SOME BEAUTIFUL ART FOR YOU:  Glenn Gould, Canadian, world-renowned pianist would have turned 90 on September 25th. Take a moment for yourself and listen to Gould play 1/4 Goldberg Variations (Bach). By all accounts, Gould was a brilliant, eccentric, remote character who was taken far too soon by a stroke at the age of 50. As you watch the video, you will see Gould’s physicality and how he occupies space. What was Gould like as a student? How would a teacher understand and be engaged with this exceptional person?

The Week of September 27 – October 1, 2021: TRUTH AND RECONCILIATION WEEK

Category: welcome to the week! Tags: , , , , , , Leave a Comment

September 30th – NATIONAL DAY OF RECONCILIATION

National Day for Truth and Reconciliation

Hello from Heather and Paul; synthesis for this week

There is a lot going on this week. First and foremost, this is National Truth and Reconciliation Week with Thursday being the first National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. The first step towards reconciliation that we all can take is to learn more about residential schools. We suggest you take an hour this week to listen to the Justice Murray Sinclair interview with Rosanna Dearchild on CBC Radio. We have compiled some resources for you – they are below. Aside from your Wednesday practicum, you also have Module 2 for the 3151 course. This week, with Tracy, you will be learning how self-reflection and consistent observation will strengthen your teaching practice. Really, learning only happens for teachers and students if they are involved in a reflective process. As well, you will have covered and reflected on the first five chapters of “How to be an Antiracist”, and posted responses to Discussion Board 2.

This week’s cohort meeting will run from 9:45 – 11:00 A.M.. We are all being asked to take the hour between 11:00 – 12:00 to do some thinking and reflecting on Truth and Reconciliation. The class agenda will include: check-ins, questions and answers about Module 2, small group discussions regarding the Kendi book, The Secret Path video.

If you were not able to attend the PLC last week, we encourage you to take a look at the recording, it contained lots of valuable information.
