Inclusion Infusions: Focusing on Equity in Education
Posted on Friday, September 11th, 2020
As everyone is back focusing on our return to campus and the classrooms as faculty, staff and parents, I thought it would be pertinent to share some learning to also help us focus on equity in education. As a primer on the topic, I invite you to watch this 15 minute video from TVO with Steve Paikin and Patrick Case, Equity Education Secretariat. They discuss the standing of this provincial secretariat in 2017 and its mandate, streaming practices, systemic bias, and classroom practices.
Also, don’t forget to register for Algonquin College’s conversation on this topic on September 23rd at 10:00am. Annette Bouzi, president of the faculty union local 415 will be moderating a panel on Race in Education with three expert speakers, Pascale Diverlus – Co-founder Black Lives Matter Toronto; Meghan Wills – Chair Parents for Diversity; and Tim McCaskell – author and anti-racist and anti-homophobic education activist.
