This is British Columbia’s Ministry of Education’s facilitator guide for educators on how to bring Indigenous knowledge, content, and perspectives into classrooms and schools.
For my project context, it serves as an example of instructional design to address Indigenous content, though I’m also looking at it from a critical lens.
The document lists a robust development team, including the First Nation Steering Committees, an Indigenous Education Network, and the Metis Nation of British Columbia. However, from an Instructional Design perspective, guidance for the teachers is not also embedded in the First People’s Principles for Learning (which others have already listed in their blogs).
I want to look over this guide in more detail to see if the principles are within the facilitator materials in a subtle way, or if the instructional design does not in fact reflect Indigenous pedagogy and a more direct perspective from the development team.
