“SOGI 1 2 3 connects educators to proven tools and resources for aligning schools with provincial policies protecting people of all sexual orientations and gender identities (SOGI). SOGI 1 2 3 focuses on three key areas: (1) policies and procedures (e.g., a school's code of conduct), (2) inclusive environments (e.g., safe spaces and welcoming language), (3) curriculum resources (e.g., SOGI issues integrated into classroom learning). When all three pillars of SOGI-inclusive education are implemented, students have the opportunity to flourish.”

Learning for Justice

“Our mission is to help teachers and schools educate children and youth to be active participants in a diverse democracy.
Teaching Tolerance provides free resources to educators—teachers, administrators, counselors and other practitioners—who work with children from kindergarten through high school. Educators use our materials to supplement the curriculum, to inform their practices, and to create civil and inclusive school communities where children are respected, valued and welcome participants.
Our program emphasizes social justice and anti-bias. The anti-bias approach encourages children and young people to challenge prejudice and learn how to be agents of change in their own lives. Our Social Justice Standards show how anti-bias education works through the four domains of identity, diversity, justice and action.”
