Week 10 – ECS 210 Blog Post

Written by ikg276@uregina.caon March 22, 2019

In my elementary school and high school the student body, teachers and staff were primarily white. We also read books that were mostly centered on white characters and their experiences. I think that this lack in diversity in the school and the books that we read gave me a view on the world that wasn’t

In math classes in school I remember them only being taught one way. The classes only really benefitted people who thought in a certain way which made it very difficult for me. I was okay at math but it would take me a lot longer to understand certain units and often I had to ask

The two types of citizenship education that were the main focus in my K-12 schooling were the Personally Responsible Citizen and the Participatory Citizen. I think that these two types of citizenship education were used because they are the easiest to implement in a classroom setting. These types are also easiest to teach because they

I think that teaching treaty Ed and FNIM content is very important even when there are few to no students who are Indigenous in the classroom. I think it’s important to learn about the history of treaties in Canada, as well as the history of Indigenous peoples. Indigenous teachings are not only valuable to Indigenous

Learning From Place This post is based off the article Learning From Place. Reinhabitation is present in the narrative through the river and the group trip involving the river.

Before: I think school curricula are developed by education professionals, combined with government employees. I think that these individuals get together and discuss what information should be learned by students for each subject and grade level. I think it is a joint effort to create the curriculum and it rests on the shoulders of a

A “good” student is someone who sits quietly in class, does exactly what they are told and completes assignments the exact way the teacher told them to. The problem with this idea of a “good” student is that this is only a representation of a certain type of individual. Not all students are able to

“One test of the correctness of educational procedure is the happiness of the child” – Maria Montessori What does this quote make possible? It allows for the focus of education to be put on the happiness and experience of the child. Instead of an education that focuses on the input of facts into the child’s

I have experienced the Tyler rationale in my own learning in elementary school. I was in the top of the class and I have most subjects to be fairly easy. However, because of this I noticed that a lot of time at school I was told to just read a book or visit with a

Kumashiro explains that “common sense often makes it easy to continue teaching and learning in ways that allow the oppression already in play to continue to play out unchallenged in our schools and society” (XXXVI). Kumashiro is describing how common sense works to perpetuate old ideas and ways of teaching and learning that is rooted
