First+Nations,+Inuit+and+Metis+Content,+Perspectives+and+Ways+of+Knowing

 In all of Saskatchewan's curricula, outcomes and indicators are being written to make First Nations, Métis, and Inuit ways of knowing, knowledge, and perspectives foundational in what we do. Resources are also being evaluated, recommended, and in some cases created, with a conscious effort to be inclusive and reflect this foundational aspect of teaching and learning. The Broad Areas of Learning for Saskatchewan's curricula also reflect this foundational element.

Please consider posting items you or your school division have created, shared, or found that enhance our cultural responsiveness in education.

This document, adapted by Saskatoon Public Schools, can be used to help staff assess where they are, individually, on a continuum of cross cultural competencies or responsiveness.

This Saskatoon Public Schools presentation was shared with teachers in K-5 at our October professional development session. The goal of the presentation was to build teachers' capacities to incorporate FNIM ways of knowing, perspectives and knoweldge into appropriate and engaging mathematics experiences.

Here you will find a report on cultural responsiveness. This report by Scott Tunison (Saskatoon Public Schools) was commissioned by the Canadian Council of Learning.
