About this Learning Opportunity

Project-based learning is one way to engage students in deepening their understanding of Indigenous foundational knowledge. This interactive two-day workshop will begin by learning about the essential elements of Project Based Learning (PBL). You will then have the opportunity to apply the key elements of PBL to plan and design your own engaging and rigorous project that will focus on one or more areas of First Nation, Metis and Inuit foundational knowledge, and includes the use of effective formative and summative assessment practices. A First Nations, Metis and Inuit consultant will be available to provide advice, knowledge, and support as you plan your project. You will also have multiple opportunities to receive feedback on your draft plans from participants in the workshop.

By the end of the two days, you will have a complete First Nations, Métis and Inuit (FNMI) project that directly aligns with Alberta Education's current Programs of Study, but also deepens your understanding of Alberta Education's new curriculum.

This session addresses the TQS competency 5. Applying Foundational Knowledge about First Nations, Metis and Inuit

This learning opportunity is being subsidized through funding from Alberta Education.
