Outreach

Outreach is an essential program at Inglenook.  We would like to share a great new story about Outreach.  Erik Shaw is working with E.G.A.L.E. sponsor (Equity for Gay and Lesbians Everywhere). With their guidance, Erik is designing school curriculum to be LGBT inclusive.  His goal is to share his research with teachers to create a more diverse curriculum in History and Social Sciences.  Recently, Erik has taught a class in Classical studies, and researching a curriculum for Ancient Civilization grade 11 course. Erik has recently been asked by O.I.S.E. and the Durham board to give LGBT training for teachers in sensitivity and acceptance.  We at inglenook are very proud of Erik and wish to commend Erik for his service to create better educational environments.
