What an incredible few days spent learning with and from the Elders and Knowledge keepers at Aroland First Nation. Chi-Miigwetch to all the educators at Johnny Therriault School for welcoming me with open arms. Heart is so full 🧡
In response to 1 Million March 4 Children protests that are scheduled to take place across Canada, ETFO strongly condemns anti-2SLGBTQ+ protests.
Any actions or events that seek to undermine the rights and dignity of the 2SLGBTQ+ community must be denounced. #onpoli#onted
@Rabia_Khokhar1 Rabia, the work you are doing is incredible and keeps me going as an anti-oppressive educator! I am lucky to have you in my corner and as a mentor ❤️
Today is #NationalIndigenousPeoplesDay! I am so proud to take up space as an Indigenous educator and further my learning from Elders and Knowledge Keepers around me. I hope all Indigenous folx are able to celebrate and feel proud of where they come from today!
Big hugs and even bigger tears today saying bye to this class! Some of the most compassionate, curious, and kind learners I’ve ever met! I will miss you all so much 😭🤍
Moving and grooving this morning for some 100th day of school festivities! Thanks to Mr.Mokren’s class for leading 100 exercises to start our day! We loved it! @Ms_Paradis #100thdayofschool

Today’s language lesson focused on a read aloud of #IntersectionAllies, educating the grade 4/5’s about racial segregation in the past and ways that racism continues to be prevalent today. We looked at how WE can be a good ally and show up for those in our community! @Ms_Paradis
Joined the @TDSB_YoungWomen group at @orioleparkjps today with some of my grade 4/5s! We talked about food insecurity and the ways we can help our local community with this ongoing issue. Love seeing these empowered people think deeply about social justice concerns! @Ms_Paradis
Truly such an incredible afternoon learning about assistive tech and the ways it can completely change how learners become empowered about their education. Wow! Feeling so inspired 🤯 @The8Techdudes you are amazing!
My heart runneth way way over today. Having Stacey and @The8Techdudes, plus parents, at @OISEUofT along with our beautiful MACSE students and the incredible team @OISEEdCommons plus members of Todd Cunningam’s lab. Talking about how to transform ED. Plus Daisy the robot? Magic.
Today in Grade 4/5 we deepened our discussion on mindfulness and the ways that we can acknowledge the difference between a mindFULL or mindful brain. When we encourage learners to be in the drivers seat of their emotions and feelings, they feel empowered ✨
Such an awesome first couple of days at my block 2 placement @orioleparkjps! Working on mindfulness and it’s importance with the Grade 4/5’s. When learners understand the tools their own mind can come up with, it can make great change 🧘🏻♀️
