Feeling like a newcomer in Lesotho, volunteering with @helplesotho was extremely valuable for me - increased empathy #cdnedchat

Hello #cdnedchat

misspollock - Moderator Jan 25 @ 8:10 PM EST

Q1: Consider what it would be like to leave your home and come to a new country? What do newcomers to Canada need right away? #cdnedchat

TheCandyDish - Moderator Jan 25 @ 8:10 PM EST

@prairiemusik Hi Jennifer, Great to have you join us tonight. #cdnedchat

TheCandyDish - Moderator Jan 25 @ 8:10 PM EST

BSchlacht - Moderator Jan 25 @ 8:11 PM EST

@Robitaille2011 Welcome to #cdnedchat Louise

misspollock - Moderator Jan 25 @ 8:12 PM EST

A1: Being a newcomer can be very challenging. You can feel very alone and isolated without understanding the language and culture #cdnedchat

Chris_Lee_TDSB Jan 25 @ 8:12 PM EST

A1: Anxious (I already feel that way when traveling sometimes!) Need connections, peers, and people to listen. #cdnedchat

TheCandyDish - Moderator Jan 25 @ 8:12 PM EST

I can't even imagine what it would be like. I had a hard time just changing my phone number when I moved to Sherwood Park. #cdnedchat

Chris_Lee_TDSB Jan 25 @ 8:13 PM EST

This topic reminds me of this book: https://t.co/G6p8M1HVVn #cdnedchat

BSchlacht - Moderator Jan 25 @ 8:14 PM EST

A1. I think building relationships in a new country is essential. #cdnedchat

misspollock - Moderator Jan 25 @ 8:14 PM EST

A1: Physical needs must be met, incl winter clothing. Very quickly we move up Maslow and need belonging https://t.co/SQFQSBRZF8 #cdnedchat

TheCandyDish - Moderator Jan 25 @ 8:14 PM EST

@Chris_Lee_TDSB Chris, I like your comment about having people listen. Just having a simple conversation might be very helpful. #cdnedchat

misspollock - Moderator Jan 25 @ 8:14 PM EST

That would be a great book to share with students to help them understand, empathize and make connections #cdnedchat https://t.co/H5O48M81we

@misspollock @cdnedchat a1 I couldn't imagine. They need the basics and weather appropriate gear for sure! #cdnedchat

Robitaille2011 Jan 25 @ 8:15 PM EST

A1 Courage and need to feel safe & welcomed #cdnedchat

misspollock - Moderator Jan 25 @ 8:15 PM EST

.@Chris_Lee_TDSB Speaking to a friend who came to Canada as a refugee as a uni S, he just wanted to be treated "normally" #cdnedchat

Chris_Lee_TDSB Jan 25 @ 8:16 PM EST

@misspollock Absolutely! We've used it for a variety of reasons, including empathy and inferring. #cdnedchat

misspollock - Moderator Jan 25 @ 8:16 PM EST

.@Chris_Lee_TDSB For him, getting to know people as people, not focusing on his refugee status was so important #cdnedchat

Chris_Lee_TDSB Jan 25 @ 8:16 PM EST

@TheCandyDish Thanks! It's what we want too when we feel anxious! #cdnedchat

BSchlacht - Moderator Jan 25 @ 8:17 PM EST

@spygirard @misspollock @cdnedchat Everything that we take for granted #cdnedchat

misspollock - Moderator Jan 25 @ 8:17 PM EST

A1: This article is eye opening: https://t.co/B3sZiEwFZ6 Newcomers need help to create a new normal. #cdnedchat

j_p_r_3 Jan 25 @ 8:17 PM EST

@misspollock @Chris_Lee_TDSB i get that, normal in that we respect who they are first #cdnedchat

DanaAriss - Moderator Jan 25 @ 8:17 PM EST

Hi all! Dana Ariss, a grade 6 Educator from Alberta just joining in! :) #cdnedchat

misspollock - Moderator Jan 25 @ 8:17 PM EST

Happy to be in a chat tonight that moves beyond a "tech tool show and tell" and into the real stuff of teaching - the kids! #cdnedchat

BSchlacht - Moderator Jan 25 @ 8:18 PM EST

@Robitaille2011 These people are beyond courageous #cdnedchat

misspollock - Moderator Jan 25 @ 8:18 PM EST

.@j_p_r_3 @Chris_Lee_TDSB Exactly! His best connections were made through sport, not through deep talks about his difficult past #cdnedchat

TheCandyDish - Moderator Jan 25 @ 8:18 PM EST

@DanaAriss Woohoo! Welcome, Dana. Excited to hear your thoughts tonight. #cdnedchat

misspollock - Moderator Jan 25 @ 8:19 PM EST

Q2: Have you taught newcomers who have recently arrived from refugee camps in the past? Tips you can share to aid in transition? #cdnedchat

BSchlacht - Moderator Jan 25 @ 8:19 PM EST

@Chris_Lee_TDSB @misspollock It looks great Chris #cdnedchat

j_p_r_3 Jan 25 @ 8:20 PM EST

@misspollock @Chris_Lee_TDSB refugees will choose to share their stories when they are ready, i.e. feel trust and acceptance #cdnedchat

misspollock - Moderator Jan 25 @ 8:21 PM EST

5 weeks ago, here's what the news about Cdn refugee program: https://t.co/McOditQTFk today: https://t.co/B3sZiEwFZ6 #cdnedchat

spygirard Jan 25 @ 8:21 PM EST

@misspollock I haven't but a colleague shared that knowing a few basic words and phrases in their language can break the ice #cdnedchat

