HELPING LOCAL KIDS: @EFOttawa Executive Director Clarissa Arthur tells us more about extra efforts to provide school supplies to #students during the #pandemic. #COVIDOttawa ottawa.ctvnews.ca/video?clip…
For those of you who are reaching out regularly, caring for your students: please, keep it up. Now, more than ever, we must double down our efforts. We must keep mental health as a key focus throughout this pandemic.

#onted teachers. A lot of things are coming your way. Stop. Breathe. You’re not expected to have all the answers. You know your students, their needs and how to make them feel safe. Take things one day at a time. Trust your professional instincts.

Before making a big decision, ask yourself: 1. The Regret Question: What will I regret not doing more when I look at it from the future? 2. The Plan B Question: What will I do if it fails? #YouAreAwesomeBook

It's #WorldAutismAwarenessDay, and the key really is “awareness” – it is our joint responsibility to learn more, work to dispel misconceptions, and promote understanding, support, and inclusion. Let's commit to this.
