Looking through multiple lenses, we can offer our students many accessible tools
A tool belt can relieve any teacher from their the traditional pressures in the drivers seat
A tool belt offers the gift of independence and lifelong learning

Do you see me?
I roam the halls and sit idle in classrooms
talents bottled
Frustrated with a failing memory and shackled
by traumas I never invited
Letters, words and numbers
confuse me
I fall victim to
Labels, judgement and punishments
Challenged by peer groups
and the face of authority
I fight harder, blend in, or walk away
My dreams lose colour
as confidence fades
Weakly defined
by pencil markings left behind
I appear difficult, lazy or helpless
Who am I?

Take my Hand
As you explore alleyways looking for opportunity
Channel your bottled potential toward action
Celebrate differences, understand your weaknesses
and welcome empowerment
Embrace different representations of information
Understanding will build confidence and clarity
Highlight your understanding with true colours of empowerment
Express your learning and invested interests
With flare and and an infectious passion
Look at you now…
Engagement personified
Questioning, Creating and Inspiring
Your are flexible, energized and motivated
