You’ll learn how to recognize early signs of reading difficulty, use assessment to guide instruction, and design learning experiences that honour students’ identities, cultures, strengths, and ways of knowing.

A key focus of the course is integrating Indigenous histories, perspectives, and knowledge systems; applying Ontario curriculum and policy through an anti-oppressive lens; and curating inclusive resources that provide equitable opportunities for all learners. You will also examine current research, work with theoretical frameworks, and use technology to enhance your own professional learning. Throughout the course, you will collaborate with peers, engage with families and communities, and build strategies that strengthen advocacy, collective efficacy, and literacy leadership.
