My Cabinet created a presentation for whole group and small breakout session work on Equity and supporting students by developing empathy and not acting as a bystander. The presentation focused on improving the learning environment for students by ensuring a safe and inclusive environment by adults, who act as learning communities. Participating staff were able to increase their knowledge with respect to responding to stereotypes, bias, and hate-speech. A “hate speech protocol” was also reviewed for empowering staff via professional learning to employ the protocol and not act as bystanders.
