Abstract
This project examines the development of the Equity, Diversity, Inclusivity, and Anti-Racism (EDIAR) Resource Hub at the Huron-Perth Catholic District School Board (HPCDSB) of Ontario. The Resource Hub is an online platform which is designed to assist educators and school leaders by providing access to a comprehensive depository of resources which includes articles, policy documents, and training modules. Its primary goal is to promote equity in education and facilitate professional development in alignment with Ontario’s Equity and Inclusive Education Strategy (2009) and the Equity Action Plan (2017). The project investigates how the Resource Hub aligns with these strategic frameworks and analyzes its effectiveness in transforming classroom practices, school environments, and leadership approaches within the HPCDSB. By analyzing the development of the Resource Hub, the study explores its contribution to advancing inclusivity and social justice within the educational setting. The project highlights how the Hub supports the development of equitable teaching practices and fosters a culture of inclusivity among staff and students. The project underscores the Resource Hub’s significance in enhancing the accessibility of resources for educators and approaches effective recommendations for refining its functionality and broadening its access. These insights aim to reinforce the Resource Hub’s scope to support educators in their professional growth and drive systemic changes towards greater equity, diversity, and inclusivity in education.
