Supporting Educational Self Governance - Aboriginal Literacy and Pedagogical Considerations

Filed under: News — june @ 10:20 pm

The Aboriginal peoples of North America had their own systems of formal education prior to Colonization - systems which were highly successful. Self Governance in education requires the development and implementation of sustainable educational systems under the full control and jurisdiction of aboriginal people based on the recognition of inherent hereditary and treaty rights, and under international law. To make Self Governance in Education a reality, several processes need to be put into place, including sustainable funding, the preparation of aboriginal educational leaders, and the development of educational systems that meet the needs of each community. This dialogue will be focused on the development of these processes.

The best conversations are always in a relaxed cafe environment. Grab a coffee, enter the Community Online Meeting Room, sit back, relax, and participate in this online informal discussion.

This dialogue space is intended to provide a space where news, updates, conferences, research, best practices and ideas related to the First Nations’ ways of knowing, understanding, learning, and engaging with the world and how these can be applied in education. The foundational viewpoint adopted here is one that supports the evolution towards educational Self Governance.
