Overview

Courses: Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion

Every Student Belongs is an essential Canadian textbook for future and practicing educators committed to creating classrooms where every learner is seen, valued, and supported.

Grounded in Canadian scholarship, policy, and professional practice, this book explores the complex realities of equity, diversity, inclusion, and belonging through both critical reflection and practical application. From Indigenous education and reconciliation to anti-racism, 2SLGBTQ+ inclusion, disability justice, newcomer education, and Universal Design for Learning, each chapter provides research-informed frameworks and classroom strategies that prepare educators for the diverse communities they will serve.

More than a textbook, Every Student Belongs is an invitation to examine assumptions, embrace continuous learning, and become the kind of teacher who helps every student experience the powerful truth at the heart of education: they belong.
