Cultural humility is the commitment to life long learning as educators. The sustainability of safer and positive spaces are contingent on necessary and continuous self-reflection of educators in their education within equity & inclusion (Chappell et al., 2018; Haghiri-Vijeh et al., 2020; Ontario, 2014; Provincial Health Services Authority, n.d.; The 519, 2020).
Cultural Humility has been defined as "... a commitment to lifelong learning, exercising self-reflection and critique, being comfortable with not knowing, and recognizing the dynamics of power and privilege. Cultural humility involves examining your own values, beliefs, experiences, and biases through self-reflection and lifelong inquiry, and being curious and open to learning about [other's] values, beliefs, and experiences in order to develop mutual understanding, successful partnerships, and cultural safety" (Provincial Health Services Authority, n.d.).
This section will provide tangible online resources that teachers can utilize for their own self-education within the development of Positive Spaces within their classroom.
