Instructors in the community of practice worked to reimagine what it means to take students on the Land to learn. Some of the instructors iterated on the activities and resources they employ as they teach students on the Land. Below you can find some examples of their efforts and lessons learned to inform your approaches and practice.

One of EaSEIL’s goals is to support instructors in engaging with Indigenous contexts, scholars and communities connected to their course’s field sites embracing community engaged learning (CEL) and CARE principles, as well as Kayla Lar-Son’s 6 R’s of Indigenous OER.

EaSEIL accomplishes this by modeling approaches in leadership activities (e.g., visits with community members and local centres); Community of Practice learning activities (e.g., organized cultural centre tours); scaffolding instructors in their course-specific contexts, creating space for sharing models and experiences in Community of Practice discussions; and developing and testing a novel 3-Tier Indigenous Engagement model. 

Below you can find tools to support you in designing learning experiences in which you take students onto the Land. These can be useful in other settings too!
