Putting out a call to Calgary teachers. Want a free virtual author visit or writing workshop? There are bursaries you can use between now and the end of the year. If you want something for this spring or fall, give me a shout and I'll connect you with the bursary folks.

Been reflecting on the notion of positionality & privilege in K-12 classrooms. As teachers it is critical that we are reflecting on our own positionality and the impact it might have in our classrooms. What are you bringing into your classroom that might impact the learning?

@davidwees A shared belief that *everyone* is capable of learning and being "good at" math, and that math is *so* much more than logical thinking.

The insights are simultaneously inspiring and depressing.

Louder for the people at the back, who think they’re immunologists. 👏🏽 👏🏽👏🏽

Beautiful piece that was created by gr 9 leadership students who worked with all our gr 6 classes to complete this installation for today’s Remembrance Day assembly @TMCCBE.

We loved hearing why our Local 38 members stand for education last weekend at the rally, and we want to keep the momentum going! Let us know; why do you #standforeducation? #abed

@JanisIrwin I've been trying to make sense of the rationale, and have gotten as far as thinking she is not referring to Frontline workers, but those above who have not been cut. Will keep asking questions...

[Eleanor Gillis @MsGyyc]

@JanisIrwin I think she's referring to marginalized communities?🤦🏻‍♀️

[Eleanor Gillis @MsGyyc]

@ABDanielleSmith Do you mean marginalized communities?
