Through the publication and guide, teachers and students will explore their rights and responsibilities for living a good life.  \nTeachers may also access the publications and guides from previous years:•  Listening to Survivors (2023)  \n•  Remembering the Children (2022)  \n• Truth and Reconciliation Week 2021  \n•  Every Child Matters (2020)  \nTeaching students about Canada’s historical and contemporary treatment of First Nations, Inuit, and Métis Peoples is crucial and meaningful work. Content should be delivered in age-appropriate ways and with care. Conversations will need to consider the legacy of the ongoing harms of the Indian Residential School System and the child welfare system in Canada. It will also be imperative for educators to review the Final Report findings from the National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation and the National Inquiry into Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls and ensure they are teaching Canada’s history and ongoing colonialism in safe and action-based ways. We must balance honesty with hope, assuring students that new laws and attitudes will prevent something like Residential Schools from happening again. We all have an active role to play in reconciliation.  \nMany First Nations, Inuit, and Métis organizations have outlined how educators can do this work in meaningful ways. The National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation and their annual Truth and Reconciliation Week provide resources and learning opportunities for people of all ages. The First Nations Child & Family Caring Society (Caring Society) host youth-led campaigns and events like Shannen’s Dream, Jordan’s Principle, I am a Witness, and Have a Heart Day. The Caring Society outlines ways that everyone can take action alongside Spirit Bear with resources specifically made for educators. Finally, the Orange Shirt Society provides resources for learning about the Indian Residential School System and for commemorating the children who died and the Survivors who experienced loss or trauma.  \nThese resources are an excellent first step to ensuring your lessons are taught in ageappropriate and ethical ways. Ethical teaching practices also consider ethical spaces. Ethical spaces can be made in your classroom by co-creating a class guideline of engagement at the beginning of the year. This discussion is about accountability, responsibilities, respect, kindness, equity, and how to take care of each other and the spaces you share. It may also consider the capacity of students for big topics in Canada’s history (like discussing the Indian Residential School System as an example) and ensuring that Indigenous students and their guardians and families know when such subjects are upcoming so students can create a plan to take care of themselves in holistic ways. To learn more about creating ethical spaces and how to create your own with your students, look towards Dr. Willie Ermine, Dr. Dwayne Donald, and Dr. Marie Battiste’s work. Not only do our students get to learn every day, but so do we!  \nAs a key consideration, it is deeply important to teach Canada’s ongoing colonialism in child-focused, trauma-informed, and et","cbCainaSvNXeFPrn","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCainaSvNXeFPrn","pdf",1790647,"English","# Residential Schools and the Rights of Children\n## Having Your Voices Heard: Participating in Matters that Directly Concern You!\n## Promises of Reconciliation: Exploring the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s Bentwood Box\n# Appendix I: The United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child\n# Appendix II: The United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples\n# Appendix III: Social Media Campaign Template\n# Appendix IV: Bentwood Box Items","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of the Educator’s Guide for Truth and Reconciliation 2024?\",\"answer\":\"The guide helps teachers and students explore rights and responsibilities for living a good life while learning about Canada’s historical and contemporary treatment of First Nations, Inuit, and Métis peoples in age-appropriate, ethical ways.\"},{\"question\":\"How should educators approach difficult topics such as Residential Schools?\",\"answer\":\"Educators are encouraged to teach in child-focused, trauma-informed, and ethical ways, ensuring conversations are safe, action-based, and supported by relevant guidance and resources.\"},{\"question\":\"Who can educators collaborate with to improve reconciliation teaching?\",\"answer\":\"Educators are advised to work with Indigenous education teams at their school boards and to use resources from organizations involved in Truth and Reconciliation Week and Indigenous-led youth campaigns.\"}]","Educator’s Guide - Truth and Reconciliation 2024 | PDF",1789138461]
