Staff and students demonstrate commitment to Truth and Reconciliation by learning about the impacts of colonization, collaborating with First Nation, Métis, and Inuit community and partners, and utilizing holistic approaches to student success. By engaging staff, students, and families in deepening their learning about residential schools, Treaties, as well as the ongoing contributions of Indigenous knowledge, culture, and perspective, DCDSB prioritizes Indigenous Education across the system. By learning as action for social change, educators are guided by Ontario curriculum and three foundational documents:
Indigenous Student Success: Improve well-being and achievement for First Nation, Métis, and Inuit students |
|
Truth and Reconciliation: Demonstrate growing commitment board wide to Truth and Reconciliation |
|
Cultural Teaching and Learning: Advance ‘Indigenous Education for All’ through providing authentic learning opportunities for students and explicit connections to curriculum |
