[BCMA] Reconciliation through Indigenous Education

[Moderated BCMA subscriber listserv.]

Hello everyone-

I wanted to share information about this free MOOC (online course) that is
currently being offered through University of British Columbia. It begins
April 1, 2019 and runs for 6 weeks. More information, including the link to
register is below.


*UBC Course:  Reconciliation Through Indigenous Education*



*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 MOOC.F or 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.
