“Aansaamb aen kiskayhtaamuk – Learning Together”

In this session, we will provide a brief foundational overview of who the Métis are and why it is important to include Métis content, teachings, and pedagogy in early childhood education. We will introduce the Métis core values related to learning. Through these values, we will address the concept of cultural safety and provide tips on how to create a culturally safe learning environment that supports the well-being of all children. Information on how to use these cultural resources will be provided. This includes a description of the resources and suggested opportunities for learning and investigation. The suggestions offered have been created to align with the B.C. Early Learning Framework. To end our time together and extend the learning beyond this workshop – we will discuss how early learning professionals can collaborate with Métis communities.

SUITABLE FOR ALL EARLY LEARNING AND CHILD CARE PROFESSIONALS
