Join us for this online course to explore the history and legacies of Canada’s Residential Schools. This course will include facilitated asynchronous and synchronous learning that will equip you with knowledge, resources, strategies and experiences to humanize and connect this learning to students in the classroom.
You will experience an inspiring approach to engaging young people in a supported and transformative learning journey that invites not only academic learning, but also emotional connection, ethical consideration and questions of civic engagement. Together, we will explore the historical and institutional contexts that created a dehumanizing and assimilatory system of schooling, and bear witness to the testimonies of survivors. We will explore the legacies and responses to the Residential Schools, including the apologies given by government and churches, the work of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission and the work of the Indigenous communities to reclaim educational sovereignty. We will use all these elements to help students connect this history to their own lives and the choices they make individually, and those we can make collectively for justice and reconciliation.
