Our Commitment to Inclusive Learning and Indigenous Representation
At Pearson, we believe that learning should reflect the diversity of all students while honouring the histories, cultures, and perspectives of Indigenous Peoples across Canada. This commitment shapes how we develop content, collaborate with Indigenous experts, and create inclusive resources across our Business, Accounting, Finance, and Economics portfolios.
Pearson has recently collaborated with Indigenous subject matter experts to develop new business cases and modules that complement the portfolios referenced above. These materials present Indigenous perspectives and considerations beyond those found in textbooks, providing students with opportunities to learn, engage with, and apply this content to deepen their understanding.
