The Special Education and Inclusion Department, in collaboration with all staff, is committed to providing equitable access to learning opportunities for all students, through our ongoing commitment to Truth and Reconciliation, human rights, anti-oppression, equity and anti-ableism.
The work of the Special Education and Inclusion Department is guided by the goals outlined in the Multi-Year Strategic Plan (MYSP). The TDSB values a strong public education system that promotes full participation by identifying, removing, and preventing accessibility barriers so that all students, including students with disabilities/special education needs and intersecting identities, are provided with opportunities to realize their full potential.
The conditions for success, listed below, are factors that contribute to the successful implementation of the Multi-Year Strategic Plan, 2024-2028.
Partnering with Parents/Caregivers/Guardians and Community
We partner with parents/caregivers/guardians and the community as essential partners in our shared efforts to improve outcomes for all students
Culture of Human Rights and Respect
We foster a culture of human rights and respect that enables all learning and working environments to be safe, welcoming, and inclusive.
Accessibility and Inclusion
We increase the ability of all students to access education in a way that reflects their needs and removes structural, procedural, and attitudinal barriers to inclusion.
Strategic, Agile, and Equitable Leadership
We develop and support leaders who can allocate resources, delegate responsibilities, and empower staff to effectively implement the TDSB’s strategic directions. These leaders are also dynamic and responsive to current conditions and unanticipated challenges.
Effective Communication
We regularly engage in two-way communication with our internal and external educational partners.
