IGNITE 35

Wow. There is nothing I like more than a crowded room at the pub filled with educators cheering and supporting one another. Now this is how I like it. It was the whose who in Twitterverse in terms of BC education. Thank you #think35 team for orchestrating the inaugural #IGNITE35 event in Langley, BC. There were so many great speakers sharing a small part of his or her professional practice that he or she is passionate about. It was incredible. We call ourselves “teacher” but there was such diversity in our passions and stories. Best of all, we were all willing to be a bit vulnerable and share our story with a group of edu-strangers, yet it felt like family. I was so proud to stand beside and be with all of these people tonight. #IGNITE35 makes me proud of my story… from mathematics teacher to graduate student and school trustee. We are all making a difference in education. I ended my 5 minute talk with “be bold, be brave.” Thank you everyone. We’re doing just that! #bced #think35 #IGNITE35 #bcedchat
