Public education should help young people discover what they are capable of.
But students don't all think, communicate, focus, process information or experience their environments in the same way. Too often, when a student struggles to fit the classroom, we focus on changing the student instead of asking what barriers the learning environment may be creating.
I know what it is like to move through education feeling disorganized, distracted or misunderstood — and only later develop the language to understand how I learn and what I need to participate fully.
That's one reason I'm running for TDSB Trustee.
I want schools that recognize different ways of thinking and learning as part of the classroom, give students the tools to understand and advocate for their needs, support the educators responsible for teaching them, and make it easier for families to navigate the system.
And I want a School Board that learns too: one that connects what students, families and educators are experiencing on the ground with the decisions being made at the Board.
My priorities
Students think, communicate, focus, sense and learn differently. Those differences should not decide who gets seen as capable, difficult or successful.
I want to advance neuroinclusive education: learning environments designed for different ways of thinking and learning, so students aren’t always expected to continually adapt to one model.
