A reminder: we teach in a culturally responsive and anti-racist manner in spite of the curriculum, not because of it.

751.

Seven hundred fifty one.

Letting that number sink in.

251 Kamloops.
104 Brandon.
38 Regina.
35 Lestock.
180 Carlisle.

And now 751…

That’s just a handful of schools. So many more are to come.

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

The man who killed four innocent Muslims & orphaned one - was a Grade 8 student just 6-7 years ago. This is *why* we do the work we do in schools.

This is why conversations about race & oppression are needed. Embedded into curriculum, into instruction.

Educate.
