In this episode, we speak with Joanna Rowe, an educational consultant, is leading the charge with the Read and Talk Professional Learning Community within Kativik Ilisarniliriniq, the school board of Nunavik, Quebec. Where students with dyslexia confront hurdles stemming from limited access to specialized resources, multilingual environments, educational disparities, stigma, and a lack of awareness. Having resided and worked in Nunavik since 2020, Joanna Rowe perceives her contribution as a part of the Truth and Reconciliation process. “If you can read, you're much more resilient against trauma, which is something many of our students are affected by—and if you're fluent in reading, the world is yours,” she emphasizes.
