Classroom

“If we are to succeed, we must draw on our 

experience and on research that tells us that 

student achievement will improve when barriers 

to inclusion are identified and removed, and 

when all students are respected and see 

themselves reflected in their learning and their 

environment. Everyone in the school community 

benefits from a school environment that is safe, 

accepting, and respectful.”

Practical Tips for Educators

“We believe that Ontario’s diversity can be one 

of its greatest assets.  

To realize the promise of diversity, we must 

ensure that we respect and value the full range 

of our differences. Equitable, inclusive 

education is also central to creating a cohesive 

society and a strong economy that will secure 

Ontario’s future prosperity.”

Practical Tips for Educators

“Our schools should be places where students 

not only learn about diversity but experience it. 

We know that when students see themselves 

reflected in their studies, they are more likely 

to stay engaged and find school relevant … 

Schools must also be safe, respectful places for 

students and staff.”
