A lot of you may be familiar with the First Peoples Principles of Learning by FNESC. As I was brainstorming lesson plan ideas for my Indigenous STEM project, I decided to explore the FNESC website further to look for additional resources and I am glad I did because I found multiple great resources useful for various educational settings and goals! Here is the website if anyone else would like to explore: http://www.fnesc.ca/.
The Science First Peoples Teacher Resource Guide (Secondary) provides detailed guidelines on what Indigenous knowledge and Indigenous science are, how to involve Indigenous communities, instructions on using narratives in a classroom, assessment suggestions, and sample activities. I am including 3 specific resources from the FNESC website that I will be including in my project but there are many more resources like Truth and Reconciliation teacher guide and information on Residential Schools. This is a website I will definitely visit more often in the future.
