Learn ways to achieve equity for students and staff
Manifesting Encouraging and Respectful Environments and The Future We Want: building an inclusive curriculum are companion documents for all educators -- teachers, administrators, support staff, parents and members of the community. These resources support those who believe in a world where everyone feels included, valued and empowered -- a world where equity is a reality.
Manifesting Encouraging and Respectful Environments examines how seven "isms" -- ageism, classism, ableism, sexism, faith as an ism, heterosexism and racism -- appear in school environments and the impact they have on students and staff. It provides a practical self and environmental audit to begin the journey towards The Future We Want.
The Future We Want: building an inclusive curriculum provides a teaching context for the "isms." It suggests strategies for implementing an inclusive curriculum, from kindergarten to grade 12, in conjunction with the Ontario Ministry of Education curriculum policy documents.
These comprehensive resources:
- explore human rights and responsibilities
- build on the principles of social justice
- teach decision-making and social action skills
- commit to a curriculum delivered in an emotionally safe environment
- foster a school climate of respect, co-operation, student involvement, recognition and positive behaviour
