Thank you to @TOCouncilFire for visiting Northern SS today. Your words and music have put wind under the wings of students at Northern and Kensington CS. The TRC’s Calls to Action were crystallized for many today. @tdsb@UIEC_Tdsb#nssrocks

Currently innovating a data management system w support from @HollyinTO. The goal is to operationalize the IEP with a tool that improves the efficacy of tracking progress, informing planning and providing richer parent communication. #equity
Moving towards a credential program where students make their own 'brainy' buttons for demonstrating independence of specific expectations and 'buddy' buttons for meeting ALT program goals. #Autism@tdsb
