Event Date & Time
Event Description
How do we disrupt systemic colonial attitudes in the classroom while integrating Indigenous topics in a way that supports addressing knowledge gaps in a good way?
Classrooms are diverse spaces, comprised of many different lived experiences and knowledges. When introducing Indigenous topics into curricula, building a safer space for Indigenous students often coincides with the need to bridge knowledge gaps alongside non-Indigenous students and instructors.
Join CTLT Indigenous Initiatives facilitators Erin Yun, Hannah Coderre, and Samantha Nock for an in-depth workshop exploring strategies and conversations on addressing the gap.
This interactive virtual workshop will bring materials in from the What I Learned in Class Today Facilitation Guide and Toolkit, launched March 2024 and will include both guided group discussion and smaller breakout groups.
Learning Outcomes:
- Develop an understanding of what a knowledge gap is and the impact they have in
student learning and classroom environment - Learn pedagogical tools to start addressing knowledge gaps in the classroom
Homework:
Before attending, please read Effects of Knowledge Gaps: Indigenous Tokenization and Expectations of Expertise and watch the WILICT Renewed Student Perspectives Film.
Come prepared with your questions, experiences, and own expertise.
Audience:
Everyone part of the Teaching and Learning Community is welcome to join this session. However, this session is geared towards Instructors, Teaching Assistants, and Staff who support Indigenous Initiatives projects and/or Faculty. If you have any questions about participating in this workshop, please reach out to Erin at erin.yun@ubc.ca.
