résumé anglais

This training unit is designed primarily to help school principals make fair and informed decisions in cases of conflict of cultural or religious values arising in the school setting. The approach used in this document focuses on eight practical case studies in which the cultural communities involved are named. The unit is designed to present a general approach to conflicts, rather than detailed instructions for dealing with the various possible conflicts. One of the key purposes of this training unit is to address one of the dominant challenges in the Québec school system today - the handling of value conflicts.

Never forget the main person involved, the child, who is probably the best practical expert you find on the question of accommodation. (Author - page 19)
