The only way to create more equity is to identify and eliminate the inequities @pgorski #YRDSBAssessment

[Stephanie Weyrich @S_Weyrich]

Be sure to emphasize the diversity within diversity @pgorski #YRDSBAssessment

How is your equity work supporting the re-distribution of access and opportunity? Awesome question from Paul Gorski. #YRDSBassessment

[Jocelyn Schmidt @MsSchmidt_YR]

"Equity is about redistributing access to opportunity - what are shifts in policy practice and curriculum that we need to do to make it equitable? How are these opportunities being distributed for equal access?" @pgorski #YRDSBAssessment

[Ming Huang 黃建銘 @MingHuang_OCT]

Grappling with this statement “Celebrating diversity isn’t about equity and justice” by @pgorski We need to rethink how we identify the voices and experiences of our marginalized Ss in schools; instead of repeating the “gentle diversity work” #YRDSBAssessment

[Stephanie Weyrich @S_Weyrich]

"Good intentions are not enough. There is an expiration date on good intentions. We need to question the intention" @pgorski #YRDSBAssessment

"There’s an ideological block. If we don’t take the time to understand why the gaps and disparities exist, then we’re not capable of coming up with strategies to fix those things." @pgorski #yrdsbassessment

[Rebecca Ross-Zaiontz @RebeccaZaiontz]

Our biggest block isn’t a practical block, the biggest block is ideological. If we don’t understand why the gaps exist then we won’t be capable of coming up with the strategies. @pgorski #yrdsbassessment

[Jocelyn Schmidt @MsSchmidt_YR]

Take away from @KarenFriedman this morning - "Equity is an instructional issue." #yrdsbassessment Excited for a full day of learning at the Assessment Summer Institute.

What might you expect to see in a play based program? How might this be used for planning a play based program? Such a great snapshot of the continuum from the @playlearninglab thanks for sharing @MsPoulis & @lynda_watters @EarlyYearsTDSB
