Many hats, many roles, many perspectives but one beginning. You know when you have arrived at a certain age or stage because your individual story is now a part of our collective story...IMPACT. xitter.gq/MbD_UofT/status/179004…

I agree. There is so much that families and community can do and must do, but they can only do so if the more powerful educator is willing to collaborate--for a true partnership to this end. I have some ideas. Engaging families is my passion, this is my life.
In order for your school-commUNITY climate to improve, your school must have a parent/caregiver and community engagement strategy. Staff buy-in is 🔑. School leaders and systems must model the way and provide the tools necessary to support this work.

I'm so tired of saying this. Talking and moving around the classroom are not special privileges. Trips & activities are not incentives. Lessons are not prizes to be won. Public school means education for all.

On this my special day, I reflect on my recent PEAC YRDSB keynote & a presentation I gave at Toronto Metropolitan University's Teaching & Learning Conference. How will we move forward with AI & other advanced communications if care & love for human beings are not prioritized?
