Explore how to develop a reflective pedagogy and practice in early childhood education that respectfully incorporates Indigenous worldviews. 

The newly revised BC Early Learning Framework urges Early Childhood Educators to "engage Indigenous voices and perspectives in pathways for learning.” What does this look like in a system that is still trying to unravel the detrimental effects of residential school and colonization? Learning about the historical aspects of colonization and sharing how this experience has affected us all differently seems like a good place to start.    
 
Early Childhood Educators are invited to join this interactive workshop with an open mind and heart to reflect on the continual influences of colonization and share how this has affected them personally and professionally. We will explore how educators can develop pedagogy and practices that are post-developmental, situated in land-based knowledges and incorporate Indigenous worldviews in culturally respectful ways, as well as, appropriate steps to take when connecting with local Indigenous community members.

Lunch will be provided.
