International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women 25 November
Violence against women and girls remains one of the most prevalent and pervasive human rights violations in the world.
Bullying Awareness and Prevention Week
Providing safe, inclusive and positive spaces accepting of all students is a priority in the TDSB. Our schools should be communities where all students are respected, welcomed, nurtured, engaged and encouraged.
With BlackFriday creeping up, introduce your Grade 7-12 students to #BuyNothingDay and start a conversation about the role of consumerism in our lives and culture. In this lesson Buy Nothing Day is used as a jumping-off point to look at the role of consumerism in our lives and culture. Students learn the definition of consumerism and consider its benefits and drawbacks; as well as where and how they receive consumerist messages. Students list their own recent purchases and consider how many were needed as opposed to wanted. They are then introduced to Buy Nothing Day and discuss its purpose and merits. Finally, students imagine that Buy Nothing Day is a holiday on par with Christmas and plan either a pageant or television program to celebrate the event.
