2018 SUMMER INSTITUTE:
Teaching and Learning through First Peoples Principles
EDUC 490S 96A | non-credit

Please note this Summer Institute has been cancelled.
Educators will engage with Indigenous perspectives, pedagogies, and worldviews to deepen their understanding of the FPPL and how these might be localized to classroom, school, and community contexts. Practical concrete instructional strategies, exemplars, materials, and resources for teachers will be presented throughout the two-week course.
The educational landscape is undergoing exciting changes. The First Nations Education Steering Committee has led the way to drive this curriculum change in partnership with BC Ministry of Education. Canada’s Truth and Reconciliation Commission, the BC Auditor General Report on Indigenous Education, and BC’s new curriculum create opportunities for educators to enhance success for Indigenous learners and ensure all students learn from Aboriginal knowledge in the classroom.
