My name is Nick and I am the continuing News Director on this year’s FESA council. This is my fifth and final year which makes this publication one to remember. I plan on providing you, the education students of York University, with quality articles and features dealing with education and pedagogy in both Ontario and the world.

You can think of me as the Miranda Priestly of the Faculty of Education just with less grit and a little more kindness. I dress well and get the job done.

The ground is my catwalk and the sun is my spotlight. If I’m not trying to take over the world, you can usually find me swapping paint colours or picking out new outfits fro my new Pomeranian, Efron (yes, after Zac). Congratulations to those of you who made the 30 credit cut - as for the 60’s, I’m sorry - more time to prove your worth as an educator.

As of last year, council decided to move the publication online in order to save on printing costs - not to mention this is where all publications appear to be heading. All articles and submissions will be posted online as well as in our digital ISSUU publication on a monthly basis. As an education student, you are invited to share anything from art submissions, stories, personal experiences or noteworthy articles and we will try our best to publish it online. Think of us as blog but with added FESA notices, video features and relatable classroom material.

Each month is connected to a topic that is used to encourage and stimulate your pedagogical brainwaves. You can stick to the theme or submit on your own - by no means is this a regulation.

Our October issue takes a look at the recently implemented Health and Physical Education curriculum. November highlights issues in Indigenous Education followed by our December issue on Strength in Diversity. The new year rings into an overly generalized term and representations of various mass texts. March brings out the Einstein in us all ending sharp with issues and activism faced by many.

I think you’ll enjoy it and have more to say. I encourage you to start writing if any of these topics jump at you from the start. This will officially make you a published writer!

We are always looking for contributors and staff writers who are keen on becoming part of the EDible family. This is your time to read and be read.

I look forward to having you on board.
