@EvanLSolomon@RonSexsmith Evan, you deserve an award for your journalism, patience and humanity. I love how you interact with Canadians, regardless of their views, and allow everyone to share their voice. You show incredible professionalism and restraint in the face of aggressive behaviour.
“Human beings will always be able to find arguments for confrontation and no compromise. We humans are, however, beings capable of reason, compassion and change.” – #NelsonMandela, message to the Global Convention on Peace and Non-Violence, New Delhi, India, 31 January 2004
“I am not assessing your work to grade you. I am assessing your work to help you. I am simply joining you in your learning, so together we can build better.”
I used to think teaching was assigning and grading the work.
Now I believe it is framing and supporting the work.

@LEARNQuebec Really enjoyed being a participant in this session. Listening to the speakers was very informative. As a mother and a teacher I left feeling empowered with several practical strategies for communicating during challenging times with my son and my students.
"The most important thing we can do is start to have the conversation and find solutions to make sure every student finds that pathway to success meaningful to them, understanding that may look different from the opportunities we had as kids."
