How will I continue my research and practice on Indigenous Ways of Knowing:

Lesson Planning

In my 10 week practicum I will embed Aboriginal Perspectives into my lesson plans. I am planning Art and Dance units that have great opportunities for the class to engage with indigenous issues and perspectives. This particular experience will focus on First Peoples’ views and knowledge.

Visiting the MOA at UBC for more information and teacher resources.

The Aboriginal Focus School

The Aboriginal Focus School is located at Sir William Macdonald Elementary School.http://www.vsb.bc.ca/aboriginal-school

Resource Book

I want to create a picture book that includes resources and images of what embedding Aboriginal Perspectives look like! I think this will be a great resource for new teachers!
