New: At least 11 employment programs, many focused on people with disabilities, have ended in the past year after the Ford govt's changes.

@RevDaniel I had an AV person with me when something went wrong that shouldn’t have been possible. I made him promise the next time someone had an issue that he would remember that moment and just…believe them and be helpful. Technology is great…when it works

A child sitting in the corner of a classroom doing a colouring page while the rest of their peers learn actual curriculum is NOT actual inclusion.

Simply sharing the same physical space is not enough.

Thank you for coming to my #EdTalk.

@LindsayMasland Then we move on to first course related activity, I try to make it something we can loop back to in the final class to make a connection, specific to each course. And for classes with a semester long group project we write out group contracts

@LindsayMasland 1st activity students write name tags with preferred name/pronouns, they introduce themselves to me so I can learn correct pronunciation. Then we do some get to know you activities or icebreakers, adjusted for group. End with survey about background, learning needs, goals etc,

@MikePMoffatt Fanshawe recently entered a partnership with ILAC in GTA and is now offering some programs there as of the 22-23 school year. Do those kinds of partnerships get reflected in the growth numbers?

“Many schools simply take the path of least resistance, which means maintaining segregation and putting kids with challenges together in a room. This denies them a truly representative education in the real world.” - @_danhabib for @truthout https://t.co/TfW5roP9IU
