Indigenous Numeracy Connections

Indigenous Connections

Both The Teaching and Leadership Quality Standards indicate that educators must apply and support foundational knowledge about First Nations, Métis and Inuit ways of knowing and doing. We must create learning opportunities that weave together Indigenous ways of knowing with Western pedagogical practices for the benefit of all students and our collective journey toward reconciliation.

"Effective education that includes Indigenous knowledge systems does not exclude or discredit other cultures, but ensures that both non-Indigenous students and Indigenous students alike are given the opportunity to see Indigenous perspectives, and the strengths and gifts of the First Peoples reflected in the schools they attend."
