As we look toward the next three months, we move through a season of endings and beginnings, where change unfolds as a natural rhythm of the school year.

After a great BCPVPA Board of Directors meeting yesterday, I am excited about today’s workshop on good governance of boards, then Ideas and then the chapter council. Long day, but going to be great. #BCPVPA

So it was supposed to snow here in Vancouver, it hasn’t, yet, but Canadian Tire is ready!

A fantastic last two days with the BCPVPA Member Support Services, the Contract Advisory Committee and the Contract Chairs. Great learning around legal and negotiations.
Listen to understand; trust and fairness; never say yes, but…

Excited to be part of the BCPVPA Board meeting today. This amazing group from around the province does great work in supporting administrators in their work of supporting learners, families and all staff (teachers, EAs, caretakers, office and maintenance)

School returns tomorrow for many staff and students. Although I love hearing of the exciting adventures most of our community have experienced, I am always mindful that these last two weeks have been very difficult for some in our community.

@psinapod.bsky.social hope you school year is going well!

I wonder if there could be a list of those who participated on #bcedchat and see if they are here…..I like wonders….

It was a great time to connect with both BC educators and those around the world. I see some of that here on bluesky, especially with the sharings of @edusky.bsky.social

Thank you @bcpvpa.bsky.social for another incredible few days of connecting, learning and leading. The board meeting, chapter presidents’ and chapter council meetings were awesome. Having the opportunity to introduce a community partnership recipient was especially meaningful.

@vancolour.bsky.social yay! I found Mo on Bluesky. Love the Vancolour podcast.

By kist, I mean list. Sigh

A great kist of amazing connected BC educators. #bced #edusky

I am no longer in the classroom but I am sure there are some amazing educators who would love this opportunity to connect with other classes around the world!

I like the OG #bcedchat, but maybe a new and improved #bcedsky would work. I’d miss the #bcedcat threads, but maybe there is a chance to have #bcedski.

@mssackstein.bsky.social great to see you here, Starr! Looking forward to connecting with you on here!

I like that there is a #edusky here to connect educators! Very cool and reminds me of 2008 ‘other app’.

It does have that 2008 ‘bird app’ feel. Nice.

Great Crepe Truck day, yesterday, at École Pitt River Middle. All students and staff had to order in French. J'ai aimé la crêpe au beurre avec du sucre et du citron.. #sd43

Yay, Craig is here! #bcedchat. Still trying to figure this out.

Looking to connect with educators around the world. Let’s learn from each other.
