It's been a very exciting week in @sd54BV. We celebrated @NCWeek and presented in elementary school classrooms, the high school and shared information with educators. We reached 100s of students and the message was clear: Students wanted to learn even MORE about Neurodiversity.

“The view from the Pelican” SD54 Admin team takes to the water to beat the heat after a great day of learning. (A “pivot” from the original planned hike - who knew it would be lake weather in late August in the valley? 🌞) @sd54BV @McDiarm57701680 @chrysalis57

Working toward equity is not about understanding student needs by finding deficits, rationalizing what they can’t do and lowering expectations. It’s work to understand students unique gifts/talents and entry points so we can RAISE EXPECTATIONS.

What guides our efforts in #SelfReg is not the goal of rendering students more manageable, but rather the goal of enhancing their well-being and their capacity to learn and grow in all five of the Self-Reg domains.

[Tyler Rablin @Mr_Rablin]

When schools attempt to shift to standards-based grading without also intentionally changing their curriculum and pacing to be more flexible, they miss out on the majority of the value that SBG can offer, and it opens up the potential for SBG to actually do more harm than good.

April 19 1907. Tom Longboat wins the #bostonmarathon in 2:24:24 (39.75km at the time). Tom Longboat was only 19 and beat former Boston winners and olympians.

We cannot put a price on our principles. There is no amount of money that can justify doing what we do not believe in.

The timeline may feel short to some folks, but it feels long past due for many others. Who loses most when social justice is delayed? Are you using your privilege to support and enable? Or to delay or obstruct?When something is a priority, we find ways to make it happen.
