By removing letter-grades and percentages from the picture, we're also getting rid of rank-and-sort.

We're saying goodbye to trophy culture.

Instead, we're saying that we are a learning community.

We pursue proficiency together because we are all developing learners.

Powerful learning & connection for 1500+ staff of the @NVSD44 at Curriculum Implementation day. On a journey towards Truth, Healing, & Reconciliation, we explored Indigenous learning thru Storytelling. We heard inspirational words & stories & witnessed brilliant dancing & song.

I just found some of my CustomInk gear, all unworn/tagged. T-shirts, long sleeve Ts, hoodies & crew neck sweatshirts—including some designs/styles no longer available. All size L.

Want some?

RT this tweet + follow me and I’ll pick a winner here and one on Instagram to get some.

At school, students should feel safe, accepted, respected + welcome, see themselves reflected in their school community, + feel empowered to be the best version of themselves. This rainbow sticker signifies our commitment to providing inclusive + supportive spaces for all. #pride

Love this! We always talk about what triggers us negatively, but it is also good to dwell on what triggers us positively!

@edgegeo Gabe I would like to acknowledge and share my appreciation of this land that I have the opportunity to enjoy every day. ❤️

Focus on racial justice in predominantly white schools:

1. Meritocracy is a myth.
2. Individuals make systems.
3. Colorblindness contributes to injustice.
4. Neutrality is a disposition of injustice.
⁦@MilnerHRich⁩ Yes, yes!

Our teachers are bending over backwards to support students and to find ways for them to be successful. And I know that has happened all over the world. Their professional commitment is inspiring.
