Jo-ann Archibald to lead 601 seminar on TRC’s Honouring the Truth, Reconciling for the Future

Posted on November 23, 2015 by | Leave a comment

For Wednesday’s EDCP 601 meeting (25 November), Associate Dean for Indigenous Education, Jo-ann Archibald, will join us to lead a seminar on the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada‘s summary Report, Honouring the Truth, Reconciling for the Future.

How do we respond to the Call to Action for Education for Reconciliation? The question for us is then how do we ethically, meaningfully and thoughtfully address this Call? The truths of Honouring the Truth, Reconciling for the Future are extremely difficult and the Call extremely important.

Readings for the Seminar

  1. Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada. (2015). Honouring the truth, reconciling for the future: Summary of the final report of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada. Ottawa, CA: Author.
  2. Democracy Now! (2015, June 30). “Cultural genocide:” Landmark report decries Canada’s forced schooling of indigenous children [Interview transcript]. Democracy Now!
  3. Fontaine v. Canada (Attorney General). (2014, January 14) Ontario Superior Court of Justice, 283.
  4. Marker, M. (2016). Borders and the borderless Coast Salish: Decolonising historiographies of Indigenous schooling. History of Education, 45, 1-23.

BC Ministry rolls out new curriculum #bced #UBCteachered #UBCeducation

Posted on September 8, 2015 by | Leave a comment

Last Tuesday, 1 September, BC’s Ministry of Education rolled out its new curriculum (Phase 1). Of course, the curriculum raises more questions than answers but that’s ok. For us in EDCP 601, the big question is what does the ministry mean by “curriculum.”

Simply put, “Curriculum is the game plan for teaching – it maps out what teachers teach, and what students are expected to learn.” So we start here, most recent and perhaps most importantly: What is curriculum and why does it matter? In this press release, the Ministry does not mention pedagogy or instruction but does mention learning a handful of times and teaching or teachers many times over.

What is pedagogy? Learning? Teaching? Instruction? Does it matter?
