About Us

Each and every student is capable of success. Our focus is ensuring that all students can succeed by having access – the same access – to opportunities, learning, resources and tools; with the goal of improving the outcomes of the most marginalized students. That’s equity.

To do this, the TDSB has made a bold commitment to equity, human rights, anti-racism and anti-oppression. This sets the foundation to support those who have been traditionally and currently underserved, and will raise the bar for all students.

The Equity, Anti-Racism and Anti-Oppression team works with educators in schools to support co-planning with equity leadership teams to ensure that school improvement equity goals reflect these commitments and are connected to the work of achievement and well-being:

• Transforming Student Learning
  • Making important changes to how we support underserved students, including Black and Indigenous students, through inclusive learning environments and increased opportunities.
  • Using School Improvement Planning to support school leaders to support the most marginalized students and raise the bar of excellence for all.

• Providing Equity of Access to Learning Opportunities for All Students
  • Enhancing students’ learning opportunities by reviewing applicable policies, procedures and practices

• Building Strong Relationships and Partnerships within School Communities to Support Student Learning and Well-Being
  • Improving and increasing parent/family/caregiver access to TDSB information and resources.
