The educator toolkit is an introductory course to diversity, equity, inclusion, and decolonization in the classroom. This program offers big concepts in bite size chunks, while supporting the development of an educators knowledge and skills that can be used in the classroom setting. The four key modules of the program include: - Content in the Classroom - Language Use - Use of Voice - Anti-Oppressive Practices As an educator, it is critical to better understand our perspective and what narrative we are portraying in our classroom. Throughout this program, you will be encouraged to reflect on your own practice and plan for a more equitable future.

As educators it is critical that we engage students in thinking and talking about current issues, events and systemic oppressions. We might feel unprepared or uncomfortable leading these discussions with students, however not engaging in these critical conversations can cause erasure or harm. As culturally responsive educators, it is crucial we support students to develop their critical consciousness - that we support them to learn “How” to think, not “What” to think. This learning workshop supports moving from Theory to Practice and walks you through how to plan and facilitate critical conversations with students.

We have compiled a list of funding opportunities including criteria, requirements, application processes and deadlines.
