HEQCO publishes guide on recognizing Indigenous Knowledges in the classroom

Higher Education Quality Council of Ontario (HEQCO) has published a new resource to help postsecondary instructors recognize Indigenous Knowledges in the classroom and encourage critical thinking. The Indigenous Knowledge Implementation Packsack: A Handbook for Embedding Indigenous Ways of Knowing in Your Teaching addresses instructors’ anxieties about working in an Indigenous Knowledge Environment and answers common questions. The handbook is supplemented by four visual guides that instructors can use to navigate this process: The First Way – Wholistic Teaching and Learning, The Second Way – Communicating Through Story, The Third Way – Strong Relational Thinking, and The Fourth Way – Practicing Humility.
