    “According to the employer, these proposals will retain and attract teachers. It is disturbing to me that the employer thinks that by removing student codes, removing class averages, forcing professional development on teachers, and promoting online teaching for any reason it deems suitable, will attract and retain teachers. There is nothing in this proposal that will improve class composition or the workload. It goes to show that the government does not value the teaching profession. “ - Heidi Yetman, QPAT President     “Selon l'employeur, ces propositions misent sur l'attraction et la rétention du personnel enseignant. Je suis troublée par le fait que l'employeur pense qu'il valorise la profession en retirant les codes aux élèves, en supprimant les moyennes des classes, en imposant le développement professionnel aux enseignants et en promouvant l'enseignement en ligne pour toute raison qu'il juge appropriée. Rien dans cette proposition n'améliorera la composition des classes ou la tâche. Cela démontre que le gouvernement n'accorde aucune importance à la profession d'enseignant.” - Heidi Yetman, présidente de l'APEQ.

    In this session, I want to be able to share some ways in which we can take the experiences that have come from our isolation, introspection, and our opportunities to become a bit more informed, and from that, work towards a future where we are better prepared. The isolation was created due to the global pandemic and our need to protect our own health and the health of our families and community through keeping our social distance and becoming adept with the use of personal protective equipment. Then another shock. The killing of George Floyd, the global protests and demands for justice that have not been seen before. Many of us could never have imagined such a time. Our kids also have been part of this period. Your students may have many questions, you may have many questions. What are some of the approaches you might want to consider in your classrooms and in your teaching practice related to the 'racial pandemic'? What does it mean if you have little diversity where you live or teach? This presentation will discuss some practical considerations regarding diversity, inclusion and equity using a Black History frame of reference.
