TDSB Secondary VP, committed to leadership as service. I believe that behaviour is communication and student success is more than grades. Living my dream.

I can now share that I'm changing roles and moving over to serve as VP of Secondary Alternative Schools -East. I am very excited for this new adventure! I am also grateful for the last 5 years at my current school- it will always be in my heart as a profoundly beautiful place.

A very interesting article about building neurodivergent-affirming learning spaces...

Huge gratitude for dozens of dedicated staff who took most of our school to the zoo today. Families and kids so thrilled about the experience!

I have gotten out of the habit of reading these monthly calendars- some great ideas here!

I hope everyone finds the peace and self care they need this weekend.

Small things that make me happy #1: drinking coffee while my gorgeous cat makes little sleep noises and movements next to me.

[Jennifer Rochon (she/her/elle) @happyteacher]

Because it's the weekend - let's remember that self care isn't selfish.

Today I am incredibly grateful for people that push me to explore outside my comfort zone. I am blessed.

@jontaffer Please do a spot on the Simpsons - maybe a rescue of Moe's?

One of our students brought in a "Ramadan Mubarak" banner from home. I was adjusting it in the hall today and another student stopped and her eyes lit up. She pointed to the banner, then to herself, and said, "Me too!" This joy and belonging made my day ☺️

Today I saw evidence of how trusting relationships with caring adults can impact young people over time. Our work is a gift.

This Canadian is incredibly hilarious AND he does not use verbal speech. He uses Text-to-Speech #assistivetech to do stand up #comedy! He’s finalist on #AGT and a fantastic example of why we should #presumecompetence and not let #diagnosis define limits! https://t.co/A6LxqQwrOC

Two weeks ago my sweet mother passed away unexpectedly. Tomorrow is my birthday. Lots of big feelings and thoughts to process. Grief is messy and our only way forward is to push through.
