M2, P2: English First Peoples Resource Guide

The First Nations Education Steering Committee has created a English First Peoples (EFP) 10-12 Teacher Resource Guide (2018) to support implementation of BC’s EFP 10-12 curriculum. It is fairly new, updated from the previous 2008 and 2010 versions. Although our school does not offer these courses in 10, 11, or 12 currently, unfortunately, I think the resource guide is still something I can use within my ELA courses. The guide involves planning for instruction, such as information about First Peoples pedagogy and connections to the First Peoples Principles of Learning, dealing with sensitive topics, literature circles and much more, as well as themes and topics, text recommendations, and assessment units. It is a rich resource guide that offers a lot of learning for me as a non-indigenous educator.
