talkswithtia Helping & empowering educators to achieve sustainability in their edu-spaces with my acronym for FUN

My educational adventures began back in 1997 unofficially when I started Kiddie Summer Camps. Experienced at the early childhood, primary and secondary levels locally and overseas.

Climate change is real.
How do we know?
It is undoubtedly hotter and drier this year in Jamaica.
🪾🥵🔥

But are we really teaching our students about these realities? Are we even getting them to think through solutions?

We have to!

And again I’m sharing the Climate Action Project with educators across Jamaica (regardless of school, location or level)

Stay tuned for details on THE CLIMATE ACTION PROJECT, a wonderful opportunity for education practitioners across Jamaica (and the globe) to connect with resources and each other to encourage climate action in their students across all levels (EC, primary, secondary, tertiary and special ed).

More details coming!

This week has given me a lot to think about.

Urgency versus patience, resilience and action, and more importantly what it really takes to create meaningful sustainable change.

Of course the symbolism of the bull isn’t lost on me. It’s also not about only coming home and charging ahead but reflecting on when to charge ahead, what to charge towards and who we need beside us as we do.

Some may think purpose, others determination; maybe it’s both.🤷🏽‍♀️🐂

I literally work in literacy every day, but today on World Literacy Day, I’m making an even stronger commitment to raising awareness and encouraging everyone to play their part in advancing literacy right here in Jamaica.

🇯🇲📚

At Di Cawna Library 📚🇯🇲💙 we are playing our part in building a more literate Jamaica, one reader at a time, one book and one repurposed refrigerator at a time.

Join me Di Cawna Library 📚🇯🇲💙

As we observe back to school, it’s important that you put yourself first. Think on what it takes for you to be the teacher you need: the one who listens with compassion, respects every voice, supports each journey and empowers everyone to believe in themselves.

Reflect on all you need to tap into your inner edu-rockstar, do it & tell me about it in the comments.

This year success is yours. ⭐️

One thing I miss about having my schools is the connections with my teachers.

Fundaciones schools often provided me the opportunities to listen to team members and understand their various realities and how these played into the work to make education better and brighter.

In this photo taken 2 weeks ago over lunch with some my team of tutors (Ｆｕｎｄａｃｉｏｎｅｓ) I realized just how much I miss listening to my stakeholders and the tremendous takeaways that come when I do.

Thanks for the reminder Team. I see you, I hear you and I value you.

Yesterday I journeyed to Pisgah Primary &
Infant (recently rebuilt and handed over by Jamaica Social Investment Fund in February) and I was reminded of 2 things:

1/ the power of asking for what you want - the Pigsah rebuild is rooted in the then Principal asking for a new school and not taking no for an answer. Then to add to that Mr Blair (in the photo) asking JSIF for books for his children & team JSIF sharing with me c/o and of course my reason for the trip.

2/ the education circle is a small one and I think it’s now 1 - 2 degrees of separation in Jamaica. Principal Scarlett Forrester and I go back years ago when I had Ｆｕｎｄａｃｉｏｎｅｓ Mobay. Another reason why you must live good with people.

Anywho, another school and another Di Cawna Library 📚🇯🇲💙 🙏🏽📚🚸
