Advocating and Advancing Equity for Asian Communities in Education

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.

LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

We acknowledge that we are on the traditional territory of Indigenous Nations across what is now known as Ontario. These lands have been home to diverse First Nations, Inuit, and Métis peoples since time immemorial. Many Indigenous Nations, including the Anishinaabe, Haudenosaunee, Wendat, and Mississaugas, have stewarded and cared for this land through treaties and agreements such as the Dish With One Spoon Wampum Belt Covenant.

We recognize that colonialism has caused ongoing displacement and marginalization of Indigenous communities, yet they remain resilient, asserting their sovereignty, cultures, and rights to the land. We commit to truth, reconciliation, and meaningful action in support of Indigenous rights and justice.
