What are #microaggressions? How do they look in K-12 education? The slightest forms of communication can create & perpetuate oppressive learning environments. What can we do as educators? WATCH: bit.ly/edtivists 🎒 ✊🏾#edtivist

It is critical for Ss to understand their role as treaty people. These teachings must begin from a place of love & strength and not oppression. @ChrustyTina, @Erin_R_Z & I put this tool together to build a foundation before #OrangeShirtDay teachings. #TRC bit.ly/primaryTRC62

Microaggressions - "the micro refers to the everyday regular mundane reactions, not its severity. The severity comes.. in its cumulative effect" 'Your name is too difficult, can I say it this way?' thestar.com/news/atkinsonser…

I had a parent ask me ‘Can I call you Ms I? or Ms Indra? It’s easier for me.” When I let her know my name matters to me just the way it is and I will be patient as she learns to pronounce it correctly, she smiled and understood. Thank you for inspiring me to have courage.
