Indigenous Pedagogy 2
Between 2006 and 2011, the Aboriginal population in Canada increased at a rate almost four times higher than the non-Aboriginal population. While the rate of increase has slowed, the Aboriginal growth rate is still higher than the non-Aboriginal growth grate. Currently, too many First Nation, Métis and Inuit students in our communities are not engaged by school, so they drop out. The digital resource Walking Together: First Nations, Métis and Inuit Perspectives in Curriculum from Alberta Education can assist educators in learning about First Nation, Métis and Inuit perspectives, ways of knowing and pedagogical approaches. This knowledge will not only help educators engage First Nation, Métis and Inuit students but will enhance learning for all students. For a sample from this resource, watch the video Beyond a Pedagogy of Fort in which Dr. Dwayne Donald and students at the University of Alberta discuss teaching and learning from Indigenous perspectives. This video is located in the Observing Practice section of the Indigenous Pedagogy topic area.
