Event Flyer – for additional details and easy sharing

Founded upon the First Peoples Principles of Learning, English First Peoples courses for Grades 10-12 offer all BC students backgrounds the opportunity to explore First Peoples’ worldviews through written, visual, and oral literature. The courses were developed through the collaboration of First Nations educators with the BC Ministry of Education and it is notable that English First Peoples (EFP) 12 is fully equivalent to English 12 for BC post-secondary entrance requirements.

Originally published in 2008, the EFP Teacher Resource Guides have been revised to reflect the revised BC curriculum and incorporate recently-published First Peoples literature. At this workshop, teachers will receive a copy of the new resource guide, discuss its use, participate in activities from the guide, and see our display of First Peoples literature resources.

Haida Film Screening

EDGE OF THE KNIFE (Sgaawaay K'uuna) Waai Edenshaw, Helen Haig-Brown, Canada, 2018 100 mins. In Haida with English subtitles.  Classification: 14A - Violence  Curriculum Interest: BC First peoples 12, Social Studies 10 & 11, English First Peoples Filmed on stunning Haida Gwaii, Gwaai Edenshaw and Helen Haig-Brown's 19th-century epic is a nod to the grand storytelling traditions that lure us to the big screen. The fact that it's the first narrative scripted and shot in two dialects of the endangered Haida language-which has only 20-odd fluent speakers left-also certifies it as a landmark work of cinema. Guilt-ridden after a tragic accident at sea, Adiits'ii (Tyler York) retreats into the wilderness where he's plagued by spirits and transformed into Gaagiixiid/Gaagiid, the Haida Wildman. As his loved ones, including best friend Kwa (William Russ), set out to capture and cure him, Adiits'ii grows increasingly feral. Working in collaboration with Isuma, the team responsible for Atanarjuat: The Fast Runner, Edenshaw and Haig-Brown harness raging elements and swirling emotions to craft a riveting dramatization of this classic Haida tale of survival, forgiveness and community.

Frankly Speaking

MOVING FORWARD TOGETHER: RESURGENCE AND RECONCILIATION IN INDIGENOUS EDUCATION Wednesday, October 17th, 2018 | 100 Neville Scarfe 5:30 PM to 8:00PM Dear Colleagues, You are invited to join Dr. Blye Frank, Dean of Faculty of Education, University of British Columbia, for the third installment of the FRANKLY SPEAKING event on Wednesday, October 17th, 2018. In the spirit of ideas worth advancing, the theme will be Indigenous Education. In 2015, the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada released a list of 94 Calls to Action that would start the reconciliation process between Indigenous people and the settlers of Canada. The reconciliation process is indeed a process – a process that starts with education. And through education, we better understand the history, policies, practices and decisions that affect First Nations in Canada, and that have led us to today. The Right Honourable Paul Martin will introduce the Martin Family Initiative (MFI), a charitable organization created by his family to improve educational outcomes among Aboriginal youth through innovation and collaboration. FRANKLY SPEAKING provides alumni and friends of the Faculty of Education, University of British Columbia, with the opportunity to hear from prominent speakers on featured topics relevant to the field of education. EVENT DETAILS Wednesday, October 17th, 2018 5:30 p.m. – 6:00 p.m. | Registration 6:00 p.m. – 7:30 p.m. | Program 7:30 p.m. – 8:00 p.m. | Reception* Room 100, Neville Scarfe Building UBC Point Grey Campus 2125 Main Mall Vancouver, BC Cost: $10.00 *light afternoon refreshments and discussions Space in limited and advance registration is required.

Reconciliation Through Education

Course Update

Course Update from:  Reconciliation Through Indigenous Education

Go to Course

The Faculty of Education at the University of British Columbia will once again offer the Massive Open Online Course: Reconciliation Through Indigenous Education starting October 23rd.
This free six week course supports professional and personal learning for advancing Indigenous priorities and reconciliation in community, education, and work contexts. It runs asynchronously, which means you view materials and engage in the course at your own pace. There are many exemplars from Canada, Australia, the US, and New Zealand.
You are receiving this email because you registered for a previous offering of the course. The course is rich with resources that you may wish to revisit.
We encourage you to register for the course and share this invitation to register with your personal and professional networks.
The course includes reports, innovations, and exemplars, as well as a range of multimodal materials. In addition, it brings attention to how all of us can strengthen our commitments to reconciliation through education and action in places where we live, learn, and work.
Re-affirm your own commitment to reconciliation by inviting others to take the course, Reconciliation Through Indigenous Education.

RECONCILIATION THROUGH
INDIGENOUS EDUCATION

October 23 – December 4

A free Massive Open Online Course

http://pdce.educ.ubc.ca/Reconciliation/

Engage with Indigenous knowledge keepers, educational leaders, and resources to enhance your understanding and knowledge of practices that advance reconciliation in the places where you live, learn, and work.

COURSE DESCRIPTION

This course will help you envision how Indigenous histories, perspectives, worldviews, and approaches to learning can be made part of the work we do in classrooms, organizations, communities, and our everyday experiences in ways that are thoughtful and respectful. In this course, reconciliation emphasizes changing institutional structures, practices, and policies, as well as personal and professional ideologies to create environments that are committed to strengthening our relationships with Indigenous peoples.
For educators, this means responding to educational reforms that prioritize improved educational outcomes for Indigenous learners. In addition, educators must support all learners to develop their knowledge and understanding of Indigenous people’s worldviews and cultures as a basis for creating equitable and inclusive learning spaces. To support these goals, teachers, administrators, young people, school staff, and researchers will learn from Indigenous Elders, educational leaders, and culturally relevant learning resources as part of their experiences in this Massive Open Online Course.
For others who want to build their own competence and the capacity of those around them to engage in relationships with Indigenous peoples based on intercultural understanding, empathy, and respect, this course will help get you started in this process.

COURSE DETAILS

This online course is delivered using the edX platform.

• DATES: October 23 – December 4, 2018

The First Peoples Principles of Learning is an important element of the re-design of BC¹s new curriculum. The goal of this Summer Institute is to assist educators from K-12 to incorporate FPPL into their curriculum planning, teaching practice, and learning environments.

Educators will engage with Indigenous perspectives, pedagogies, and worldviews to deepen their understanding of the FPPL and how these might be localized to classroom, school, and community contexts. Practical concrete instructional strategies, exemplars, materials and resources for teachers will be presented throughout the two-week course.

First Peoples Child and Family Review

Young people are experts in love and fairness, and leaders in the reconciliation movement. It is our great pleasure to present this special child and youth edition of the First Peoples Child & Family Review. Meaningful reconciliation must engage young people in learning about Canada’s history of colonization, encourage creative thinking about the future, and provide opportunities for children and youth to make a difference. Engaging young people in reconciliation and social justice nurtures compassion and moral courage, and bolsters self-confidence. Adults have much to learn from the wisdom of children and youth.  Each submission in the journal was reviewed by another young person to ensure the publication is respectful and conveys fairness, togetherness, respect, and love.  Thank you to all the children and youth who sent submissions for the journal. We recognize and greatly appreciate all of the hard work that went into each and every submission. We encourage all of you to keep on doing the amazing things you are doing to make this country one that uplifts both Indigenous and non-Indigenous children, youth, and their families. We look forward to the future with hope for a brighter, better Canada for all. Click here to view the full edition for FREE! Your friends at the Caring Society :)
