Inspired by @JodyKohoko and her team at OCDSB and the work of @GholdyM here are some considerations when including Indigenous content in your classroom

#OntEd After the events of this week if you want to be a part of meaningful action to support #reconciliation & justice, here’s something you can do…Teach about the doctrine of discovery as the foundation for genocide,racism, and dispossession. Ps It’s already in the curriculum.
Thank you @Rileyyesnomaybe for sharing examples with S’s of brilliant Indigenous folks doing the everyday work to effect change & encouraging them do the same. You are inspiring 💫@WellingtonCath @ugdsb
So lucky to sitting with @Rileyyesnomaybe, an honour to bring 🔥 & Indigenous brilliance & imagining our futures in solidarity to @ugdsb & @WellingtonCath students #IndigenousHistoryMonth @CheyenneVivian @douccath

"The assignment is not everything. Everything is the person in front of you. The learners are not the same people as those you had last term." @JericaFraser highlighting the importance of individualized approaches in education. #MindSpreadOutVoicEd
#MindSpreadOutVoicEd I am reminded @clclyne of a question you asked “How do we differentiate anti-Indigenous racism?” An important question to keep asking. As educators what do we need to do to address this? Thank you for your insight @JericaFraser
Ss @FalconFeat asked great questions and learned about Métis culture and the history of the sash thank you Ms Hamilton for welcoming Jennifer and Leslie @GrandRiverMetis today #belong #gratitude @WellingtonCath

What an awesome resource for #IndigenousVeteransDay on Nov. 8!
Did you know that November 8th is #IndigenousVeteransDay
Feel free to use this resource to learn about some incredible people who often get left out:

Important questions to ask: what is and what isn’t land based learning. How do we support educators to do this in a good way and really engage with the land in an authentic way.
Q1. In what ways might this understanding that “it’s always about the land” help us as educators to more fully understand relationships between Indigenous and Settler people? #SettlerVoicEd
Thank you @FalconFeat students for asking really great questions and @LindsayGallant6 to Aalpi for sharing Inuit ways of knowing with your students #buildingrelationships @WellingtonCath @YRunstedler
Our Grade 5's were blessed with a visit from Aalpi to learn more about Inuit Way of Life and Culture @FalconFeat @douccath
