Lesson Plans, Podcasts and Discussion Prompts for Teachers Weaving Indigenous Knowledges into the Classroom

Two years after the implementation of the Teaching Quality Standard number five (TQS 5), ten Alberta teacher education programs came together to examine how teachers in Alberta were weaving Indigenous knowledges into their classrooms. This article reports on the findings of two hundred and forty-seven surveys and thirty interviews with Alberta teachers. The findings indicate how Alberta teachers are gaining confidence in their foundational knowledge of Indigenous peoples and the important role of Indigenous team leads in schools. The article includes access to a website created from the research featuring lesson plans, podcasts and discussion prompts for teachers weaving Indigenous knowledges into the classroom.
