Thank-you for speaking to us at Laurier University the
other day. Everything you said made me remember why I
want to be a teacher. You reached out to us as teachers
and individuals. Your presentation is exactly what I
needed to hear. After the lecture, I read "Chili Burn Me
Tongue" to a man with autism and he loved being able to
read the word "bum." I realize there is a lot more to
that book and I plan to explore all three of your books
with my future classroom. So from the bottom of my
heart, thank you. (Britney, Pre-service Teacher,
Faculty of Education, Laurier University, January 2017). |

Chris
D'Souza's keynote presentation was engaging,
relevant and applicable. Session participants
left with a greater understanding of equity as
they reflected on their own teaching practices,
specifically how it relates to their
relationships with students and this notion of
creating an inclusive classroom. We would
definitely invite him back to Calgary to present
at future conventions. |
