Closing the gap: Equality verses Equity and BC’s New Curriculum

How do we close the gap between teaching and inclusion of all children? The idea is that the new standards of teaching, to all children, is a better investment for the latest education funding. Equally not all students would benefit from the same supports in a classroom. When students are given different supports to make tasks possible they are being treated equitably; however, the goal is to remove all barriers in curriculum and teaching by providing flexible opportunities for all students without supports or accommodations. Moore suggests “We need to re-design our teaching to better meet the needs of all students so that you need to add less support after the fact.”
