Fall 2017 Series

Exploring Indigenous Perspectives in Teaching Practice and Learning Design

A three-part workshop series designed for anyone who is interested in integrating Indigenous content into a course they are developing. Participants are strongly encouraged to register for the entire series.

Exploring Indigenous Perspectives in Teaching Practice and Learning Design builds off of aspects of the day-long workshop Integrating Indigenous Content into your Course Design. This series offers participants the opportunity to dig into aspects of course design, share practice and approaches, and test resources that can be brought into the learning environment. Participants are encouraged to sign up for the entire series as each session builds off the previous one, and the series is a space to build connections and test out ideas in a supportive peer-to-peer environment.

October 3rd (9AM-12PM, PART 1: Motivation and Context

Registration Deadline: September 19th at 4:30pm **extended to September 26th**

In this workshop, participants will consider your own motivations and interests for integrating Indigenous perspectives and topics in your course, aspects of your teaching contexts that may either support or challenge your efforts, and strategies for setting goals and mobilizing support. Through interactive, blended learning activities and peer-to-peer discussion, we will also explore introductory learning resources that may help provide background for introducing Indigenous topics related to your course content. Previous participants in "Integrating Indigenous Content Into Your Course Design" are welcome to register. Please complete your pre-survey to confirm your registration by September 26th.

Other workshops in this series:

Part 2: Positionality and Place, November 14th (9AM-12PM)

Fall 2018 Series

Indigenous Initiatives Design Series ("II-Design Series")

A three-part workshop series is for anyone who is interested in integrating Indigenous content into a course or learning project they are developing. The series has been intentionally designed to span 3 months, where participants have the opportunity to reflect on their learnings in between sessions and adapt the learning to fit their own context. To register, participants are asked to commit for the entire series.

The goal of the series is to create space for instructors and members of the UBC teaching and learning community who come to Indigenous topics with different levels of knowledge and expertise to: share practices; redesign elements of their teaching and learning projects and resources; model and explore educational materials; and apply classroom climate principles to everyday learning design situations.

Completion of the full series requires approximately 15 hours total time commitment, including attendance and participation in two half-day workshops, one full-day workshop, and homework/preparation.

3 in-person workshops, totaling 12 hours face-to-face time commitment
2-3 hours required preparation, homework and blended-learning activities

Motivation and Context: In this workshop, participants will consider your own motivations and interests for integrating Indigenous perspectives and topics in your course, aspects of your teaching contexts that may either support or challenge your efforts, and strategies for setting goals and mobilizing support. Through interactive, blended learning activities and peer-to-peer discussion, we will also explore introductory learning resources that may help provide background for introducing Indigenous topics related to your course content.
