Anti-racist Education Professional Learning - Winnipeg, Canada - Community Education Development Association

Description

The Louis Riel, River-East Transcona and Winnipeg School Divisions are working in partnership with the Community Education Development Association (CEDA) and the Equity Matters Coalition to develop and implement a 3-year professional learning program for school leaders, educators and support staff within these school districts regarding issues of anti-racism, de-colonization and anti-oppression.

Communities of practice will be formed to support and sustain the knowledge and skills that are developed from this professional learning training program.
