#KNAER had the privilege of attending & participating in #OERS18 last week! This was an incredibly powerful + enriching symposium so we created a Storify story of some of our highlights 📚Check it out ➡️https://t.co/Nehnn4yx5F #TBT#Equity
“To rise above our past, we must acknowledge it” (National Geographic, April 2018).
Let’s begin by awareness and acknowledgment. Let’s move ahead by action. https://t.co/zQk4tkV1O8
The reality is that people do all this great research and then then when it comes to implementation, people are not ready to make real changes. But the more we wait, the more kids fall into the cracks. So how do we fix this? #OERS18
So many powerful words from Noor El-Husseini Thank you #OERS18 There are many reasons we’re supposed to grow up not down. Life doesn’t always rhyme. Sometimes you have to do it slowly to get it right.
As a policy writer, I want to thank
@S_Nouman_Ashraf for his profound points: Policy must be twinned with Sound Judgement AND Sound Judgement is NOT adherence to the policy, it’s adherence to empathy! #OERS18
I'm attending Panel, discussion #OERS18 https://t.co/P2sPB2c86G @CarolCampbell4 states “Assessment means to sit beside.” What a ‘reframing’ statement...perhaps we can engage in more authentic ‘assessments’ in order to break down barriers to systemic racism! @CPCOofficial
Speaking about northwestern Ontario, Sean Monteith says it’s an extremely marginalized part of Canada & in 12 yrs in his supervisory role in the education system he has lost 60 students to suicide #OERS18
There’s a large disparity in the amount of funding being raised: “Elementary schools w/ lower rates of poverty raise twice the amount of money raised in schools w/ higher rates of poverty” - @PeopleforEd #EdEquitySPNO#Equity#OERS18
How do we ensure large scale assessments are culturally relevant? Is the design inclusive? Are the results reflected in the efforts of staff and kids. #OERS18 symposium
#OERS18 Noumen Ashraf speaking about Epistemic privilege - we don’t need to apologize, we need to share it. Acknowledge it and share it to use it for impact
