Aboriginal Worldviews and Perspectives in the Classroom: Moving Forward

The inspiration for this project was to support and build upon a regional dialogue that would leadto further strategies and clear commitments from all educators as we work to serve each learner,families, and communities. With a spirit of collaboration, a commitment to transformation, and an"If not here, where?" mindset, we approached Director Ted Cadwallader of the British Columbia Ministry of Education to share our School District 85 (Vancouver Island North) aspirations. Shortly thereafter, the vision and partnership was expanded to include four other school districts to host focus sessions on Aboriginal Worldviews and Perspectives in the Classroom.
