Dear media owners. You have played a huge role in our collective anxiety. Your insatiable hunger to gain viewers and readers thru negative news headlines and dramatic overreach only serves one purpose - your revenue. Be responsible. Act with integrity. Stop fuelling fear.

@positivereport8 There are some great resources on twitter that are diverse while promoting active anti-racism. Look at the work of @biblio_phile @pgorski @triciaebarvia @mochamomma This group of educators create some of my deepest learning around the most critical urgencies in education.

Grappling with this statement “Celebrating diversity isn’t about equity and justice” by @pgorski We need to rethink how we identify the voices and experiences of our marginalized Ss in schools; instead of repeating the “gentle diversity work” #YRDSBAssessment

We don’t fix the child, we fix the world around child. If there aren’t ppl who feel threatened by what we are doing then we aren’t doing equity hard enough. U don’t wait til privileged ppl are comfortable w/ the change. Left #asi19 #YRDSBAssessment w/ these thoughtsfrom @pgorski

Language is not a barrier and does not equate to learning. We cannot let sorting and ranking ideologies take over assessment. @YRDSB_ESL #YRDSBAssessment

Purpose of assessment is to IMPROVE learning. #YRDSBAssessment @royanlee

Some educators may say that equitable assessment and evaluation is not realistic. “Don’t forget that school is a construct!” Thanks @royanlee for saying it out loud! We have a lot of power as educators to change the practice in our classrooms to support students. #YRDSBAssessment
