In order to ensure that our schools engage, inspire and challenge students, we need to focus on three things:

  • create healthy school climates so that teachers can teach and students can learn in a safe and respectful space; and
  • provide students and teachers with better access to educational resources such as school libraries and current and engaging educational technology.[5]
