Equity Systems Navigator - Serving Equity-Seeking Students and their Families
Our Equity Systems Navigator bridges the gap between equity-seeking students, families, communities, and the school system to prevent, address, and resolve real or perceived issues of bias, discrimination, racism, sexism, homophobia, and transphobia at Waterloo Catholic District School Board.
Our Systems Navigator:
- Provides support and advocacy to Indigenous, Black, racialized, accessibility needs and 2SLGTBTQIA+ students, families, and caregivers in navigating the school system
- Engages in case management, as part of the school team, to resolve conflicts or disagreements with students and families and to ensure everyone’s voice is heard
- Works with school administrators to develop productive partnerships with families, caregivers, and the community
- Fosters peer support opportunities for Indigenous, Black, racialized and 2SLGTBTQIA+ students
- Establishes space for equity-seeking groups to be heard and recognized as valued, respected members of the WCDSB community
Indigenous, Black, racialized, and accessibility needs, as well as 2SLGBTQIA+ students, families, and caregivers who wish to access the Equity Systems Navigator for support, can complete this form.
