members a chance to come together to build on their knowledge and understanding
of Aboriginal peoples’ diverse cultural perspectives through the use of children’s
books, adult literature and culturally relevant online resources. Members engaged in
this welcoming online learning environment will be able to infuse their learning
into their classroom practice. The book club is structured as four weekly online
sessions, approximately two hours in length and feature small group sizes.
Participants are expected to log in for an hour or two each week, read postings and
engage in online threaded discussions, share ideas and make professional
connections to the content. Registration is limited to 20 participants and is on a firstcome, first-served basis.

Perspectives and the Truth and Reconciliation
November 1-29, 2016 (Registration Deadline: October 14)
This book club is for all members who are interested in learning about
the diversity of Aboriginal peoples, perspectives, the residential
school system and reconciliation. In session one and two, members
will have an opportunity to explore the concepts of the role that
cultural values play on shaping an individual. In session three and
four, members will examine the impacts of the residential school
system and explore concepts of reconciliation and what that looks
like for educators. Children’s and adult literature as well as relevant
online resources are included in this welcoming online learning
environment that is aimed to engage members in critical thinking,
rich dialogue and personal reflection and professional connection.
