A DEIJ professional who has not done the work of deconstructing and decentering the colonialist paradigms which frame their own education and thinking will reproduce those paradigms in their instruction. We can’t decolonize anything if we haven’t started with self first.

This Buckeye alum won't hesitate to say it... That State Up North's Marching Band put on one of the most amazing shows I've ever seen this weekend. Check it out!

Sometimes people leave you halfway through the wood. Do not let it grieve you, no one leaves for good.

Winter Program brought together our youngest and oldest musicians at #QISS. Can you guess what we were playing? #musiced #collaboration

If we average scores from assignments over the course of the term to calculate final grades, we don't value growth. I don't know a way around that fact. If a students scores a 50% and then a 90%, they will get a worse grade than a student who got 75% both times.

Grade 5 Band's Instrument Petting Zoo was a hit with our future band students on Key Assignment Day. #musiced #inquiry #band
