Passport to Reconciliation
What is the听?
In November 2021 we launched a year of learning: The Passport to Reconciliation. Each month we share a different learning focus. Learning is action and everyone in KPR has a role to play in Reconciliation.
Who can participate in the learning?
- Individual staff
- Classrooms
- Whole School
- Departments in a School or at the Board Office
Why is this important?
- National Day for Truth and Reconciliation
Where do we start?
- You can begin with this month's focus.
- You can go back and do any learning you missed in any month.
- This learning can happen online or in person. Everything you need to begin is provided.
Why do we need to share our learning?
We are taking action by sharing our learning and its impact.听It is a way to pledge our commitment and to make the learning visible.
This year we are learning as action. #ReconciliACTIONatKPR
There are staff and students in schools and departments across the system choosing to engage in important learning through the Passport to Reconciliation.
Our goal is to have every school and every department engaged in learning as action through the Passport to Reconciliation.
