Keynote - Keynote – Maya’xala’pa - Respecting Each Other: Equity, Responsibility and Reconciliation
Kaleb session will focus on the transformational beliefs necessary and rights-based approaches for a more inclusive and equitable education system for Indigenous learners, and to increase the presence of Indigenous languages, cultures and histories for all students. By recognizing our own personal and professional journey as educators, we call to action our roles and responsibilities to Truth, Reconciliation, and a commitment to ‘equity of opportunity’ for all learners.
