I have been looking into the First Peoples Principles of Learning (FPPL) and if technology can support or play a role in exercising the principles in my classroom. Through the research process, I wanted to inquire more about what the principles really mean and I came across this valuable blog by Jo Chrona, a BC Educator and Curriculum Coordinator for the First Nations Education Steering Committee (FNESC) who is part of the Kitsumkalum First Nation and helped develop the English First Peoples 12 and the First Peoples Principles of Learning embedded within that course.
Though the blog is a couple of years old now, Jo Chrona shares with us valuable information, such as how the FPPL came to be and how they can be embedded within classrooms, as well as authentic resources and appropriation. There is also a professional development activity that goes into details of what the principles mean. I found this to be very helpful in understanding the principles and providing context.
