Team meeting complete. EveryONE did eventually show and they put their nose to the grindstone and completed the year end review. Always important to do to see where we have come from and where we are going. I have always done this wherever I have worked. It is important to Image
acknowledge the work, especially those who are dedicated to change but suffer the pushback and silencing at multiple levels, personally and professionally. So a special shoutout to my CYCP peeps @teemunro @Joyhenderson78 @Just_Juanita @OACYC et al. Here is the review!

Thinking Allowed - Walter Benjamin - a special programme on his work and influence - BBC Sounds. For those who want to understand him and especially his notion of the flaneur! Our lives intersected at Portbou, years apart, and with almost similar outcomes! bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/b0…
My experience was landing in Portbou in 1971 and moving from the student unrest especially in Paris....to the fascist Franco Spanish regime. Our first encounter, after making our way thru the border check...daunting, was the barb wire around the university in Madrid. After that
we were constantly followed in various cities and towns and were the objects of various attempts to get us to engage in anything illicit. Buying drugs, jewelry, false charges and fines for sitting on the grass and attempts to commandeer our passports. We made it out in

So it answers the question of the apple and the tree. My now 23-24 year old “boy” has shown a consistency of character and doing the right thing. In elementary school he stopped a petition circulating in class, started by two parents, to have a child removed from the class

More than excited to be amongst this illustrious cast. Brunilda, Tim, Fania. Our work (Symone) shows demonstrables ways of creating unique spaces, places and community for Black persons with a focus on economic justice. It is infused by a restorative pedagogy and practice that
partners with students as they innovate their way from their lived experience and their voices become the basis for innovative design responses to inequity for social justice purposes.
It is less academic and more forged thru experience as has been my past 20 years focusing on restorative practices and the past 8 with Symone first as, College student and then as her mentor and partner in both of our work.

The issue of change in education right now revolves around two models that intersect, and not well. The model of education, with its ideological inheritance, market focus, is also top down, bureaucratic and reflects a command and control style of management. Therefore it /1
cannot be a learning organization. This means it does not, in either paradigm, centre voices of those most concerned and affected, is not part of a continuous feedback loop, does not engage in continuous improvement and eschews innovation, creativity and change./2
As is often said “if you always do what you always did, you will get what you always got.” A restoratively focused institution (Generation 2.0) which centres voices, supports difficult conversations, can listen, witness and learn, is willing to learn, change and grow, engages /3

Threaded tweet starting with happy thoughts. Or #walkingwhilegetting 😡 Who remembers going to the Carpenters Union picnic as a youngster? &2 the ITU Xmas party where all children got a wrapped gift? And the year long strike at the 🌎 & Mail? Those were the haydays!

Things always need to start somewhere!
