Pro-D and anti-racist practices within our school

My Principal asked me today if I would be willing to share my perspective on anti-racism and our school environment. I am really excited to be able to provide an update on how my class is approaching this work in ourselves as individuals, within our classroom, and within our community. If you have not read my post titled "Morning Meetings with Ms. Gray" please do. There I share about our monthly meetings and how we revisit our goals each month to assess where we are, how we are doing, and what we can change/adapt to do a better job. 

This journey is ever evolving and the worst is critical. I have provided below the name of a few Black and Indigenous educators I follow on social media who continuously provide resources that we use in our classroom. 


Megan Tipler - tiplerteaches (IG)

Alyssa Gray-Tyghter - alyssagtyghter (IG)

Nikki La'es - nikkilaes (IG)

As a simple way to inform our learning and teaching, I am excited to share the above educators with my fellow teachers as resources they can easily learn from. I will also speak about my class and how we are continuously incorporating FPPL and Black voices in our learning.

Re-Visiting Core Competencies

  Re-Visit and Re-Engage With the shift in classroom dynamics after winter break I was reminded by a colleague the importance of core competencies and how integral they are to the structure of the classroom as well as planning and classroom goals. I cannot believe that I didn't think of this myself but there is so much on our plates as teachers it must be pretty common to let a few balls fall when juggling everything! Now that it's on my mind I have revisited the BC Curriculum and looked at my planning for the next several weeks. Some of the core competencies that I am going to focus on moving forward are social awareness as this will help my students focus in on valuing diversity in the classroom. As part of this we will look back at the First Peoples Principles of Learning and have a class meeting about how we can better engage with these tools in day to day classes. https://curriculum.gov.bc.ca/competencies/personal-and-social/social-awareness-and-responsibility As I am plan...

SEL/SLR implementation strategies

Do you need to implement SEL/SLR strategies into your classroom? Well, I can hardly believe my first full semester as a teacher has already come and gone! Now here I am in the second semester with my students newly back from winter break and honestly, I am feeling a bit overwhelmed! It seems that over the holidays lots happened in the lives of my students and they have returned with a lot of big energy. Routines we had going at the end of December are no longer working as well and I think it is time to reassess!  Looking back through my notes from WKTEP yesterday, I was reminded how important Social Emotional Learning is and have decided to re-introduce some of these strategies into my daily classes! I found this really helpful website that explains SEL/SRL and provides strategies and ways to apply these in the classroom for both my students and myself as a teacher.
