@thomasson_engl @MrVaudrey Lol I try! Lucky that my current and previous admin team were all parents as well. The culture for both those teams was that if you can do the work at home after kids go to bed there’s no reason not to. Even with that occasional after bedtime work, not 12 hour days for me.

VERY COOL STORY: Siyamiyateliyot Elizabeth Phillips is the last fully fluent speaker of Halq’eméylem, the Fraser Valley's original language.
Now in her 80s, she's working to build her language for the 21st Century by translating words like math terms.

@JoAnnFoxEDU @Jstevens009 @CohenD @JenRoberts1 So nice to ‘see’ y’all tonight. I miss my Cali crew. Hugs to y’all from BC ❤️

[Karl Lindgren-Streicher @LS_Karl]

@CohenD And all those places made ideas that could be scary to you at your school seem not scary because you knew someone who tried it. #caedchat It was a sense of courage for me I think.

[Karl Lindgren-Streicher @LS_Karl]

@JoAnnFoxEDU @PrincipalTodd It does now! :) #caedchat

[Karl Lindgren-Streicher @LS_Karl]

A6: Never considered leaving the classroom for an admin role until I had a conversation w/ @PrincipalTodd. I met Todd through #caedchat and then #edcamp.

[Karl Lindgren-Streicher @LS_Karl]

@JenRoberts1 @PrincipalTodd Hi Jen :)

[Karl Lindgren-Streicher @LS_Karl]

@CohenD @PrincipalTodd Kids are in bed. Wanted to say hi to y’all :) #caedchat

[Karl Lindgren-Streicher @LS_Karl]

Proud to have worked on this with my #sd42 crew @KennethHeadley, @wchow15, and @GrantFrend.

The #LBTS21 article Anti-Racism Reminders for BC Administrators calls on all educators to understand the necessary work of anti-racism & decolonization, and to create safe, & inclusive spaces for students & staff so that they can feel both seen & empowered https://t.co/QhtI1lc7nl

The average Canadian spends $91 on fireworks today. Consider donating that money to a group engaged in reconciliation and healing such as the Indian Residential School Survivors Society: https://t.co/rpSam1b84A

Fascinating information here. Clearly, BC needs to do better with how we name our schools... #bced #bcedchat

There are 1,386 public schools in British Columbia.

I researched the backstory of each and every name.

Here's what I found.

George Floyd became a symbol, but he was also a man. He had hopes, dreams, and people who loved him.

It was his life that mattered, not just his death.

Take a moment today to reflect and to pray for his family.

Talented LIS student made stickers for staff! #NLPS

My dude @GrantFrend is running for Board of Directors for the #bcpvpa. He is an awesome leader and has centred Indigenous Ways of Knowing, Anti-racism, and Equity in his statement because he is committed to #liftingvoices and tackling #SystemicRacism #bced #sd42 #sd41 #sd36learn

[Karl Lindgren-Streicher @LS_Karl]

If you were building an educational leader who was a staunch co-conspirator, what qualities would you look for? #bcedchat #caedchat

[Karl Lindgren-Streicher @LS_Karl]

@MsVictoriaOlson @teachermrskhan @shareski I’m here for coffee snobbery :)

[Karl Lindgren-Streicher @LS_Karl]

And not to centre just inequities and oppression: how can you complicate the single story of the Black experience as oppression? #bcedchat How can you share Black achievements, advancements, and successes?

[Karl Lindgren-Streicher @LS_Karl]

A7: If you're not sure about this answer - like I am - what can you do in the next year so that Black History Month doesn't feel like something different in your school? #bcedchat How can you centre conversations about inequities so BHM doesn't feel forced in your context?
