This resource from Alberta is specifically designed for teachers to help them incorporate a wide range of Indigenous ways of learning into their classrooms. This is certainly coming from a more holistic approach as opposed to specific content connections which, as we’ve been learning, is more authentic. I think, in terms of making teachers more comfortable trying some of these ways, this site does a great job. They have a lot of text based descriptions of different options for classrooms, as well as a wide range of videos or audio from different sources to help teachers feel more comfortable. A perfect example of this, which would certainly make me feel more confident trying this practice is the video of Judy Louis engaging a class in a circle story technique. Seeing the technique in action with an authentic group of kids is so much better for a nervous teacher than just reading about possibilities they might encounter. So overall, a great resource for what I’m trying to accomplish!
