill_WHCI Native Studies Art students to create spoons labelling the various @PollinateTO plants planted and tended to by the students in the DD program

@shelleylaskin @tdsb With respect, not sure it's fair for trustees to abdicate responsibility for current feelings around excursions

The @tdsb trustees unanimously supported two motions tonight - the one below and to review our Excursions Policy this cycle. We have to get this right.

Students at @TheHill_WHCI participate in a school-wide event for #TruthAndReconciliationDay, planting strawberries to recognize the impact of Residential Schools and honour Indigeneity.

[Chris Sands @CCSands14]

Today @TheHill_WHCI DD program staff kicked off our professional learning about interception, co-regulation & relationships, and proprioception, supported by our awesome PT, Hardi, and various @TDSB_OTPT resources

The stark reality of what people on bikes have to face with daily. But by all means, continue to remind cyclists how you saw one drive through a quiet street stop sign once.

Scarborough's Josh Liendo wins Silver in the 100m Butterfly 🥈

[Jeff Hall @JHallinPeel]

In addition to transphobia, misogyny and racism, disability is also in the mix here as so much emphasis is placed on “ideal” bodies that are surveilled for normalcy and kept in check with normative violence.

This week, two loved, innocent people were violently killed by drivers. A pregnant mom walking in a #WalkTO crossover, and a #BikeTO woman forced out of cycle track by a dumpster placed in it. Where's the crisis alarm and #ONpoli funding boost for #VisionZeroTO?!?#TODeadlyStreets

Unlearning the harmful norms that are embedded in Health and Physical Education (#HPE) spaces is a crucial step if we are to provide #EveryStudent with affirming school sport opportunities. Read our blog, Re-imagining the Purpose of School Sport for more: https://t.co/9l9EBHu3rU

The best teachers I know show respect to students & they receive it in return.

The best teachers I know show enthusiasm to students & they receive it in return.

The best teachers I know show subject expertise to students & they receive it in return.

It’s not rocket surgery.

We should definitely keep funding Catholic schools, why do you ask?

[Chris Sands @CCSands14]

Eventually we're going to stop pretending that these school boards should be publicly funded, right?
