Course Description

This course is grounded in affirming the legacy, advocacy, and resilience of Black students, families, communities and their histories.

The OCT’s Ethical Standards & Standards of Practice for the Teaching Profession will frame the learning so candidates can address anti-Black Racism to change pedagogy and practice.

Note: Candidates will be required to attend one (1) of two mandatory synchronous sessions scheduled during the summer term.

These sessions will likely take place during the first full week of classes. Participation in one of the scheduled sessions is a required component of the course.

Candidates are welcome to attend both sessions if they choose.

Most Western AQ courses are offered in a combined format, where candidates across

Schedule A (Divisional Qualifications-ABQ), Schedule D (3-part AQ), or Schedule E (Honour Specialist AQ), may be combined.

As candidates participate in course discussions and collaborative inquiries they work towards achievement of their course-specific expectations.

Course normally offered in the Summer session.
