The Humanising Pedagogy committee is dedicated to transforming curricula so that it will serve all students under our care by humanising, indigenizing and decolonizing our pre-conceived notions about curriculum.

We will develop a Humanising Pedagogy Model that will outline four areas of curricula development: ways of knowing, doing and understanding, culture, practice and impact.

We are committed to identity-centered learning and teaching that value intersectional diversity through inclusive practices grounded in equity, social justice and safeguarding. We commit to delving into research-driven practices that will support and sustain a humanised pedagogy model. Based on our inquiries we will develop a model that is supported by guiding principles and an accessible guide to help schools use this as a lens for strengthening their curricula.

As a committee, we will also develop a profile of a DEIJB-driven educator in acknowledgement that specific mindsets are necessary for humanising pedagogy approaches to permeate all aspects of a school’s intentional and hidden curricula.
