Village Member Usage Policies

Section 1: PEP

In the Program Evaluation Process (PEP), all Village members will be able to use the online tool for implementing the PEP. The intent is that you and your program community will participate together during the process. However, only the LOVIT Way Keeper or designated PEP Facilitator will be able to submit the final report and save it in your Program’s database storage.

All LOVIT Way Keepers are invited to participate in The LOVIT Way Share the Learning Project and to allow your program’s results to be used by AHSABC for for purposes of research and our ongoing assessment and development of the LOVIT Way PEP resources.

Section 2: Inspire

In the Inspire section, we welcome your curriculum ideas and suggestions to inspire other Village members in their program planning. Submissions will be screened for suitability and edited by our Community Manager. The submitter will be contacted if more details are required; final drafts will be approved by the submitter before posting.

Families in urban AHS programs represent many diverse nations and cultures. According to the Principles and Guidelines of AHS, the program strives to provide cultural experiences relevant to all community members. With our utmost respect for cultural protocols and differences among all Indigenous Nations, we have included the following Cultural Sensitivity Acknowledgement* that applies to our web content and all submissions being shared.

Section 3: Sharing Circle

In the Sharing Circle, members are encouraged to discuss their questions and ideas about the 9 PEP Components with other LOVIT Way members. For the safety and care of all members, posts will be monitored to ensure appropriate content. The LOVIT Way has built-in security features and filters. Flagged comments will be moderated and deleted if unacceptable, and authors will be tracked and notified or muted if the behaviour continues.

Respect

The LOVIT Way brings together a diverse community of beliefs and background and members may disagree with the contributions of others. Disagreeable content does not, by itself, violate these Community Guidelines. Members will violate AHSABC's principles and guidelines where:

• posts contain content that is libelous, defamatory, harassing, malicious or threatening,
• posts contain sexual or obscene content,
• posts promote commercial products or services,
• posts that impersonate others, or
• posts contain the personal information of third parties without consent.

Relevance

The LOVIT Way community is dedicated to Aboriginal Early Childhood Education. Posts and contributions should be relevant to this community and to the development of successful programs across Canada.

*Cultural Sensitivity Acknowledgement

All Nations have their own cultural teachings and stories. Each Inspire experience is being shared with good intentions. You are encouraged to seek guidance and teachings that are reflective and respectful of the community and territories you are in. The intention is to provide inspiration to readers who can then create learning experiences in their own programs.
