We were identified to submit an application for the community schools grant. As we have been working on our community schools grant application and reading over the community schools framework, this quote in the framework jumped out at me: "A good student support system cannot compensate for a weak core instructional program that is not responsive to individual student development and learning needs (including social, emotional, and cognitive)". The values, pillars, four conditions for learning, four cornerstone commitments, and the four proven practices of the community schools initiative are on point! Check out this framework and all the great components of this initiative on the link below. If well implemented, a community school will make a huge impact on the lives of children, staff, families and the community #ittakesavillage https://lnkd.in/g4hsBC4q

In order for our chapter members to get to know us better, we will be starting a weekly Who's Who On The Board! We hope that this will facilitate some open pathways of communication between us and you, making us more aware of how best to serve our little community of IM professionals/enthusiasts/heralds. First up is Megan Alexander! Megan Alexander is our Education & Programming Director. Megan has been serving on the Calgary Chapter Board since February 2023. Megan is a librarian nerd at heart pursuing her passions attending the Library Information Technology (LIT) Program at SAIT Polytechnic. Megan's career started and continues to thrive working at Integra Partners Ltd., an information services and consulting firm located here in Calgary. She is currently filling the role of Digital Solutions Specialist, focusing on M365 based solutions for managing document-based information for Integra's clients (among wearing a few other hats in the space of Information Management). Megan is a leader, a mentor, an optimist, an introvert, book-lover, and occasional Dungeons & Dragons player. She lives with her beloved husband, James, and a cat named Zeus. This summer, you'll be able to find her reading through her ever-growing 'to-be-read' pile and spending quality time with her family. Her favourite thing about the ARMA community is the sharing of knowledge and lessons learned from the IM space, as well as the excitement that comes with a changing industry. Megan's dream for the Calgary Chapter of ARMA is to create a dynamic team of passionate information professionals that are committed to giving back to their industry through education and value-driven programing. Even though Megan gets her energy from being alone with her books and her cats and a nice cup of tea, she had an incredible time at the recent ARMA Conference, and wanted to share the following: The keynote delivered by Shawn Kanungo was impactful is so many ways for me. Two key quotes/takeaways that will stick with me : 1."There will be leaders who leverage [technology], and there will be leaders who are irrelevant" - we have a choice in how we shift our mindsets to look at AI and the daunting ever-changing technology space as an opportunity to challenge how we stay relevant as information management professionals. 2. "Innovation = creating value in new ways" - to innovate, you require friction, which is going to make people uncomfortable... and that's going to be okay!

Command line interface is reducing steps to contribute and learn HAX to a single command. Exit the CLI? You get links. Stamp a new element out? You get these resources -- https://lnkd.in/e9nvag-z Because why do you care about this tooling? The goal of it is to educate new developers to go from 0 to HAX contributor. I'm taking project edtechjoker up a notch by consolidating all tooling and weeks of "no press that key in this order" out of the way. When we lower barriers to zero, we increase participation for all. Lift up students just learning and we'll hit on all those existing developer bases as well #edtechjoker #education #edu #ist #FOSS HAXTheWeb
