What is Education for Truth and Reconciliation?

(Source: Beginning the Journey Webinar with Lisa Howell. Offered in collaboration with LEARN. Sept. 17, 2021)

Education for Truth and Reconciliation involves working with First Nation, Métis, and Inuit to help rebalance the education system and ensure that Indigenous knowledge, worldviews, cultures, and histories are included and valued in schools. It is not only recognizing the past, but also the present and future contributions of Indigenous Peoples. It is not only what we teach, but how we teach. It is a holistic and lifelong learning approach that benefits ALL learners, both Indigenous and non-Indigenous.

LEARN works with schools, communities, and organizations throughout Quebec to promote and value Indigenous knowledges worldviews, cultures, and histories in all subject areas.

We aim to:

Support the development of Professional Competency 15 (Click to learn more about Competency 15)
Promote pedagogical practices that benefit and include all students
Create opportunities for individuals to foster mutually beneficial relationships
Collaborate to offer professional learning opportunities and curate resources
