“I am not assessing your work to grade you. I am assessing your work to help you. I am simply joining you in your learning, so together we can build better.”

I used to think teaching was assigning and grading the work.

Now I believe it is framing and supporting the work.

A gentle reminder:

let Indigenous people
tell our own stories
write our own novels
play our own parts in cinema
sing our own songs

Appreciate. Not appropriate.

#Ungrading is more than just removing grades. It's a fundamental belief that learning is messy, beautiful, unique, powerful. A number can't capture that.

You are more than a grade. #OntEd

It’s not hard to see that a whole lot of people who currently care about what kids read don’t appear to read much themselves. They don’t seem to understand what books do. Books provoke, heal, inspire, and educate! The power and joy of books are well-known to readers! #readingjoy

I can’t stop thinking about how we incarcerate more than any other country while claiming we can’t afford to give basic care, educational opportunities, housing / proper nutrition safety, and medical care for kids and families.

This is so backwards.

You should invest in people.

This! 🙌

We cancel others because it’s easier to write them off and let them go than it is to forgive them. Canceling is easy. Healing is hard work.

@NNS9 @mochamomma Americans not understanding or seeing that parents having to use schools as daycares is a bigger indictment on our system and the lack of funds, imagination, job flexibility, & resources directed to it…for some reason has us in a never-ending misplaced anger chokehold.

Just wrote this for an article and mean every word: "Libraries were never just about books – books are a means to an end. The end is to create literate, empowered free thinkers who can empathise with the people around them and make informed choices in their daily lives."
