Accomplishment: Library advocacy - presenting at staff meetings about the wedding process (we've weeded 2,000 books); explaining how diversity fits with library; the difference between an LLC and a library etc. Having the principal say my investment and dedication to library is impressive was some great feedback!

Hurdle: Having students reach out for help even after posting my information in Google Classroom and having teachers post this information in their LMSs.

"Unpacking Blackness" Library virtual presentation (Feb/March) was a huge success @ Loyola. This presentation was offered to over 18 classes across diverse subject areas. It addressed systemic oppression & its history, caste system in North America, and moving from adversity to triumph.

Something I'm pleased about is that our empty library has afforded me the time to take care of things that had been pushed aside....updating our website (thanks to Marianne and Tamara's inspiration), coming up with new and more interactive lessons for classes and trying out different ways of running our book club in the midst of the pandemic!

Participating in "Unpacking Math Destreaming" and getting the conversation on the subject going, in my school and family of school, have been absolutely fulfilling. I have learned so much in the process -  collaborating with my colleagues in the Math Destreaming PLT.

My greatest hurdle this year was the diminished interaction with students.

I suppose I overcame this hurdle by supervising multiple clubs and beefing up the FX Learning Commons website.

As the school's teacher liaison for our school's FNIM students, I have been pretty much useless. I was only able to connect to one student during this entire year. I have no idea how to move forward.

Last year I joined my friend, Shayne Burn and a few other DPCDSB teachers, to launch a local chapter of the PCTG. The fact that we've been able to continue to offer virtual retreats amid the pandemic, is amazing. I hope we can keep growing when things return to some form of normalcy.
