Re-Storying education focuses on integrating Indigenous narratives and perspectives into the curriculum of our current education system. By dismantling old narratives and using story to create new narratives, this approach emphasizes the importance of using a critical lens, truth telling, and stories as methods for teaching and learning. By recognizing the value of Indigenous knowledge and teacher practice in how we can reimagine education, Carolyn aims to create a more inclusive and culturally relevant curriculum that honors Indigenous people, histories and knowledge.
Re-Storying promotes a deeper understanding among all students and seeks to empower Indigenous voices within educational spaces by fostering a deeper connection to the land, the people of the land, and the true shared history of this place known as Canada today. Join her as she speaks to how we can create spaces for Indigenous voices to flourish in the education system today.
