First Peoples Principles of Learning
The First Peoples Principles of Learning have been a large part of my Bachelor of Education journey during my lesson planning, unit planning, and practicum. During planning I am always able to find multiple principles to incorporate into my lessons whether they are Indigenously inspired or not, which may speak to my overall teaching philosophies. However, I think it is important to reflect on the fact that these principles are not something to be used to check off a box and say we have incorporated Indigenous content into our curriculum, rather they must be expanded on and discussed in class. It is such a rich resource that I hope to continually use in my practice. I will leave off by stating that “Learning takes time and patience” and as I am on this journey and trying to find my teaching style and content that creates rich learning experiences for students in my future classroom it will take time.
