I believe context is the window to understanding.
I believe kids deserve to feel safe and respected in the classroom.
I believe every child’s voice deserves to be heard.
I believe teachers must care for the WHOLE student; mind, body, and spirit.
I believe every student learns differently and teachers must be adaptable.
I believe that prejudice, racism, and sexism have no place in a classroom.
I believe we must decolonize the education system, every student deserves to learn about Indigenous history and current issues.
I believe teachers are the ceramists and students are the clay.
I believe teachers have a lot to learn from their students, and therefor need to avoid aggressive power dynamics.
