Welcome to Northern Lights Public Schools’ 2019 System-Institute Day. You can use Sched to review the schedule and think about what sessions you would like to attend. While Sched allows you to select sessions, please note that selecting them does not reserve you a seat. All sessions are offered on a first-come, first-served basis so it’s a good idea to select a couple of you might be interested in for each of the three time periods in case your first choice is full.
This workshop introduces some basic First Nations, Métis and Inuit world views, cultural beliefs and values. It is neither a comprehensive nor an exhaustive exploration of Indigenous ways of knowing but, rather, a series of focused conversation starters for groups of educators engaged in reconciliation. World views and ways of knowing are like stones thrown into the water from which other circles grow. Participants will gain an understanding and appreciation of First Nations, Métis and Inuit peoples by learning about diverse, traditional and contemporary experiences unique to them.
