Description
Using the Circle of Courage as a teaching model, this course explores the richness of that model through the lens of both Indigenous and non-Indigenous pedagogies, reconciliatory practices, decolonization and the teachings of the people whose land on which our schools operate today. It necessarily incorporates an intentional and sustained exploration of the impacts of colonialism, using tools of decolonization to create space for reimagining business as usual. Students are challenged to safely explore spaces in which singular truths may not exist and unresolved conflict must be tolerated. This course assumes at least a basic understanding of Indigenous Education issues.
