Ekite, divèsite ak enklizyon nan edikasyon
CPLAN pran angajman pou l atenn ekite nan edikasyon. Nou te devlope yon fasil pou swiv atelye pou fanmi yo ak manm kominote lekòl yo pou yo konprann inegalite figi elèv yo ak enpak li genyen. Atelye sa a kraze done politik ak pratik ki pa ekitab ki limite reyisit edikasyon pitit yo ak byennèt emosyonèl sosyal yo. Pandan prezantasyon sa a, w ap wè wòl nou chak jwe nan pwoblèm sa yo ak responsablite nou chak genyen pou patisipasyon nou anvè solisyon an.
Gen entansyon pran yon fason yo jan sa a:
Distenge diferans ki genyen ant Ekite ak Egalite
Lokal vs inegalite sistemik ak baryè
Marginalizasyon ak enpak li sou elèv yo (tou de, kout tèm ak alontèm)
Redesign ak defann edikasyon ekitab
Devlope konesans ak langaj ki reponn ak kiltirèl ki enfòme epi ranfòse defans nou pou tout elèv yo
Solisyon atravè divès nivo defans tankou Konsèy Paran ak angajman sivik
Atelye Divèsite, Ekite ak Enklizyon (DEI) CPLAN pwovoke refleksyon pwòp tèt ou, panse kritik ak inovatè pou rekonsidere règleman ak pratik ki limite siksè edikasyonèl elèv yo ak potansyèl yo pou siksè tou de kout ak long tèm. Pandan prezantasyon sa a, manm kominote lekòl la pral wè ijans pou yo pwodwi yon eksperyans edikasyon ki gen enpak pou tout elèv ki gen patenarya lekòl entansyonèl ak siyifikatif.
