Resource Overview 3
How can parent and community involvement contribute to positive student experiences and achievement? There are many teachers, both Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal, who are currently experiencing success including First Nations, Métis and Inuit topics, culture and pedagogical approaches in their classrooms. As a result, an increased number of Indigenous parents and community members are taking a more active role in their children’s schooling. The digital resource Walking Together: First Nations, Métis and Inuit Perspectives in Curriculum from Alberta Education provides many of these innovative classroom examples. For a sample from this resource, view the video Caslan Dancers, which shows the positive effects from introducing Métis dance and fiddling to Caslan School. This video is located in the Exploring Connections section of the Symbolism and Traditions topic area.
