Truth and reconciliation work is not an event, it needs to imbedded into daily activities in society and especially in schools.

[Miss Fioret @EFioret]

Thank you to @UWinEdSoc for hosting an insightful panel discussion about the truths that need to be taught in the classroom. Reflecting together on the gaps in our past education helps us to fill them for our students. #UWinWearsOrange

[TVDSB Mental Health @TVDSBcares]

In situations that cause uncertainty and fear, try these three things (with kids too!):
1. Normalize (My feelings are valid )
2. Find perspective (This is hard AND it won’t last forever)
3. Reality check expectations (I will try my best AND I may need help)

PSA:

If you've never taught, you shouldn't be making decisions about education.

[Miss McCurdy 🍎 @_MissMcCurdy]

@MrGagnon2 @bonstewart Agreed. Relating to programs that students are already engaged in could be a great way of getting them to consider this concept. #unboundeq

[Miss McCurdy 🍎 @_MissMcCurdy]

@daynast52949993 @CelesteVigneux @bonstewart Exactly, awareness is key! #unboundeq

[Miss McCurdy 🍎 @_MissMcCurdy]

@CelesteVigneux @bonstewart I agree. Social media is a great way to engage our students and reach a number of people outside of the area we are in as well! #unboundeq

[Miss McCurdy 🍎 @_MissMcCurdy]

@bonstewart A4: When we refer to social media platforms, educational platforms, and search engines in class we can always remind students of the existence of algorithms. #unboundeq

[Miss McCurdy 🍎 @_MissMcCurdy]

@bonstewart A4: We can teach leaders & decision-makers about algorithmic bias & the impacts it has on lives & society through normalizing it in topics of conversation, in the classroom especially and reminding others of its existence so it's not forgotten. #unboundeq

[Miss McCurdy 🍎 @_MissMcCurdy]

@bonstewart A3: Allowing these apps to find what they feel you as the consumer wants to see and hopefully buy, if applicable. #unboundeq

[Miss McCurdy 🍎 @_MissMcCurdy]

@bonstewart A3: I would start by just letting my students know that when they agree to terms of privacy on apps such as Facebook, they are actually agreeing to have their information searched & sold. #unboundeq

[Miss McCurdy 🍎 @_MissMcCurdy]

@MrGarrick1 @bonstewart I agree with this. As many people aren't aware of algorithms and applications selling their information. #unboundeq