BSchlacht - Moderator Jan 25 @ 8:22 PM EST

@spygirard @misspollock It may also show that you care #cdnedchat

TheCandyDish - Moderator Jan 25 @ 8:22 PM EST

A2: I haven't. But even when I think about Ss coming half way through a school year it is so important to make them feel welcome. #cdnedchat

Chris_Lee_TDSB Jan 25 @ 8:22 PM EST

@misspollock @TheCandyDish A2: My newcomer students all valued the Ts getting to know them, even through the language barrier. #cdnedchat

misspollock - Moderator Jan 25 @ 8:22 PM EST

A2: Tip: treat newcomers, even and especially vulnerable ones, the same. Be sensitive to individual needs but welcome all warmly #cdnedchat

misspollock - Moderator Jan 25 @ 8:23 PM EST

.@spygirard Wouldn't it be wonderful to prepare your students with a warm welcome in the newcomer Ss first language? #cdnedchat

TheCandyDish - Moderator Jan 25 @ 8:23 PM EST

@misspollock Also, making sure to find a way to talk with the parents. Answer any questions they may have. #cdnedchat

Chris_Lee_TDSB Jan 25 @ 8:23 PM EST

@j_p_r_3 @misspollock Absolutely! Sounds like all of our Ss and Ts when basic needs and trust are met! #cdnedchat

BSchlacht - Moderator Jan 25 @ 8:23 PM EST

A2. Many of us have not had this opportunity but what a wonderful experience it would be. #cdnedchat

misspollock - Moderator Jan 25 @ 8:23 PM EST

A2: All newcomers are overwhelmed, if you are new to the country, culture and language, it can feel even more terrifying. #cdnedchat

DanaAriss - Moderator Jan 25 @ 8:23 PM EST

A2: Take it one day at a time. Focus on their needs. Make the connections & create a solid relationship with them AND home! #cdnedchat

TheCandyDish - Moderator Jan 25 @ 8:23 PM EST

@Chris_Lee_TDSB @misspollock Relationship building. #cdnedchat

spygirard Jan 25 @ 8:23 PM EST

@misspollock I think that it's a great idea and hope that one day I'll be able too :) #cdnedchat

misspollock - Moderator Jan 25 @ 8:25 PM EST

A2: Several times, Ss who have to my class directly from refugee camps have never even gotten to attend school. #cdnedchat

prairiemusik Jan 25 @ 8:25 PM EST

.@spygirard Music/songs are powerful, too... https://t.co/oI88fDv4od #CdnEdChat

Chris_Lee_TDSB Jan 25 @ 8:25 PM EST

@TheCandyDish @misspollock For sure! Reminds me of the 2x10 strategy... take 2 minutes a day, for 10 days to build trust with S #cdnedchat

misspollock - Moderator Jan 25 @ 8:26 PM EST

.@BSchlacht It definitely enhances the school experience for all when we have Ss and Ts from a variety of backgrounds #cdnedchat

misspollock - Moderator Jan 25 @ 8:27 PM EST

.@spygirard Why not practice a new language anyway so Ss can talk to newcomers in the community? #cdnedchat

BSchlacht - Moderator Jan 25 @ 8:27 PM EST

@misspollock Just think of all the new learning opportunities that would be created. #cdnedchat

WillGourley Jan 25 @ 8:28 PM EST

Yes! Build inclusion and otherliness into the culture of your classroom and the community. #cdnedchat https://t.co/er6ZHIZQxC

misspollock - Moderator Jan 25 @ 8:23 PM EST

TheCandyDish - Moderator Jan 25 @ 8:28 PM EST

Q3: If your students created a guide for newcomers, what should they include? #cdnedchat

spygirard Jan 25 @ 8:29 PM EST

@misspollock learning French full time for anglophones and allophones can be a daunting task and they rise to the challenge! #cdnedchat

misspollock - Moderator Jan 25 @ 8:30 PM EST

A3: This is something I am actually considering crowdsourcing and would love to hear your ideas for a newcomer guide! #cdnedchat

DanaAriss - Moderator Jan 25 @ 8:30 PM EST

.@spygirard Students are incredible! They accept challenges and often rise way beyond your expectations! #cdnedchat

misspollock - Moderator Jan 25 @ 8:32 PM EST

Q3: For clarification, if someone prepared a guide for new students arriving as refugees to Canada, what should be in it? #cdnedchat

DanaAriss - Moderator Jan 25 @ 8:33 PM EST

A3: Specific ways of greeting, access to libraries, activities to do around community, where to shop for local & cultural foods. #cdnedchat

Chris_Lee_TDSB Jan 25 @ 8:33 PM EST

A3: map of area; comic of "a day in the life,"; favourite foods; bios of the Ss in the class... and all this written and digital! #cdnedchat

misspollock - Moderator Jan 25 @ 8:34 PM EST

@DanaAriss Awesome ideas! #cdnedchat
