UCalgary Werklund School of Education launches resource-sharing website for K-12 teachers

The University of Calgary’s Werklund School of Education has created a new website that offers resources meant to help K-12 teachers combat racism against Indigenous peoples and include Indigenous perspectives in their classrooms. The website offers lesson plans and podcast episodes and showcases researchers’ work on implementing anti-Indigenous racism curricula into the classroom. UCalgary Researcher Dr Patricia Danyluk said that many teachers are worried about making mistakes when they incorporate Indigenous perspectives into their classrooms, and that the website’s resources aim to help support these teachers. “We’re trying to actually do something with our research, [not just] publishing articles and doing conferences and all those things, but creating something that teachers can actually participate in and be part of and use in their classrooms,” said Danyluk.
