The Final Report of the National Inquiry into #MMIWG2S found education is critical to dismantling systemic racism and reducing violence. As teachers, let’s honour victims and survivors by teaching truth, challenging injustice, and creating spaces grounded in respect, dignity, and care. #RedDressDay

The Foundation Skills Assessment (FSA) is NOT part of the BC curriculum, and it’s not the best way to evaluate learning. Instead, teachers use meaningful, curriculum-based assessments that actually help students grow. Parents: You can withdraw your child from the FSA: www.bctf.ca/FSA #BCed
