Teaching for Reconciliation in the K to 12 Curricula

3 credits · Undergraduate

Drawing from the Truth and Reconciliation Report's Calls to Action, this course guides students to frame a personal orientation to Indigenous education and plan to teach for reconciliation. Through readings, lectures, group learning activities, interactions with elders/knowledge keepers, reflective practice, and writing, students will link their learning about historical and cultural foundations of First Nations, Métis, and Inuit education to respond to community and cultural contexts. Teacher candidates will learn to infuse Indigenous ways of knowing into the K-12 curriculum in order to build relationships of mutual understanding.
