This week, in honour of it officially being Truth and Reconciliation week, I want to tattle on the teachers who do what is right, even when they may be being told to do what is wrong.

And in the 21st century, that means being willing to address Canada’s dark history and not hide from it.

So this week, I’m tattling on all the teachers who seek and share the truth.

The teachers who don't hide behind walls of our privilege.

The teachers who take accountability for the history of this land,

The teachers who take accountability for the past wrongdoings in our educational institutions, AKA residential schools, here on Turtle Island.

The teachers with growth mindsets.

The teachers who learn, acknowledge, and follow the "First Peoples Principles of Learning" or the “First Nations, Métis and Inuit Perspectives, Experiences and Ways of Knowing" creating space for Indigenous knowledge.

The teachers who appreciate without appropriating.

The teachers who understand that reconciliation isn't about rewriting history to make us comfortable.

The teachers who understand that reconciliation isn't only about showing up on September 30th in orange.

The teachers who understand that reconciliation is about listening, learning and hearing the truth.

It's about sharing, caring, and doing better for every single human and species on these beautiful lands known as Turtle Island.

Every day, 21st-century teachers are doing their best to ensure the best for the next seven generations, and to me, that's something worth reporting on and recognizing in Alberta, Canada, here on Turtle Island! I look forward to hearing from you and sharing another report next Tuesday!

Ciao for now!
