This resource educates women teachers about what constitutes violence, how to identify potential abusers, understand the impact on children and benefit from community resources.

Cultural Inclusivity - Impact on Academic Achievement

Example of a recent Conference workshop: Participants were taken on an interactive journey to get a glimpse of life-experiences of children whose achievement and social development were impacted by cultural insensitivity.  Participants were engaged in discussions that examined some intervention strategies that have been applied to correct a number of situations while exploring research findings of proactive processes that made a positive difference.
