    A3: This is a great Q. I am hopeful that new assessment practices give all students (esp. FN) give acknowledgement to cultures. #bcedchat
  • jfprovencher27 Jun 18 @ 10:22 PM EDT
    A3 iI think because the assessment procedures have changed it is more suitable for the Education they are receiving #bcedchat

    Q4: At what age should children start learning about Residential Schools? Which authentic books have you used to teach? #bcedchat
  • brynmw Jun 18 @ 10:26 PM EDT
    The 'lessons' promote rhyming, understanding of common language. For the FN part, we look at FN language/seeing #bcedchat
    In reply to @bradleyrbaker
  • technolandy Jun 18 @ 10:26 PM EDT
    And make it clear that the practice in one region is not necessarily the same in another. Not a one-size-fits-all 'understanding' #bcedchat

    A1. Signage & start assemblies with acknowledgements of traditional territories. We had an elder in last week sharing her story. #bcedchat
