Looking at the Calls to Action by the Canadian Government item 10 and 62, I feel as though Malcolm X’s quote fits in with the changing tides of the new curricula. In article 10, “10 ii. Improving education attainment levels and success rates” we can foster self-identity and the search for passion among learning by implementing and following through with student first lessons. By allowing students to contribute more within the classroom, we can hopefully impact the harder to reach students and allow them to both find their place within the classroom but more importantly succeed. Allowing students to work at a pace that suits them within a classroom that accommodates all types of learners will ensure that they are not left behind. Within article 62, we as educators are able to take Canada’s wrongdoings of the past and use them to educators and inform the students for the future. As Malcolm X said, “Education is the passport to the future…” And to better prepare for the future, we must first understand and educate ourselves regarding the past. To provide safety and celebration of Indigenous students within the classroom we must first understand why the government has employed the Truth and Reconciliation Act. By catering to the students, opening up channels of communication, and ensuring a classroom is a safe place for students and families alike. Because, when a family as a whole feels safe and welcomed within the classroom, all necessary supports can be given to each student, better preparing them for their next steps in education. We are able to implement this new curriculum, through resources such as the Secwepemc First Voices website that allows us to explore and implement the use of Secwepemctsin within the classroom. By bringing in Indigenous language students are able to better immerse themselves within the culture, and hopefully will remove barriers and biases from within the classroom. Within the BC Curriculum, there is the BC First Nations Land, Title, and Governance resource for teachers to allow them to educate themselves so that they can bring forward an educated and unbiased perspective to teach students. Before we are able to accurately teach our students we as educators must be open to learning and understanding. The final resource that would be phenomenal for both students in intermediate grades, as well as teachers, is provided by the Legacy of Hope Foundation (Where Are the Children). The website provides a documentary DVD depicting the lasting effects of residential schools as well as provides teacher bundles of books, DVDs, and resources to bring the subject of residential schools into the classroom in a safe and grade controlled way. The website also has an expansive book list that allows us to further the conversation. This would be an excellent tool to open the lines of communication in a grade-specific and friendly way.
