Thx @MelissaAllder for sharing your voice with us at our TVDSB ESL chat about racism in education. We need to keep having these uncomfortable conversations, it gives us insight and challenges the norms.Let’s keep learning, advocating and be the change!#Equityeducation

Have a look at this checklist on micro aggression in the classroom. Change begins when we start within. https://t.co/JfTbYP5YNH

[Kelly Corrin @kelly_corrin]

These last few weeks have really pushed me to look for ways I can change to make this world a more equitable place. I have been reading, listening and learning how to make changes. As Ts it is our responsibility to examine our own biases in order to create change.

I loved working in your classroom! Through your creativity, compassion and professionalism you transformed an empty JK/SK room into a magical place for learning!🔆@EagleHeightsPS thanks you for your exemplary work! @ELLtvdsb #bestsupplyteacherever

Before creating their squirrels nest the Ss created a plan and labeled it with the materials that they would need, and boy was it a long list! I loved how engaged and determined my Ss were at each stage 👍🏼

[Kelly Corrin @kelly_corrin]

This is true parent engagement! We need parents to share their expertise and enrich our classrooms with their life experiences and culture. Challenge yourself to move beyond pizza lunches and bake sales! @DrDebbiePushor @EagleHeightsPS

I love seeing dual language texts as part of shared reading. Ss need to see themselves, their language and culture represented in their classrooms! https://t.co/PP8p52v4Gv#culturallyresponsiveteaching @EagleHeightsPS @RobinsonJeffery

[Kelly Corrin @kelly_corrin]

Today a Ss wrote his name in both Arabic and English! Then another student came up to me with a dual language book “I can read this!”Celebrating & Welcoming L1 in our classrooms needs to be part of our daily practice! #ELLtvdsb ⁦@EagleHeightsPS⁩

[Kelly Corrin @kelly_corrin]

7 steps is filled with quick impactful strategies that had us all talking and sharing ideas. Learning from our co-workers is often the best and most meaningful PD! What an amazing group of educators @EagleHeightsPS @RobinsonJeffery

[Sheri Sheppard @Sheppard1Sheri]

Digging Deeper into the 7 Steps to a Language-Rich Interactive Classroom. Sharing strategies and rationale @EagleHeightsPS. Creative ideas to support all learners in all divisions. @ELLtvdsb #BetterTogether #collaboration #BookClub #sentencestems

[Kelly Corrin @kelly_corrin]

There is no other job I would rather do! Everyday I am able to learn along side of my Ss and help them discover how capable they are. They make me laugh, smile and give me hope for future generations. Being part of their newcomer journey is such a privilege.

@sheilapowell18 We need to get to know our families. Seek to understand. Find ways to work around language differences. When we listen to a family's hopes and dreams for their child we soon discover we often have the same goals #teamwork @EagleHeightsPS #familyvisits @ELLtvdsb

[Kelly Corrin @kelly_corrin]

Great night with @DrDebbiePushor learning to create authentic meaningful parent engagement where parents have a voice and space in their children’s teaching, learning and development #familyvisits @EagleHeightsPS #parentengagement #walkalongside #ELL
