Indigenous Education
Indigenous Education
Indigenous education is a core commitment in our work. We believe that Indigenous perspectives and knowledge systems can make us all better learners and leaders.
The Aboriginal Enhancement Schools Network (AESN) was formed in 2009 “to create an inquiry community where people learn and work together to ensure that every Indigenous learner crosses the stage with dignity, purpose and options, and together we eliminate racism in schools.” For ten years, AESN operated as a branch of the Networks of Inquiry and Innovation (NOII). Today the networks are combined under the umbrella of the Networks of Inquiry and Indigenous Education (NOIIE).

First Peoples Principles of Learning
We are indebted to the First Nations Education Steering Committee (FNESC) for promoting the First Peoples Principles of Learning. These nine principles remind leaders and learners to become more familiar with the power of story and relationship, the impacts of identity and place, and the connections of our to work our individual and collective wellbeing.

Inquiry teams should always bear in mind the importance of reaching out to the knowledge keepers or holder in their local communities, and to integrating the wisdom teachings that are rooted in their territory.
