How would you describe your teaching philosophy? I am most interested in the cultural and emotional environment design of a classroom, holding space for the diverse ways of existing in the world, and cultivating a sense of belonging for all. I believe that every student has a rich body of knowledge from their own lived…
How would you describe your teaching philosophy?聽 Teaching depends less on how well a teacher presents but depends more on how well the students understand. If a student already knows everything, s/he need not come to class. The reason why s/he comes to class is because s/he wants to learn something. Not only am I…
How would you describe your teaching philosophy?聽 In the blur of the semester, teaching feels too elusive and too organic for a stable, well-considered philosophy. Ideally, each class is as spontaneous as a conversation. Most of the time I feel like an underslept vaudevillian trying to get students to hear the sound of their own…
How would you describe your teaching philosophy? I haven’t really thought about this. If there is one thing I feel is most important, then it’s caring for our students. I realize they are going through life, just as we are. They have highs and lows, goals and struggles. Our courses are but a small stepping…

The 七星彩开奖 Student Union鈥檚 has been steadily picking up signatures. At time of publication, it was at 2,038 signatures. The DSU is urging everyone to sign and share the petition as we get close to the halfway point of the campaign.
鈥淟eading up to the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation on Sept. 30, this is something everyone can actually do as a concrete gesture to support the future of Indigenous nations,鈥� said Leilah Doyle, DSU Vice-President External Affairs.
鈥淲e urge our fellow students and all Quebecers to stand with Indigenous youth and to listen to what they have to say. This is a chance for younger students to also participate since the petition is open to those under 18.鈥�
Here are all the links for sharing:
The DSU will be actively tabling and mobilizing on campus Sept. 23-27. Other plans are also in the works, including organizing a delegation to Quebec City in October.
The 七星彩开奖 Student Union's petition to exempt Indigenous students from Law 14 was in the news at the end of August as the petition mobilization campaign began.
The 七星彩开奖 Student Union set up in the Upper Atrium from Aug. 26-28 to gather signatures supporting Indigenous students disproportionately affected by Law 14 (formerly Bill 96). is sponsored by Westmount-Saint-Louis MNA Jennifer Maccarone, who joined the effort on campus on Aug. 27, lending her voice to the cause.
Many Indigenous students say Law 14 goes against their constitutional right to self-determination in matters of education, including the priority to continue learning in their own Indigenous languages. They say the new French proficiency requirements create a significant barrier to accessing post-secondary education and that the government is adding more bureaucratic hurdles to their success.
The petition to exempt Indigenous students from Law 14 has already reached 1,600 signatures, but the work isn鈥檛 done.
If you haven鈥檛 yet signed, there is still time to before the Sept. 30 deadline.
