Inspiring day working with Indigenous Siyams from each middle school in Abbotsford at the Indigenous Centre. #resources #teachertalk #abbyschools

This will be my 30th year working in public education. I took some time to reflect on lessons learned along the way. https://t.co/tq1lWlckcr #bced #edtech #abbyschools #edchat #Learning #lrnchat

Kudos to the Swift PAC and volunteers for putting on a wonderful Carnival at Thomas Swift elementary on Friday night. Nothing but smiles on faces! 🤩👏 #abbyschools #carnival #bigsmiles

Happy Administrative Assistant’s Day to all the amazing people who are the heart of a school. Feel lucky to work with these rockstars @CGHBulldogs every day. #SimplyTheBest @AbbotsfordSD

[Shawn Davids @sdavids51]

One of the many things I love about @AbbotsfordSD is the focus on the successful transition of Indigenous students. Today @CochraneEDU and I visited our @TenBroeckSchool & John MacLure incoming 5s creating their drums and watched our @CGHBulldogs Gr 8s work on their paddles.

Teacher Morale is more important than programs, curriculum or technology!

Shout out to the dynamic LLC Team at @Howemiddle for genrefying their non-fiction collection. Reorganizing and displaying books this way increases student access and engagement with texts. Circulation of non-fiction books has increased by 47% in ONE MONTH. 🤩 @AbbotsfordSD

I am looking at the pre-colonial history of the Indigenous people of each province.

Today, I am looking at the Kwakwakaʼwakw people of Northern Vancouver Island & the Discovery Islands.

Their name means Kwak'wala-speaking-peoples.

I encourage you to dig deeper beyond the surface and put in the work. It is your responsibility to become more ethical than what you grew up knowing. There comes a time when silence becomes betrayal. If you are tired of hearing about it, imagine how tired people are living it.🩸

Our @clayburnmiddle Indigenous grade eights have worked hard designing and customizing their paddles for our upcoming paddling trip in May. Check them out!🤩🛶🎨 #ClayburnMiddle #AbbySchools #IndigenousEducation #Paddling

Merci beaucoup a les etudiants et professeurs pour le carte. What an experience to travel to Quebec and then host exchange students here in Abbotsford! @MrsCal1 #quebecexchange #abbyschools

[Sydney Ned @sydney_ned]

The Gr.8 Indigenous students are starting their paddle designs to work on their very own customized paddle for our year end trip! We gathered today and enjoyed some sushi! 😁🛶 @clayburnmiddle #abbyschools #paddleproject

[Nicolas Cochrane @CochraneEDU]

How nice it was to get into class and play some student invented “Early Humans” board games. #creativity #learningbycreating #abbyschools

[Nicolas Cochrane @CochraneEDU]

@sydney_ned Inspired by your journal thoughts Sydney. You live up to every word.

[Sydney Ned @sydney_ned]

Thankful for these amazing co-workers for their words, teachings & support during a triggering & heavy week. Team work & leaning on one another reminds us of our inner strength. It is ok to feel difficult things. It is ok to lean on one another.🧡 #abbyschools @clayburnmiddle

[Nicolas Cochrane @CochraneEDU]

The drumming welcome 🙏 set the tone for a respectful Orange Shirt Day assembly where the Clayburn community learned lessons about Truth & Reconciliation. #abbyschools #TruthAndReconciliation

[Nicolas Cochrane @CochraneEDU]

What a great way to celebrate Indigenous Peoples day by joining a paddling journey on Alouette Lake. #dayofpaddling #abbyschools #canoeingintograde9

People are complicated.

Leading them isn't.

A simple plan for leading well:
