Reflecting on STEM education this morning and what goes into a real and authentic STEM program.
#OntEd
I’m so happy for these young hockey players.They have all been on the opposite end of the scoreboard more times than not over the years.Yet they have stuck w/it,rallied around one another,& are the best of sports b/c they have learned what it means to lose. So proud of them🔥🎉❤️

When your friend recommends you do some writing, & you answer! @NickBertrand9 Here is the article from Principal Connections - Decolonizing Leadership #LeadFromAPlaceOfLove
Pro tip 4 institutional leadership:Tasking Indigenous staff to craft your system message about the National Day for Truth & Reconciliation is highly inappropriate & offensive. Review & feedback sure, but the labour is not ours to undertake. Own your responsibility in this work.
This is the type of transformative work we need to continue to realize in education.This is precedent setting, & has the potential to completely shift the language landscape in #Onted.Congrats to the communities, language leaders, school boards & to my brother @TroyMaracle❤️this!
You know it’s gonna be a good morning when you pair treaty edu w/ raisin free butter tarts! Nyawen’ko:wa @EMacGillHDSB i-STEM students & staff for the early invite to help position responsibility to the land and each other, in the design phase of project thinking. @Muhammad_UZ

It was an honour to connect with @WRDSB System Leaders yesterday for our inaugural System Leaders Meeting of the 2022-23 school year. I was so excited to share our new Strategic Plan which centres #StudentVoice and empowers us to support ALL students reaching their potential.

I am so proud of Team Haudenosaunee. @IrqLax Silver isn’t what we came for at the @2022WJLC but these young men played with heart, character and represented their communities well. #TogetherAsOne #MoreThanAGame

Team Haudenosaunee warming up for the semi-final game against Team USA in the @2022WJLC Even during stretching, the connection with sticks remain.
Very proud of this little 10yr old gem. She crushed the 5k Butter Tart Festival Run this morning. Her rationale: part of her off-season dryland training for hockey. My rationale: any reason to get my hands on some raisin free butter tarts. #noraisins

Latest from me:
Pope says genocide took place at Canada's residential schools for Indigenous children | CBC News cbc.ca/news/indigenous/pope-…
#OntEd After the events of this week if you want to be a part of meaningful action to support #reconciliation & justice, here’s something you can do…Teach about the doctrine of discovery as the foundation for genocide,racism, and dispossession. Ps It’s already in the curriculum.
Here’s a provocation from Tadodaho- Sydney Hill and Oren Lyons to get you going. vimeo.com/377732481
