Here is a written description provided by a faculty member to demonstrate how they have incorporated some of the principles of the EDI toolkit into their practice:

Land Acknowledgement - use this as an opportunity to identify your own privilege as a way to signal that you understand how privilege works, you know it not fair, and you are committed to giving everyone opportunities in the classroom.

I think an important component of EDIB work is setting the tone so that students feel safe and seen in the classroom. Students need to know that you are not holding onto biases and stereotypes about who they are and what they can do. I like to set the tone from the beginning of class by using the Land Acknowledgement and Equity/Diversity statement to make this clear.

Equity/Diversity Statement - use this as an opportunity to tell all students that they should never experience discrimination at Humber and that they inherently belong here. Declare that diversity and equity is important to you personally and that you are committed to making students feel like they belong.
