My understanding of citizenship is being productive, responsible, and diligent members apart of a bigger society. Taking that incentive to do the greater good and further civilization and increasing the socioeconomic status within their city/state/country. To be an open-minded, welcoming, caring individual that treats everybody with respect and kindness regardless of religion, gender, disability, or culture. To me, that is my understanding of citizenship
In terms of Treaty Education and how it can be applied to citizenship. Well, the Indigenous ways of knowing have already taught us so much valuable things which we should live by and respect. The whole idea of Treaty Education is the idea of valuing our land, our people, and the world in a loving and caring way. It is also about the preservation and sustainability of our land and our people. Being a good citizen means not wasting water, turning off lights when you leave a room, etc. The same principles are valued in Treaty Education as well. The idea of ensuring that not only our generation lives a fair/healthy lifestyle but for future generations to come as well. We only have one earth and we as a society need to ensure that our citizens are educated and mindful to ensure economic stability and prosperity for years to come.
I really enjoyed reading your understanding of citizenship. I appreciated your following quote: “To be an open-minded, welcoming, caring individual that treats everybody with respect and kindness regardless of religion, gender, disability, or culture.” This struck out to me because as an aspiring teacher, I plan on promoting an inclusive classroom with the support of this method.
Now, a question that I would like to end off with includes the following: What are your methods of promoting an inclusive classroom? How will you fit the needs of students regardless of religion, gender, disability, or culture?
