If Canada's education systems were built by and for all learners, how might they be different? What can Indigenous cultural beliefs and practices teach us about teaching and learning? In what ways do these teachings inspire us to re-consider established approaches to post-secondary education?
In this virtual workshop, we will explore some of the current realities Indigenous people face, as well as teaching and learning philosophies and strategies that are being used to support all learners in the classroom. It will explore the purpose and practice of Indigenous education, considering the question of how educators and educational leaders can successfully work together to decolonize teaching and learning inside and outside the classroom. This workshop will empower educators to design and develop culturally affirming and intellectually enriching curriculum, build more responsive student services, and bring together a growing educational community.
