Description

The purpose of this guide is to provide a user-friendly handbook to inform school administrators and teachers about the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, highlighting some of its more prevalent implications for educational practice. The guide begins with a brief introduction to the Charter, followed by a synopsis of the pertinent rights and freedoms. The text then focuses on ten main concerns under the Charter and how they relate to both denominational and non-denominational schools and school systems throughout Canada. The sections of the guide cover legal, religious, equality, and minority language rights, plus rights relating to special education and school attendance. Where applicable, each section presents true-to-life case scenarios which highlight suggestions for dealing with those and similar situations.
