Focus: We hoped to shift students’ regulated behaviours (displayed consistently while learning outside) into the indoor classroom environment through connected strategies used both inside and while students were in cross-graded, cross-curriculum learning groups outside.
We focused on developing engaging, hands-on and experiential learning opportunities that were designed to create connections to literacy and numeracy learning and relationships for the students to both school and community
Developing a deeper and broader understanding of number sense from K-6 with a focus on improving numeracy outcomes for Indigenous learners.
To learn how to use the Seasonal Rounds of the Dakelh people to plan instruction
Cultivating safe learning environments for Indigenous learners through exploring Indigenous pedagogies & engaging in community action.
We are learning about cultivating a strong sense of belonging for, and more communication with, the Indigenous community of learners in our online learning school.
Each member of the team chose a specific research-based strategy to try to increase Indigenous learner achievement in literacy, reading, or numeracy.
Students’ interactions with each other and with adult staff members reflected an overall misunderstanding of what it means to be kind, caring and respectful.
On student engagement with the core competencies and goal setting
Focus: To plan our teaching using the Seasonal Rounds calendar of the Dakelh people and make our teaching more interconnected.
Focus: Increasing literacy skills for intermediate-aged Indigenous learners who were two or more years below grade level.
Focus: We hoped that a playful approach for learning would help all our students, but particularly our Indigenous students adopt a more positive mindset and move students from an expressed indifference in learning to engaged learning.
Focus: Developing a deeper and broader understanding of number sense, from K-6, with a focus on improving numeracy outcomes for Indigenous learners.
Focus: To use the MathUp up curriculum and manipulatives to engage below grade level learners in our Math 8 classes
Focus: Will students become more engaged learners when they are able to demonstrate their competencies in a wider variety of ways when using a digital portfolio?
Focus: Supporting change in the school system and at the community level so that Indigenous and other equity-seeking learners can transition from unsafe experiences/environments at school to safe experiences/environments at school.
Focus: To work with our Indigenous communities to provide learning opportunities that reflect our local culture, history, and language.
Focus: Reigniting the spark for learning, where students take ownership of their own learning by engaging in passion projects.
Focus: How does place attachment (knowing place) help promote wellbeing, engagement and over all cognition?
Focus: How the collecting of our own story and the story of others will contribute the development of connections to self, place and others.
