@paonesl @CPCOofficial Final thoughts: This was a great experience! Not only an opportunity to dialogue but also to use a tool I had never used before. Thanks Lou for a great learning experience and for pushing me beyond my comfort zone! #PQP2

@marybradfordACS @paonesl @CPCOofficial Absolutely, what better way to learn about the impact of these strategies than asking school members !

[Kathy Ciapanna @KCiapanna]

@MsKingSr @paonesl @CPCOofficial Love this!

[Kathy Ciapanna @KCiapanna]

@paonesl @CPCOofficial The impact can be assessed by looking at student and parent engagement. Engage student voice through open door policies, anecdotal notes, surveys, and observation. Look at grades, student behaviour and attendance. #PQP2

@melanieoneil74 @paonesl @CPCOofficial Absolutely Melanie! Diversity needs to be embedded in our curriculum! It cannot be discuss occasionally.

[Kathy Ciapanna @KCiapanna]

@marybradfordACS @paonesl @CPCOofficial Yes! We should use our community resources. Engaging student voice is important as well!!

[Kathy Ciapanna @KCiapanna]

@lori_liguori @paonesl @CPCOofficial Absolutely, students must feel safe and respected!! This is imperative in an inclusive classroom!

[Kathy Ciapanna @KCiapanna]

@paonesl @CPCOofficial Effective instruction is key! Giving our students opportunities to engage in learning experiences that develop them as self-directed learners. Building on their prior knowledge, interests, strengths and learning styles. #PQP2

[Kathy Ciapanna @KCiapanna]

@paonesl @CPCOofficial Let’s involve our community members! Bring in diverse guest speakers to share their experiences. Parent involvement is also key - provide them with opportunities to be active participants in their child(ren)‘s learning. #PQP2

[Kathy Ciapanna @KCiapanna]

@paonesl @CPCOofficial An inclusive classroom feels safe. All students are supported and respected. Educators are aware of their students’ life experiences and high expectations are held for ALL students. Cultural uniqueness is nurtured. #PQP2
