Educators in particular can use this playlist with high-school-aged students to challenge stereotypical and prejudiced narratives about 2SLGBTQIA+ people, while adding complexity to the experiences of folks who identify as being part of this community.

To complete the course ECUR 415.3: Current Issues in EAL, students are required to submit a final paper that reflects their growing knowledge about English as an Additional Language (EAL). EAL is the term used in Saskatchewan to describe students who speak languages other than English and require adequate levels of English to be successful with the school curriculum.
Most students enrolled in the online course ECUR 415 are practicing teachers who are working toward a Post-Degree Certificate in EAL Education (PDCEAL), while continuing to live and work in various locations both within and outside of the province. The certificate program, offered through the College of Education, University of Saskatchewan, is recognized by provincial education authorities as being equivalent to one full year of post-degree study. As such, the certificate equips teachers with the knowledge and expertise to be considered teacher-specialists of EAL Education. The course ECUR 415 also attracts some pre-service teachers who are pursuing a Bachelor of Education degree and have an interest in EAL Education.

"Shifting Minds 3.0: Redefining the Learning Landscape in Canada offers a vehicle for learning systems to reflect and inspire innovation that supports competency and resiliency in a global economy."
KEY MESSAGES "*Surface changes in education will not equip students for the 21st century: change is needed at the core of educational practice. *Whole-system reform requires conditions that support educators in examining and reshaping the foundations on which their practice is built. *A dual strategy of both improvement and innovation is required to maintain stability while enabling forward momentum. *Leaders watch for the fine balance between the need for autonomy to innovate at the school level and the desire for systemic and sustainable improvement. *Diversity is messy but critical in order to minimize ‘group think’ and maximize the possible solutions that will meet real-world needs. *Insights from complexity theory can help leaders think outside the box of the traditional system to inspire and spread positive changes. *Change is inevitable: transformation is possible."
