Module 3 – Entry 2

The Organization for Cooperative and Economic Development (OECD) had developed “The 7 Principles of Learning” that highlight some features of powerful learning environments. Our school district has embraced these learning principles for a number of years now and these learning principles are being expected to be used.
Here is a link to an executive summary for the 7 Principles of Learning called, The Nature of Learning (2013) which is taken from the full publication “Innovative Learning Environments”.

The executive summary, The Nature of Learning (2013), looks at a socio-constructivist viewpoint for how people learn. Implementing the 7 Principles of Learning into classrooms should yield better experiences for teachers and learners.
I am interested in looking at how these principles (which our school district expects) can be used to support Indigenous ways of teaching and learning. I am hoping to find commonalities that will allow me to develop lessons that will engage my Indigenous learners and my non-Indigenous learner at a high level.
