Pulling Together: A Guide for Teachers and Advisors
Instructor: Jaimie Kechego
Delivered Online: August 6 – 27, 2024, Tuesdays, 1:00 – 2:30 p.m.
I welcome you into the Indigenous Curriculum and Pedagogy space. Please join me in this new series as we explore what Indigenization means for teachers and advisors. Corrine Michel, Secwepemc faculty, and Janice Simcoe, an Anishinaabe educational leader, both at Camosun College, have said (personal communications, 2017), “Indigenization of teaching practice is an ongoing process rather than a start-to-end project. Thus, we need to think in terms of flow and ongoing learning rather than hoping to have a checklist that will guide the process to a finale.” A checklist may function as a life jacket, as it may be a way to stay afloat, but this approach does not provide you with the skills to grow and manoeuvre with this growth. In some ways, the checklist or life jacket is a comfortable safety device that could result in people “starting to drift back to normal practice, a sort of impermanent transformation.”
