Did you know #Ramadan 
https://abs.twimg.com/hashflags... draggable="false" alt=""> is coming up in the next couple days? There are 10& #39;s of thousands of #Muslim students in Ontario - how have you thought abt them in ur planning & in the ways you reflect on their needs esp during #online Learning? #InclusiveDesign #onted #CRRP https://twitter.com/hirenbmistry1/status/1252293086841012224">https://twitter.com/hirenbmis...
You can begin by wishing families and students #HappyRamadan #RamadanMubarak https://abs.twimg.com/hashflags... draggable="false" alt=""> #RamadanKareem https://abs.twimg.com/hashflags... draggable="false" alt=""> Families - including children look fwd to this month all year long. It requires fasting frm dawn (abt 1.5 hrs b4 sunrise) to sunset. #NoFood #NoWater Exempted from this are very young/ill.
#Muslims literally come frm almost every country around the world- there are cultural differences in how its observed. #Muslims are not any "one thing". Many Ss will be fasting or attempting to fast partial days. Fasting length will range approx from 4:30am-8:15pm
Please refrain from applying ur own #perspective on how good/bad/healthy/unhealthy it is. This is one way of knowing/being in the world. Observed by well over 1 billion ppl. Instead, try to get to know more& learn. Think abt how U can support your Ss. #iknowUdointermittentfasting
*Remember when scheduling some Ss may be tired ESP if its in the AM * pls be considerate if ur online dont drink/eat right in front of them *think abt the lessons that you are assigning - if theyre not eating/drinking all day-does it for eg. need them to be interacting with food?
#Ramadan https://abs.twimg.com/hashflags... draggable="false" alt=""> is as individual as it is communal. This is the first time in generations that families will not be able to meet for #iftar https://abs.twimg.com/hashflags... draggable="false" alt=""> (breaking the fast), going to the #mosque for #taraweeh prayers at night. Some families and Ss will struggle with this. #MentalHealth #Wellbeing
Keep in mind that #Eid at the end of the month may also be quite different without the ability to celebrate with family &community. Another point that Ss & families may struggle with. How might you consider these things in the texts you use and the ways you may #celebrate with Ss

Along with the #isolation there has been a corresponding rise in #Islamophobia bc of #hate bc somehow #racists are blaming #muslims in many spaces for the rise of #coronavirus. Keep this in mind as this may be further impacting Ss and families #Wellbeing https://www.newsweek.com/islam-muslims-coronavirus-lockdown-ramadan-islamophobia-1498499">https://www.newsweek.com/islam-mus...
Remember that subsets of #Muslims include #Black, #Indigenous, #racialized, those with #disabilities, #2SLGBT, those living in #poverty. Women with #hijab experience #genderedIslamophobia. These #identities compound their interactions and lived experiences #Intersectionality
As educators- let& #39;s keep working so that ALL students can be successful and grow to their highest potential. A world where we all belong is something we all deserve. #InclusiveDesign #FortheWorldWeWant
