For all you parents, grandparents, educators, and journalists who have been reaching out to me asking how to talk to kids about Residential School...here’s a lil video I made for you🧡

What makes children “ready for school” is not a prior grounding in academic rudiments. It is feeling safety and joy in a school environment.

Silverthorne elementary students provide the traditional welcome to the SD54 Indigenous Education professional learning day. Great work by @JanaRFox1 @birdysophia @cheryl_cbecker in collaborating to bring this day of learning together via Zoom. @BeForster @McDiarm57701680

Going through my comic collection (mainly Disney) at a similar time to this popping up on my thread. I’ll admit I’m intrigued (fell in love with the term “imagineering” while watching a Disney 360 degree movie)

Amazing - congratulations @HeatherLeeLytle

Heather Lee - Smithers Secondary’s extraordinary drama teacher flanked by Superintendent, Mike Mcdiarmid and Principal, Julie Krall. Heather recently honoured by BC Drama Teachers Association with a Distinguished Service award. 👏🎭 @jkrallSD54 @McDiarm57701680 @HeatherLeeLytle

It may seem minor to some, but hoping that more non-Indigenous educators refrain from using "our" when referring to learners/students (or any other group of Indigenous peoples). That little possessive word carries the weight of colonial paternalism. Words matter.

[Bev Forster @BeForster]

@SD57PG Congrats Ann!!

David Mark and Darcy McNee share how teacher leaders were able to reinvent the school library as a learning commons through collaborative work, flexibility and reciprocal relationships. Read the #Principled article here: https://t.co/LnGd1vO91g @DavidMa89309312 @DarcyMcNee

Day 4 later today of getting signs out to our #GradBC2020 #BrooksGrads #powellriver @sd47_board @BCPVPA so happy to be finding ways to celebrate them. #WeAreAllInThisTogether Couldn't do it without our #brooksstaff help.

An amazing, classy ceremony to honour the graduates of Houston Secondary - tremendous efforts from the staff and community to produce a meaningful conclusion to the first stage of the learning journey of these young people while physically distanced and safe. 👍

[Matthew Monkman @mmonkman]

COVID may be happening but learning has continued in SD54 - here Smithers students in the pipe fitting/welding program at Houston Secondary were excited to demo the plasma cutter for me. 👍@McDiarm57701680 @sd54BV @jakgrice @craig_mcaulay @danderson0054
