Editor's Notes
I’m going to record what I say during this intro so I can put the audio on slideshare.com
also everything I’m doing today has been saved online and publicly accessable so you dont have to write everything down as we go
I’d like to introduce myself a bit differently this morning so to start off
I’d like to tell you who am I
If you don’t know robcfisher
this is me
you already know
I came here today from Manitoba Education
here
here in North end Kingston
When I grew up, My grandma lived in our backyard
here. When she passed away
I moved in
and went to university
here
thats Queens university
in Kingston
that looks like this
and like this
I received one of these
and this
and this
and this
I began my teaching career
here
As a guest
of the Nisichawayasihk Cree Nation
for 19 years
My first teaching assignment was
Phys Ed
here
at the community hall
where I learned some cree words like astum
astum --that means come here and ati apay
ati apay --that means sit down and chee sqwa
chee sqwa -- that means wait
But I learned It was better to learn words like
chee sqwa that means wait
But I learned It was better to know words like kinanaskomitten awow kapitooteak neeganan
that means welcome to our home
At Otetiskiwin School I was also
where I met a lot of great
people
including my wife Judy
who is also a teacher,
grade 2 in Thompson
we
have 2 daughters
Blueberri
and Fluffy
When I left
NCN
to work in Thompson
that you can see here
I taught for
3 years
at RD Parker Collegiate
For the next 4 years
was curriculum coordinator
at the school board office
For the past 2 years
I’ve been seconded to Manitoba Education
where I commute home to Thompson most weekends from Winnipeg
Right now I’m reading these
this one because it’s funny
this one because it’s interesting
and this one because it scares the hell out of me
in my spare time, this is what I do for fun ,
for those who don’t recognize it-- thats ref hockey
