Deep practices - Resources for learning about inclusion

The promise and practice of inclusive teaching means that practitioners as key stakeholders in the equity process need to be forever students of the process. Here, we have accumulated a plethora of resources that should continue to challenge your understanding of the human experience as it pertains to education and beyond. The readings, documentaries, podcasts, and other material should provide more food for questions than they do answers. As we seek to develop our practices within a more explicitly inclusive framework we hope that these resources are found to be supportive to the process.
