Sessions
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 postsecondary 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.
The draft First Nations Governance Models Teacher Resource Guide (Elem/Sec) will help BC educators introduce students to the traditional and contemporary forms of First Nation governance. The guide provides examples of

historical and present day impacts of colonization on First Nations governance, explains how contemporary First Peoples government systems operate, and explores the goals of First Nations self-government.
The draft Modern Day Treaty in BC Teacher Resource Guide (Elem/Sec) will support BC educators teaching about why treaty making in BC is different from the rest of Canada, including examining the processes involved in resolving Aboriginal Rights and Title in British Columbia, the Modern Day Treaty process, and alternative models, and understanding the responsibilities of all Canadians to respect and uphold the treaties made between the Crown and First Peoples.
At this workshop, participants will receive copies of draft of both guides, discuss their use, and have the opportunity to provide feedback for their further development.
