Abstract
Within our educational system, we have often heard equity referred to as the appropriate distribution of resources such as assistive technology, or extra time on exams, with academic success as the goal. We appreciate this view of equity, but we would like to expand it. What if, instead of seeing equity only as the provision of material resources to students, we also saw it as the provision of social and emotional resources ? Furthermore, what if instead of only having academic success as the end goal of education, we also aimed for students’ well-being ? Moreover, we would also like to argue that by doing this we would also be able to enhance their chances of success in life beyond academics. Allow us to explain.
Résumé
Le texte met en lumière une vision de l’équité en éducation. Souvent, l’équité est associée à une distribution équitable de ressources matérielles, comme des technologies assistées ou du temps supplémentaire pour les examens, dans le but d’améliorer les résultats scolaires. On propose une vision plus large de l’équité, qui inclurait non seulement des ressources matérielles, mais aussi des ressources sociales et émotionnelles.
On s’appuie sur des recherches qui montrent l’importance des relations entre enseignants et élèves sur le bien-être et la réussite scolaire. On souligne que les élèves qui se sentent soutenus et en sécurité à l’école sont plus susceptibles de réussir.
