Community of Practice
A community of practice (CoP) involves a group of people (community) with a shared concern, problem, or interest (domain) working together to fulfil individual and group goals (practice).
The Teaching and Learning Centre facilitates a CoP on the topic of Indigenization, decolonization, and reconciliation.
The broad goals of the CoP are to:
- Generate ideas, seek feedback, and share stories about Indigenizing and decolonizing content, instructional approaches, and interactions;
- Identify, develop, or experiment with strategies and resources that support Indigenous students and/or the inclusion of Indigenous pedagogies and content for all students;
- And most importantly, to develop a collaborative, supportive, and flexible group interested in Indigenization and decolonization.
The CoP meets monthly and stays connected in an online course site. Please contact Dr. Lidya Salim for more information.
Upcoming topics:
- Inviting guest speakers
- Using Indigenous and decolonizing pedagogies
- Including Indigenous-authored sources in your course
- Inviting emotional connection to material
- STEM and Indigenous Knowledge
