If you were looking for a ringing endorsement of the Following Their Voices initiative, have a conversation with Brandon Stroh.

As we transition into the final year of this decade, one can’t help but try to find an event during the past year that was the most memorable, especially in a year filled with many significant events.

Alluding to research on the topic, keynote presenter Jim Knight shared with those attending the Facilitator Forum on Leading Professional Learning that more than half the students in the United States are convinced they are not being heard, and that their teacher doesn’t know their name.

While he acknowledges there were some growing pains when the Following Their Voices initiative was first introduced to the province, Pat Bugler was on board from the start and even more so now.

According to Maze, the state of relative unease within the education sector is still very much in the forefront as he remains largely unconvinced of the provincial government’s pledge to listen to teachers more in the future.
