This week during Recess Duty we talk with Rachel Poff. We discuss her journey of diversity, equity, and inclusion and how we could help our school and classrooms be more diverse, equitable, and safe for all students. We also discuss the resources that she has come across to help support our own learning of what it means to be anti-racist and what we can all do today for our students of tomorrow and how we fit into a world that may not be as easy for some as it is for others. 

Rachel is an enthusiastic and energetic educator with 20 years of international experience. She has been both a single subject and homeroom teacher, PYP coordinator, and principal. She is also an IBEN and loves connecting with teachers around the world.

Rachel is currently focusing on becoming an indigenous ally and anti-racist educator. She has been reading, listening, and experiencing FNIM culture and history with a lens on truth and reconciliation. This journey has led her back to Canada.

Since this episode was recorded, Rachel has completed a course on Truth and Reconciliation at the First Nations University of Canada and is currently enrolled online at Cornell University in a certificate for  Diversity and Inclusion education. She believes in lifelong learning and encourages everyone to follow their passions.
