The Inclusive Workshop Toolkit includes a rubric, checklist, templates, and resources to incorporate accessibility and inclusivity into workshops. It provides considerations for the logistics of workshop preparation, facilitation, and participant engagement, incorporating themes from Universal Design for Learning (UDL) and active learning pedagogy.
If you are starting a workshop from scratch, use the initiate, plan, and facilitate sections of the SKILLS21 Facilitator Guide, and then after you have your first draft, use this rubric to guide your revisions.
Once you have an outline or first draft of your workshop (including structure, preliminary content, ideas for activities, etc.), use the rubric to review your workshop and make edits accordingly. Once you have a final draft, create the Facilitator and Participant Guides. If you have an existing workshop, you can use the rubric to review it, and perhaps use the Facilitator and Participant templates to create guides, if they don鈥檛 exist already.

Glossary of terms
Accessibility: The quality of an environment that enables a person to access it with ease.
Active learning: Any approach to instruction in which all students are asked to engage in the learning process. Active learning stands in contrast to "traditional" modes of instruction in which students are passive recipients of knowledge from an expert.
Anti-oppression: Strategies and actions that actively challenge existing intersectional inequities and injustices
Barrier: A physical, structural, technological, socioeconomic or cultural obstruction, or one that is related to information, communications, attitudes or mindsets, that hinders the full and equal participation of a person or group of people in society.
Decolonization: A process that consists of challenging and dismantling colonial ideas, values and practices embedded in society in order to restore Indigenous ways of knowing, being and doing.
Diversity: The variety of identities found within an organization, group or society. Diversity is expressed through factors such as culture, ethnicity, religion, sex, gender, sexual orientation, age, language, education, physical abilities and disabilities, family status or socioeconomic status.
Equity: The principle of considering people's unique experiences and differing situations, and ensuring they have access to the resources and opportunities that are necessary for them to attain just outcomes. Equity aims to eliminate disparities and disproportions that are rooted in historical and contemporary injustices and oppression.
Inclusion: The practice of using proactive measures to create an environment where people feel welcomed, respected and valued, and to foster a sense of belonging and engagement. This practice involves changing the environment by removing barriers so that each person has equal access to opportunities and resources and can achieve their full potential.
Indigenous pedagogy and epistemology: Indigenous pedagogy (or the method and practice of teaching) incorporates Indigenous worldviews into engagement with information. Indigenous ways of knowing (or Indigenous epistemology) are deeply linked to both Indigenous pedagogy and Indigenous research methods. As Dr. Marie Battiste (Mi鈥檏maw) writes 鈥淚ndigenous knowledges are diverse learning processes that come from living intimately with the land, working with resources surrounding that land base, and the relationships that it has fostered over time and place鈥�.
Positionality: How differences in social position and power shape identities and access in society
Settler: Anyone who lives somewhere that is not part of a group indigenous to that land. This could be from immigrating to the land recently or being descended from someone who arrived to that land as a product of setter colonialism.
Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC): This provided those directly or indirectly affected by the legacy of the Indian Residential Schools system with an opportunity to share their stories and experiences.
Universal Design for Learning (UDL): A tool used in the implementation of Universal Design for Learning. These guidelines offer a set of concrete suggestions that can be applied to any discipline or domain to ensure that all learners can access and participate in meaningful, challenging learning opportunities.

While this web page is accessible worldwide, 六合彩开奖结果 is on land which has served and continues to serve as a site of meeting and exchange amongst Indigenous peoples, including the Haudenosaunee and Anishinabeg nations. Teaching and Learning Services acknowledges and thanks the diverse Indigenous peoples whose footsteps mark this territory on which peoples of the world now gather. This land acknowledgement is shared as a starting point to provide context for further learning and action.
