When creating and implementing policies we have found the following expectations to be effective in ensuring optimum learning, inclusion, equity, decolonization remain at the forefront:
Promote Critical Discourse: - Team members actively participate to share and value multiple perspectives. - Employ structures and processes that ensure members are heard and valued for their unique perspectives. - Expect and embrace differing views and unconventional and innovative thinking. - Seek to understand; avoid making assumptions or passing judgment. - Remain focused on finding coherence and solutions. - Provide feedback that is supportive and constructive.
Hold Ethical Space for Engagement: - Team members will create a place to collaborate through mutual respect, responsibility, kindness and generosity. - Consider Indigenous Ways of Being, Belonging, Doing, and Knowing, taking into consideration the TRC Calls to Action in all that we discuss, decide, and action. - Actively understand and acknowledge individual privilege to mitigate bias. - Hold space for alternative world views, thinking and perspectives. - Understand the context, acknowledge and seek to fill knowledge gaps.
