UBC Faculty of Education's Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) on Indigenous Education

UBC Faculty of Education is delivering a Massive Open Online Course (MOOC), a free 6-week course titled Reconciliation Through Indigenous Education that begins on January 27, 2015.

It is facilitated by Dr. Jan Hare. Jan Hare is an Anishinaabe from the M'Chigeeng First Nation. She holds the Faculty of Education's new Professorship in Indigenous Education for Teacher Education at UBC. Her research interests include the social practices of literacy in Aboriginal families, schools and communities. She has a particular interest in Aboriginal early learning and youth issues. She is mentoring doctoral students working on Aboriginal language revitalization and Aboriginal education.
Participants will learn about Indigenous Education through the lens of reconciliation, and will engage with educational leaders and resources that provide direction for how education programs and teaching practices can be modified in order to meaningfully integrate Indigenous knowledge worldviews and pedagogies in classrooms, schools and communities.
