Abstracts
New for Educational, Social Service and Corporate Clients - A
C.R.A.S.H. Course on Anti-oppression.
This brand new 120 minute workshop is based on the new book "A
C.R.A.S.H. course on Anti-oppression- Examining Classism,
Racism, Ableism, Sexism and Heterosexism." Participants will be
encouraged to analyze their power/privilege and/or their
potential to be marginalized based on their own complex
intersecting identities. They will also be guided on an
interactive journey that will explore how humans are socialized
to be biased and how bias can further oppress co-workers and
others within their sphere of influence.
A C.R.A.S.H. Course Part Two
Leading for Equity-Using Chris's book with the same title, this
workshop is a follow up to the first one and will examine
systemic oppression and strategies to mitigate it within
corporate and social service institutions. Case studies will be
studied to elicit strong group discussions in order to further
delve into the ways that complex body identities can be included
in the workspace.
The I.R.T. Project (Indigenous and Racialized Teachers for
Leadership)
School boards understand that they require a greater number of
teachers with Racialized and Aboriginal heritage to join the
administrative ranks of these institutions To that end I have
developed the A.R.T. project comprised of a five module
programme to support those teachers who self identify as such
with the goal of supporting, mentoring and preparing them to
become managers, consultants, department heads and/or vice
principals. The programme will focus on concepts around Critical
Race Theory, Inclusive Mechanisms, The Burden of One's
Representation and the Challenge of Leadership and Identity
Politics. Cost TBD/Negotiated on case by case basis.
The Canadian Race Relations Foundations "Foundations in Equity"
This 5 module programme (plus one on-line component), supported
and managed by the Canadian Race Relations, is anchored in
Critical Race Theory and is designed for school board employees
at all levels of the organization. The course is an intense
immersion in equity based pedagogy, and it challenges
participants to think about how their identities interact and
impact with other people. (I have facilitated 15 programmes over
the past four years to school boards across the GTA with rave
reviews. This past June a Principal from the Grand Erie District
School board stated, "that is was the best course she had ever
taken in her 22 year career".) Programmes generally run once a
week for five weeks, but scheduling is flexible. (Includes three
guest lecturers and a certificate of completion for each
participant). Cost $8000.00.
Taking Equity to the Next Level:
This new programme has been developed specifically for school
board administrative teams (including consultants and managers).
The full day programme is designed to sharpen administrators'
equity lens in order for them to better understand and navigate
the complex landscape of identities within their teaching staff,
support staff, parent/guardian community and student population.
It will cover such topics as:
1. Critical Race/Anti-Oppression Theory.
2. Deconstructing Identity Bias.
3. Intersectionality and Identity Politics.
4. The negation of the Racialized experience as a form of
oppression.
5. Equity and Organizational Change.
6. Understanding Privilege.
7. Gender Inequity and its impact on school systems.
8. Gospel Values and Human Rights. (For Catholic
Boards)
9. Inclusive Mechanisms and Practice.
Each programme will be tailored to the client's specific
staffing needs. Cost ranges from $3000-$4000 depending on
participant group size and location.
