Teaching for Belonging: Inclusive and Identity-Responsive Instruction
To ensure Humber faculty had a “roadmap” to guide their process to integrate EDI into their professional practice and to create a guide for Humber community members who are at different stages in their understanding of EDI, an EDI Guide entitled, “Teaching for Belonging: Inclusive and Identity Responsive Instruction” was developed. The author of “Teaching for Belonging: Inclusive and Identity Responsive Instruction” is Professor Shara Stone.

Equity, Diversity, and
Inclusion : A Faculty Toolkit
This module based experience will reinforce, inspire, and facilitate change towards more EDI-minded teaching practices. This toolkit aims to reach a broad audience. While many are well-versed in the language of EDI for some, this content may be unfamiliar. Learning (and unlearning) are complex, multifaceted processes and this toolkit is intended to offer support in this ongoing journey.

Indigenous Ways of Being Knowing and Doing (IWBKD)
An Indigenous Knowledges mindset enables us to respect, reflect on and embrace Indigenous cultures, perspectives, systems of knowledge and approaches to life. As humble and open individuals, Humber graduates recognize the cultural foundations and history of the land we inhabit and understand how they have shaped Indigenous realities today. They act bravely to create space for reconciliation, helping to co-create a future based on wisdom, love, honesty and truth.
