Students at ODSS are learning about language and all it inspires. National Indigenous Languages Day is March 31st. @ugdsb #ilostmytalk #cominghome #revitilization #nationalindigenouslanguagesday

[Susie Chamberlain @SavingSusie]

Today students mailed close to 200 letters to Prime Minister Trudeau, asking him to have a heart for First Nations children. #HaveAHeartDay @ugdsb @OAnnouncements @CaringSociety

[Susie Chamberlain @SavingSusie]

Today, at ODSS, we did the learning and wrote the letters. In Canada, every student deserves equal access to opportunities, including those living in First Nation communities. #haveaheartday @FNcaringsociety @ugdsb @OAnnouncements

Education needs less of this:

- We've always done it this way
- Teaching behind closed doors
- Overemphasis on compliance over creativity

And more of:

- Educators learning out loud
- Innovative, risk taking leadership
- Open, collaborative learning spaces

Students of all skill levels show up daily to the ODSS Knitting Club to connect, create, and contribute to our community blanket. Thank you to the community members who donated yarn, needles, and crochet hooks. Everything you've offered is appreciated and is being used. @ugdsb

The school walked together today: to listen, to learn, to reflect. They know now what needs to be done and the role they have to play. #TruthAndReconciliation #OrangeShirtDay @OAnnouncements @ugdsb

[Susie Chamberlain @SavingSusie]

ODSS has spent the past week learning the truth. Tomorrow we walk together and commit to acts of reconciliation. #everychildmatters #OrangeShirtDay #truthandreconciliation @ugdsb @OAnnouncements

Does anyone know the origins of the line “we are all carving our names in a block of ice on a hot July day”? I heard it years ago when I was teaching in Ireland, but I can’t remember who wrote it. Yeats? Joyce? @POETSorg @PoetryFound @poetswritersinc @poetrymagazine @poetshouse

Decolonization does not mean...a total rejection of all theory or research or Western knowledge...it is about centring our concerns & world views and then coming to know and understand theory & research from our own perspectives and for our own purposes.

—Linda Tuhiwai Smith

[Jairo I. Fúnez-Flores @Jairo_I_Funez]

“decolonizing methodologies has to do more than critique colonialism. It has to open up possibilities for understanding and knowing the world differently and offering different solutions to problems caused by colonialism”
