With the increased inclusion of First Peoples’ content in the BC curriculum, there is greater need to incorporate unappropriated First Peoples’ perspectives into classrooms.

The First Nations Education Steering Committee and the First Nations Schools Association, in collaboration with teachers and partners, have developed the following Learning First Peoples teacher resources to support English Language Arts, Science Social Studies and Mathematics courses.

The resources reflect the First Peoples Principles of Learning as well as the Calls to Action of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, including the call to “integrate Indigenous Knowledge and teaching methods into classrooms” and “build student capacity for intercultural understanding, empathy and mutual respect.”

FNESC and FNSA host annual workshops to support teachers and other staff with the Learning First Peoples. Please see the Events Calendar for upcoming opportunities.
