Addressing Anti-Asian Racism
A Resource for Educators
The ETFO and TDSB’s Addressing Anti-Asian Racism: A Resource for Educators supports teachers in recognizing and challenging anti-Asian racism. Grounded in real experiences, it provides tools for inclusive teaching, promotes culturally responsive learning, and helps create affirming classrooms that reflect the diversity and realities of Asian Canadian students and communities.

Asian Canadian Perspectives
A Resource for Educators
Centered on texts by and about Asian Canadians, this resource helps educators bring diverse perspectives into the classroom. It encourages students to connect with their histories, reflect on identity, and engage with their communities as active citizens. Addressing the lack of Asian Canadian content in curriculum and learning materials is key to creating culturally responsive education for all learners.
