AllCanadian Geographic has worked collaboratively with a number of Indigenous and ally educators and organizations from across Canada to create the Indigenous Peoples Giant Floor Map (11 metres by 8 metres/35 feet by 26 feet) and accompanying materials. Edmonton Regional Learning Consortium has purchased this interactive and detailed resource that you can borrow! We invite you to attend this session to learn about the scope and range of topics, strategies and resources related to Indigenous peoples that are included in this amazing resource. You will learn how the giant map and related resources will assist you and your students in understanding the past, present and future of Indigenous peoples. To maximize on the use of the resource while it is in your school, we encourage you to attend this session in school teams.
We will begin the session by exploring:
- the range of topics and materials included in the resource;
- pre-map activities you and your students can engage in prior to the giant map arriving at your school;
- connections to Alberta's K - 12 curriculum (multiple disciplines);
- lessons learned from those who have already used the resource in their school;
- details related to borrowing the resource (cost, length of loan period, how resource is shipped, etc.).
With a deeper understanding of the range of topics and materials included in the resource, you will be given time to work in grade level or school teams to create meaningful, authentic plans that are connected to curriculum, and will result in maximized use of the resource during its 'stay' at your school.
Don't miss this exciting and engaging learning opportunity!
