The field of English language teaching cannot fully combat native-speakerism if it does not acknowledge how this oppression is embedded in systems and ideologies of
- white supremacy
- colonialism
- capitalism
White friends: Soaking in the learning of internal self-reflection and anti-bias work while delaying the work of institutional and systemic antiracism is an expression of entitlement.
So very proud of CBowey educators who champion students, respect and care for who they are as individual learners and members of this tight knit community. Here are their cheerleaders, sending S’s off with cheers & fanfare. It’s been 30 Days of CBowey Pride🌈 @RegLavergne@OCDSB

Learning outside today with a visitor from the community. T was so generous in sharing their music, their story, and leading experiential learning with their drum. Students had a chance to listen, learn, and feel the vibrations of the instrument 💜 @RegLavergne@OCDSB
