Inclusion Infusions: Focusing on Equity in Education

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.
