The featured blog post’s for this category is recommended Indigenous Education content and resources that would be suitable for primary aged classrooms. When looking at incorporating Indigenous Education into your lesson plans and classroom, it is important to remember a few key points.
- Indigenous Education should be meaningful; if you are adding Indigenous content to your lesson to check a box you are doing it wrong. Be intentional and purposeful with content sharing.
- Understand that not all Indigenous content is yours to share, seek guidance and permission to share information that may be sacred.
- Look for local Indigenous authors and artists, this is a great way that we can honour and give back to our local communities.
The First Peoples Principles of Learning is another important resource to consistantly review. Be sure that you are making an effort to encorporate these principles into all aspects of your teaching.
