Has been a privilege to be part of the inclusive education working group!The public education funding formula & allocation has not changed since 2002 & while the current system meets the needs of some students, other students with unique learning needs could be better served.
Lets take off our rose-colored glasses. As community members we must celebrate success on road to organizational transformation,but we have to remember that honesty and trust are crucial aspects of any change process. We need to focus on improving equity of education outcomes.
A great joint conversation with other working groups to learn more about new Funding Model Implementation @FSIBC@InclusionBC
Let’s focus all our efforts,talents and resources on improving students success! #InclusionMatters
Heading into another inclusive education working group to discuss Public School Funding Model at Ministry of Education in Victoria! #awareness#InclusionMatters
Hey Alberta friends if you care about GDP & productivity, education is the one factor that goes into that. You have to be focused on (education) and it should be the No. 1 priority, along with health care, for your provincial government. Understand the proposed education reforms
Going home after another great session at Ministry of Education representing @FSIBC Privileged to be working with parents, teachers, support staff school administrators & others to help shape the path forward to make education funding work better for kids in the classroom
Unfortunately stigma around ASD keeps families from seeking a diagnosis and services for their children. Parents are scared of kids being diagnosed because they feel it'll label them and affect how other people think of them.
@alejandroforsc1 I firmly believe that students diagnosed prior to kindergarten should be identified at the time of registration in the Spring and have supports in place at public school when they start on day one. #bced
Though ASD can be reliably diagnosed by age 2 for most children, the average age of diagnosis is 5. Early intervention is crucial;it can translate to a lifetime of impact by supporting healthy development,decreasing challenging behaviors & leading to positive outcomes in life.
@DeeBeattieNW Thank you for all your insight on work that EAs do. We need to know that they do more than provide support for youth across the education system.
They support the teacher in the classroom & ensure pupils can gain the most from each lesson & encourage kids in need of extra help!
I have been reflecting on what is next & how I can find new ways to contribute to the community. I am happy to announce that I will be joining the Board of Directors of two valuable organizations that have a history of providing solid community support @FSIBC & @purpose_school
