Workshop Learning Outcomes
The Guide for Curriculum Developers lists some key outcomes that result from the journey of Indigenizing curriculum, which I would like us to keep in mind as we do this work (p.1):
Learning Objectives
- Insight into own culture and background, privileges, or oppressions that have affected your life and identify biases or gaps in knowledge.
- Question the pervasive dominance of Western epistemologies, pedagogies, and resources within curriculum.
- Make space for including Indigenous ways of being that can benefit all learners.
- Engage in the emotional work of confronting the trauma of colonialization.
- Build stronger relationships with Indigenous people and communities.
- Actively participate in the hands-on work of revising curriculum and pedagogical approaches.
- Reflect upon your own agency in regards to Indigenization and take action toward systemic change in your institution.
