White students who grow up in multicultural settings will witness prejudice. As schools, we have done little to teach our students what allyship really looks like. I challenge you to consider, what are you noticing in your schools? What are the lived experiences of your students and how are you acknowledging them? What is your action plan, your "north star" for DEIJ work?...more
THE LEARNING PRINCIPLES

By Dr. Karen L. Taylor

A profound understanding of the conditions necessary for deep learning leads naturally to high quality teaching. Consequently, classroom practice is ideally based on research-informed principles of learning that draw from a wide range of current research in education, cognitive and social psychology, and neurobiology, all of which contribute to deepening our understanding of how human beings acquire and retain knowledge to make meaning of their world... more

By Sinéad Fitzsimons

The intersectionality of gender, sexuality, and power has been widely studied by academics seeking to identify and deconstruct the often white, Eurocentric, colonial, patriarchal, heteronormative gaze that dominates a significant portion of popular history, but this is often not incorporated in social studies curricula... more

By David Miles

We must be "conscious and deliberate in all that we do because we provide examples to those we teach and in doing so we either reinforce old narratives or contribute to the creation of newer stories."... more

Would you like a walk through
of the new TIE resume?
By Daniel Kerr

So last week at our new family orientation event, I ran into a joyfully bright eyed and eager second grade girl who could not have been more excited about starting her new school life at ASP. She was mostly excited about the idea of making new friends, and she went on to tell me at length all about her foolproof strategy, which made me tear up and burst out laughing all at the same time... more

It was the first day of a new school year. At lunchtime a message appeared in my inbox with the subject line, "Where will you be teaching in 2022?" It would be errant to claim this to be the first wind I caught of peering into and "preparing" for the future. Days prior, colleagues shared how they already registered with international recruitment agencies. A part of me was left reeling, falling perfectly into the "trap" of the subject line.... more

Here are some that will work particularly well at the beginning of a new school year to share as read-alouds by librarians, classroom teachers, counsellors or administrators... more
