Badging programmes break down barriers and build up students
As a mentor and teacher with the Peel District School Board (PDSB) in Ontario, Kim Thomas has worked with children and youth from marginalized and equity-deserving communities for almost 30 years. These students, says Thomas “have faced some of the greatest barriers” in accessing educational opportunities. And while the PDSB “has been very intentional around dismantling anti-Black racism,” she is excited about new program partnerships with corporations and organizations that “open up doors for Black and Indigenous students.” These learning initiatives have the potential to “bring the kids from the back of the line to the front,” says Thomas.
