#MotivationMonday Have you thought about using Read&Write as a teaching tool? Use voice notes explaining instructions or as feedback to allow students to hear them as many times as they need.

With our commitment to equity, inclusion & access for all, I call on @tdsb to insist all schools use #inclusive language & include “Roll” in @TerryFoxCanada fundraising events. Not all of us can run or walk. Some of us roll. #inclusion #accessibility @TDSB_AccessAb @TDSBDirector
