S2E11: Compassionate Systems in Action — Douglas Elementary Teachers Share Their Journey

In this episode of Leading Voices in Education, Sundeep and Kristi sit down with three educators from Douglas Elementary in the Surrey School District — Angela Thiessen, Jacqueline Robinson, and Caitlyn Worth — who have spent the past four years teaching side-by-side and strengthening their practice through shared learning, reflection, and collaboration.Together, they explore what Compassionate Systems Thinking looks like in the real world of elementary classrooms, from grade one to grade six. The teachers share how this framework has reshaped their understanding of self-awareness, connection, and classroom systems — and how it’s transforming their students’ wellbeing, relationships, communication, and sense of belonging.
