The Halton District School Board is committed to inclusive and equitable education, and creating and maintaining learning spaces that are responsive to student diversity.
The following Equity and Inclusive Education documents, available on the Board’s website at www.hdsb.ca, address Equity and Inclusive Education Policy. They are:
- HDSB 7 Equity Lenses
- Inclusive Language Guidelines
- Equity Policy Development and Review Tool
- Transgender and Gender Nonconforming Guidelines
The public is invited to review these documents and provide feedback on them.
“These new resources demonstrate the Board’s on-going commitment to ensuring students are provided with learning and teaching environments that are safe, equitable and inclusive,” says Yaw Obeng, Superintendent of Education for the Halton District School Board. “We value diversity as our strength and promote the acceptance of our differences in our pursuit of student success for all.”
Feedback can be emailed to Suzanne Muir, the Board’s Equity and Inclusive Education Coordinator, at [email protected]. The deadline for input is Monday, March 31, 2014.
