Re: [Canadaoer] Seeking Connections -- Open Indigenous OER Projects

Hi Krysta, We have been collecting open resources for our K-12 district on this very topic all year in anticipation of the new Teacher Quality Standards (TQS), curriculum changes and support for reconciliation Could you give me some more information on the timing and what you were thinking? Will we need people to attend an event? Is this an opportunity to collect current open resources? It sounds exciting - and very relevant - but we need to know a little more information if possible? I can also send the information to other K-12 schools districts, so any additional info is appreciated. Verena 😊 ________________________________ From: albertaoer(a)googlegroups.com &lt;albertaoer(a)googlegroups.com&gt; on behalf of Krysta McNutt &lt;krystam(a)ualberta.ca&gt; Sent: Wednesday, May 16, 2018 4:13:21 PM To: canadaoer; Alberta OER Community of Practice; cc-openedu(a)googlegroups.com Subject: Seeking Connections -- Open Indigenous OER Projects *cross-posted* Hi Everyone, We have a new project at the University of Alberta where we are sourcing free/open resources which intersects with indigenizing education in K-12 (social studies). I'm hoping to recruit some other open educators to share their experience with the project team (instructor, doctoral student, librarians, and me). Faculty of Education, Elementary Education EDEL 335 Curriculum and Pedagogy in Elementary School Social Studies Project Lead: Sharla Peltier This project will conduct critical review of existing First Nation Metis and Inuit education materials in Alberta relevant to teaching Social Studies to identify and/or customize OER for teaching of pre-service teachers and/or classroom use by social studies elementary teachers and faculty with appropriate Indigenous contexts in response to recent revisions to Teaching Quality Standard #5: Applying Foundational Knowledge about First Nations, Metis and Inuit.
