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 postsecondary education?   

In this virtual workshop, we will explore some of the current realities Indigenous people face in post-secondary and in the workplace, as well as teaching and learning philosophies and management strategies that are being used to support all members of a community*. This workshop will use post-secondary education as an example to 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. 

*Community being in the classroom or in the office with both Indigenous and non-Indigenous.

Target population: Humber College faculty, administrators, support staff, work study students and RBC staff.
