Description
The course explores a pragmatic approach to implementing Métis content into the classroom in a good way by honoring the voices of Métis-specific curriculum and content creators. Addressing the hesitancy created by not knowing which resources and methods to utilize in our classrooms, this course covers the following topics: culture, history, linguistics and governance. Highlights for educators include lesson & unit plans created in the community, ways to create relationships with local Métis organizations and the Métis nation, inviting guest speakers into your schools, and strategies to deal with Métis-specific push back found in both schools and classrooms.
