Indigenous Education professional development
The 4 Seasons of Reconciliation: This course is comprised of online modules, and are a direct response to the Calls to Action by the TRC, and it teaches learners about the experiences of Indigenous Peoples living in Canada. Offered in collaboration from the University Library and the GMCTL, this course will help each person to better understand the reasons for reconciliation and the ways in which Canada should move forward to achieve the calls to action. These modules are a great addition to any university course. Connect with us to learn more.
Registration for IT Training sessions including how to use teaching technology like Canvas, Panopto, MS Teams, and Zoom can be found in PAWS on the Training and Development channel.
