We shifted our programming focus to programs that help youth and adults take youth, and worked collaboratively with teachers personal and collective action on environmental to develop curriculum materials and workshops and social issues. Our name befits our approach: to help students grapple with and act upon we aim to help individuals align their values and major socio-ecological challenges, ranging from actions, and truly “be the change” they wish to environmental justice to biodiversity loss and create in the world. climate change. We believe education has the power to inspire action, alter behaviour, shift worldviews, and create ripples of change throughout society. Therefore, our top strategic goal is for socio- ecological education to be commonplace in BC’s schools. We’re working towards this goal through providing free online learning resources to schools, workshops and trainings to students, In BTCEA’s early years, we worked in and Professional Development for teachers. communities offering Awaken and Change symposia, Be the Change Action Circles, What’s Your Tree Circles, and the Great Turning environmental forums. Our initiatives, inspired by the work of Joanna Macey and Ken Wilber’s Integral Theory, empowered concerned citizens to take real action for positive change. We hear stories even today of their lasting impact, and of circles that remained active for many ensuing years. At BTCEA, we value empowerment, connection, and authenticity. We take a holistic approach to sustainability that integrates environment, social, and spiritual connections and empowers action. We acknowledge that we live, work and play on ancestral Indigenous land and actively seek ways to bring the Truth and Reconciliation process into our lives and work. 3 Program Highlights and Impact In 2019-2020, BTCEA engaged over 8,500 strike for climate action, students in positive environmental action that BTCEA took SLC “Open- reduced the equivalent of 50 tonnes of CO2.

It allows self-motivated students to be able to work at their own pace and have opportunities to extend their thinking. It also allows for me to guide others through the process step by step. Thank you!” Gold Trail Teacher “We live in a time on planet Earth when education regarding how to live sustainably, think critically and make accurately informed decisions is paramount! [This program] freely enables teachers to get this education to students in a manner that is current, engaging and flexible to many needs and situations!” Heather Coey, Reynolds Secondary School Teacher, Victoria “This program is full of well-researched materials for teaching students about human impact on the climate. The resources encourage students to be more self-aware, and sensitive to the world around them, while giving them tools to address the issues they learn about.” Burnaby Grade 5,6 Teacher Where SLC learning resources were used (teachers per school district) British Columbia Metro Vancouver 0 85 5 Student Leadership for Change: Student Stories & Testimonial “The [Living My Values] Action Pack was very informative and easy to understand... I really thought it was well put together and very impactful because our values as people are very important and we don't think about them as often as we should. This doesn't only get you to think about your values, it also makes you think about what actions you are going to take for those values. [For example] if your value is family, your action could be spending more time with family in new ways. This could mean playing board games or going for walks and things like that.” Grade 9 Careers Student “The program helped me deeply understand more issues relating to climate change. I learned about a new topic I was interested in. My family and I will be more aware of what we are consuming and live a healthier life. I think the program was a great, valuable experience and one of the best parts of my year in Science 8.” Surrey Student “I expanded my knowledge on relevant information on climate change. I also learned some new ways that I can take action that I have never really considered.” Grade 11 Social Studies Student “A great way to incorporate real world problems and solutions into education programs in schools. Very eye opening and inspiring.” Grade 7 Social Studies Student Subjects SLC learning resources were used for French, 5.4% English, 11.6% Math, 11.2% Elementary School, 10.4% Other,

  • The Need for Cybersecurity Education and Evolved Anti-Cyberbullying Measures
    The need for cybersecurity education and evolved anti-cyberbullying measures Youth Think Tank Report 2019 Foreword Dear Reader and Supporter, We at YouthTalkNation believe that youth should be given a voice in what affects them most. That youth should be engaged consistently and proactively by government, industry and the community to determine what policy, what product, what support do our next generation need to ensure that they are better equipped to create success for themselves and those around them. However, we also believe that conversations need to be constructive and dialogue needs to be met with united community action. As a youth think tank, YouthTalkNation is a platform where youth feel empowered to share their ideas, and their solutions are magnified to the highest level of government and industry in communitiesaround the world. Leaders are born through challenge and adversity, however great leaders are created through mentorship and feedback. As you read this report, we urge you to consider how we can support our youth not just in the generation of ideas, but in the implementation of their solutions, especially in the area of cybersecurity education. YouthTalkNation’s YouthTalkTech, strives to ensure our youth are considering technology not just as a tool for innovation, productivity and connection but also the potential risks that are hidden within. As our integration with the online world grows, the urgent need for education in responsible and safe technology use become more and more apparent. Our first youth think tank event hosted on October 5th, 2019 at the Terminal City Club in Vancouver, BC was the beginning of such a dialogue, and this report to garner the support and attention of the greater community.

  • Interpreting the Fraser Institute Ranking of Secondary Schools in British Columbia
    INTERPRETING THE FRASER INSTITUTE RANKING OF SECONDARY SCHOOLS IN BRITISH COLUMBIA: A CRITICAL DISCOURSE ANALYSIS OF HOW THE MECHANICS OF SYMBOLIC CAPITAL MOBILIZATION SHAPES, MANAGES, AND AMPLIFIES VISIBILITY ASYMMETRIES BETWEEN SCHOOLS AND SCHOOL SYSTEMS by Michael John Simmonds M.Ed., Columbia University, 1998 M.A., McGill University, 1991 Diploma in Secondary Science Education, McGill University, 1989 B.P.E., University of New Brunswick, 1985 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF EDUCATION in The Faculty of Graduate Studies (Educational Leadership and Policy) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) February 2012 © Michael John Simmonds, 2012 Abstract In the discourse on how to improve British Columbia’s secondary schools two prevailing epistemological tensions exist between two competing rationalities: (1) an instrumental rationality that privileges sense-making born out of data-gathering, and (2) a values- rationality that is discernibly more context-dependent. The seeds for public discord are sown when a particular kind of logic for capturing the complexity of any problematic is privileged over a competing (counter) logic attempting to do the same thing. The Fraser Institute proposes to the public a particular vision on how to improve secondary schools by manufacturing annual school report cards that are published in newspapers and online. Proponents of school report cards believe that school improvement is predicated on measurement, competition, market-driven reform initiatives, and choice. They support the strategies and techniques used by the Fraser Institute to demarcate the limits and boundaries of exemplary educational practice. Critics of school report cards object to the way ranking rubrics highlight and amplify differences that exist between schools.
