stop streaming students
Overview
This website is a curated list of resources about the streaming of students in Ontario schools. It highlights some of the important research done in the Toronto District School Board and beyond to explore streaming and its impact on student populations. The information provided can help viewers gain a better understanding of the history of streaming, as well as the rationale for recent demands to end streaming in Ontario. The resources also include recommendations that must be considered if we are to effectively de-stream Ontario schools. All of the resources on this site are available for free on the web and are compiled here for ease of access. To share suggestions about additional resources please contact Ramon San Vicente (majiman07@gmail.com). More information on streaming can also be found at the Coalition for Alternatives to Streaming in Education (CASE) website. #EndStreaming
