As educators, how might we contribute to creating loving environments? #OPCLeadLearn
Innovation in Learning title with book cover of All About Love: New Visions by Bell Hooks. Quote "Awakening to love can happen only as we let go of our obsession with power and domination... by committing to give our all to relationships; by embracing a global vision whereby we see our lives and our fate as intimately connected to those of everyone else on the planet."

🤔 As educators, how are we challenging ourselves to become more developed human beings who are able to think with more complexity and manage ourselves during uncertainty with greater compassion and awareness?

Innovation in Learning title with book cover of Stretching Your Learning Edges: Growing (Up) at Work by Jennifer Abrams.

Critical staff shortages continue in schools across Ontario. We need the government to act immediately. #OPCLeadLearn
Did You Know? The Directors of Education from school boards across Ontario have released a report calling the teacher shortage in Ontario a “crisis.” We agree. Principals and vice-principals have been advocating for immediate action to address staff shortages in schools for several years. Ask your MPP to advocate for all students in Ontario, to ensure their schools are appropriately staffed in support of safety and student achievement.
