The BC School Trustees Association has an opportunity (and responsibility) to speak out on the importance of the Education Minister respecting the role of locally elected school boards. But will it? #bced @carolynbrodie.bsky.social #bced #bcsta #bcpoli
Our BCPVPA President Dr. Shannon Behan was thrilled to meet @lisabeare.bsky.social, the new Minister of Education and Child Care, and new Deputy Minister, Kathryn Krishna, at #BCSTA 'Illuminate' this morning.
We are looking forward to our work together - it's an exciting time in public education!
The image presents a framework titled "Orienting to Student Agency," which visually depicts layers leading to "Agency" at the center. The layers include Identity, Belonging, Inquiry, and Efficacy, each paired with affirming statements, such as "My ways of being, learning, and knowing are valued here" and "I can make a difference around the things that matter to me." It highlights a student-centered approach to education, emphasizing empowerment, inclusion, and engagement.
We're glad to be guests at the BCSTA Trustee Academy for the next couple of days. Currently listening to keynote speaker Shane Safir on street data. Love this image and the question of how to orient governance decisions towards student agency. #bcsta #bced #StudentVoice

It’s not only Indigenous Education but #Representation that matters as well.
Honoured to have been asked to take part on stage in a room full of Trustees.
