First Peoples Principles of Learning
Part of my goal for the final assignment is to understand the First People’s Principles of Learning beyond just surface level. This website is a great resource for understanding who developed the principles and what they are about. There is also a deep dive into each of the Principles of Learning, including connecting the principle to other education theories, the implications of the principle for the classroom and the school, and the relevance of the principle to the core competencies.
As an educator, I want to be able to apply the First People’s Principles of Learning in my classroom and I appreciate that this resource give me the theoretical and background knowledge, as well as practical applications on how to do so. Seeing the connections with the curriculum and core competencies is also a valuable way to see the importance of the principles, and how they are connected.
Another great part of this website is the page about authentic resources and appropriation. I am often worried about using stories that I have heard, as they are not mine to tell. I appreciate learning about what resources are appropriate to use and share as a non-Indigenous educator.
Thanks for sharing Tanya! I couldn’t agree more, not only do I want to apply the principles of learning but to do so effectively, it is important to understand them. I also liked the practical applications, this is often where I get stuck, the actual implementation.
