Website: EdCan Network
This website provides educators with a variety of different teaching resources (both for professional development and for use within the classroom. Of particular interest to me were two articles: “How can we embed Truth and Reconciliation in every school?” by Dr. Pamela Toulouse, and “How teachers can integrate Truth and Reconciliation in their classrooms: Infographic: How to get started and who can help”, by André Rebeiz. The first article discusses the parts of Reconciliation that apply to the classroom and how teachers can implement activities relating to increasing student awareness of Indigenous issues; the article also provides a downloadable PDF fact sheet that can be posted on a bulletin board for quick reference.
The second article provides teachers with an infographic containing tips and tricks on how to immediately implement Truth and Reconciliation initiatives within the classroom. In addition, it also provides a list of excellent resources for use in Canadian classrooms. One of which is the Martin Family Initiative containing a link to the Promising Practices in Indigenous Education Website. This second website contains a wide variety of links to resources that specifically address key components of the TRC documents that need to be addressed within different areas of the educational system.
