@MrBBeard He ran largely on his record as I recall, and on the LRT. This article recaps his other promises.

Narrative monopoly - who controls the narrative in education.

Indigenous knowledge is framed as inferior to Euro centric @NickBertrand9 #SettlerVoicEd

Growing up, my parents would name-drop accomplished Indian mathematicians and scientists with so much pride. I rolled my eyes every time. I recall thinking to myself that if these scientists were in fact so accomplished, I would have heard about them in school. [1/8]

@hutchtheteacher Thanks for posting this! I need to double-back and look at this some more, but a quick read through the interview transcript and it sounds like the system she came up with is really just the intended implementation of the level 1-4 system!

THREAD - It's time to talk again, because even after #215children, there's a problem, and it seems to be building.

Okay let's explore the new Ontario Grade 9 Destreamed math curriculum (MTH1W), shall we?

Quick facts:
- the new curriculum has 3 more overall expectations but the same number of specific expectations compared to 2005
- the strands align with the 2020 Grades 1-8 curriculum

Parents and educators, do you care about young people’s mental health? Tell them that marks don’t define them or what they are capable of! #OntEd

If there's one thing I'll take from this Vanier Porsche thing, it's the importance of paying attention to municipal politics before these issues seem to appear put of thin air - because they probably didn't appear out of thin air. I'm certainly guilty, but never again. #ottpoli

Hey science teachers, here is an example of how to incorporate a more accurate/diverse representation of scientists in your classes. @OSSTFD25TBU #osstfpd https://t.co/Aga6KGz5K4

@J__Donner Can you state categorically that such structures exist, and are used effectively, in every District?

[Graeme Parke @MrGParke]

@and0bot @astroevrafter I do, haha. I'm a BP, and am still in the dark.

[Graeme Parke @MrGParke]

@and0bot @astroevrafter Nor for members to really know what their delegates stand for. Worse still, who their delegates even are (beyond those who are mandated to be). I'm a reasonably engaged member and you're now the only delegate I'm aware of, and this is as AMPA comes to a close.
