Curriculum Assessment &
Instruction

STEAM

Alternative, expanded curriculum for students with disabilities

Curriculum that is responsive to cultures, history, experiences and perspectives of students and communities

cultural diversity

Anti-Black racism

Multi-literacies

Employability Skills

Lived experiences of students

Students draw connections between their learning and their direct experiences

Students' lived experiences are seen as valuable assets in the classroom

test/assignment question should include names/experiences/images from diverse cultures, representative of your school

bring in different cultures as much as possible, throughout your curricular lessons (ie: in gr. 11 Biology, we complete a lesson on Biodiversity. I use this as an opportunity to have the students come up to the front and put a sticker on a world map, to show where they are from. We see how "biodiverse" our class is. Students really like this because it echos how biodiverse our school population is.

also tests/quizzes/assignments should be translated into a student's first language if they are an ESL Level 1 or 2 student ( using Google Translate or Google Read & Write)

Grade 9 Destreaming

incorporate activities that reflect cultural backgrounds in your student population. (Ie: in Phys Ed class, incorporating cultural dances into a Dance unit; ie: Indian dance, Indigenous dance, etc).
