In a video that I watched recently titled, “If not here, where?” the speaker said, “Success for me is when we don’t need Aboriginal Education, we just have Education.” This reminded me of how we decide assessment or the “how will we know they get it” part of our lessons and units. It speaks to the future date of how will we know the Government gets it in terms of reconciliation and I think it’s a powerful phrase that needs to be shared.
The image below is something I came across while reading the Aboriginal Resources Guide from the Surrey School District. I think this visual is really important for us and our students to see the differences and begin to practice them within our everyday lives.

Thank you Sasha. I have known the scale previously, but this is the first time I have read it in relation to teaching ETC 521. I mean as a personal reflection of whether or not I am “doing” this. I am reminded, sometimes not so gently, of the ways I have been colonized. I am happy to have reread this chart. \*/
