Hi, my name is pronounced Sosan Nawzim and @NeetuGarcha inspired my students and I to re-introduce ourselves using our real names. #sd36learn

[Neetu Garcha @NeetuGarcha]

What’s in a name?

I explored that question for my article: https://t.co/ZQdCSdYq1O

Check it out for more on what I heard from linguistics experts, people who’ve had challenges with their own names, how I’ve been saying mine wrong most of my life and why I decided to stop now.

Some great learning took place @PeaceArchElem during Black History Month ✊🏿 #sd36learn

[White Rock RCMP @WhiteRockRCMP]

Thank you for your authenticity, humanity & vulnerability. #CoreyHirsch your presentation to @Surrey_Schools Peace Arch Elementary was inspiring. The ripple effect will reach far beyond our students & our community. #MentalHealthMatters #MentalHealthAwareness #BellLetsTalk

@HazhirMariam @Tamanawis This is so amazing 🙌🏽

[Susan Nazem @Ms_Nazem]

I consider myself so lucky to get to teach at my previous grade 7 students’ high school and to get to see them grow into beautiful adults with such bright futures. #FullCircleMoment @Surrey_Schools

Thank you to all of the organizers @Surrey_Schools & @SSSAA_SD36 for providing our students with an opportunity to show off their athletic abilities and beautiful smiles.

@ohana_annie @nederdhillon @queenesec Thanks for attending! A student said it best: “Tonight felt like we were one big family.”🥰

[Susan Nazem @Ms_Nazem]

The BIPOC Liberation Collective @queenesec did a phenomenal job organizing an Iftar dinner for our school community 🙌🏽 #sd36learn

Our first BASES talent show was a huge success! Needless to say, the judges were very impressed 👏🏽@Surrey_Schools

“We are like a box of crayons. Each one of us is unique but when we get together, the picture is complete.” Thanks @sharyl90690228 for the fabulous team costumes 😊 #inclusion @Surrey_Schools

[Susan Nazem @Ms_Nazem]

So excited to be given the opportunity to learn and unlearn from this book club @Surrey_Schools

[Ms. Hurtubise @MsHurtubise]

Beautiful quote to start today’s book study of “Is Everyone Really Equal?” #sd36learn

[Susan Nazem @Ms_Nazem]

Biggest takeaway: Each classroom is like traveling to a diff country. The child doesn’t change, but the barriers do. Our job is to work on removing these barriers. The less barriers around, the fewer resources will be needed. @tweetsomemoore @KatieNovakUDL #InclusivePractices

@MrsCHeidrich @ArtichokeKid I haven’t! I will check it out - thanks 😊

Starting the year learning about the importance of a growth mindset 🧠 #ThePowerOfYet #sd36learn

[Susan Nazem @Ms_Nazem]

@MrMagsOffice Time in class should be provided to practice skills taught and allow students the opportunity to ask for help. Those who don’t get it done could be expected to finish it for homework.

[Susan Nazem @Ms_Nazem]

@MrMagsOffice I agree that additional work shouldn’t be assigned for homework as many students don’t have someone at home to help (language barriers, working parents etc.), some have extra-curricular activities, & some have part-time jobs.

[Susan Nazem @Ms_Nazem]

Students demonstrated great grit when learning how to finger knit 🧶 #MothersDay #SD36Learn
