EDUCATION WEEK

Education Week 2022 takes place from April 24 to 30. This year’s theme is: Cultural Responsiveness – Meeting students where they are

Education Week is an opportunity for the education community to acknowledge educators, school support staff and partners for their outstanding work relative to the Education Week theme. An award ceremony recognizing the work of teachers, support staff, administrators and Early Childhood Educators in the pre-primary program will take place on Monday, April 25 2022. 

We want to recognize educators, school support staff and education partners for their outstanding work in recognizing that culture is much bigger than skin colour and race. It is the unique ‘ways of living’ that every child carries with them when they arrive at school each day. Cultural Responsiveness stresses the positive pedagogy of building relationships with students, parents, guardians and community to get to know home cultures. This ensures safe, caring schools where every student sees themselves reflected throughout their learning journey. 

The awards ceremony is made possible through collaborative efforts of the following education partners – Nova Scotia Department of Education and Early Childhood Development, Nova Scotia Federation of Home & School Associations, la Fédération des parents acadiens de la Nouvelle-Écosse, the Public-School Administrators Association of Nova Scotia, the Nova Scotia Teachers Union, Council on African Canadian Education, the Council on Mi'kmaq Education, and the Atlantic Provinces Special Education Authority.
