• is based on Pacific teaching methodologies and

methods

Research Fund Quality Evaluation: Panel- Specific Guidelines, p.85.]

“We are understood to be part of the greater family of things”

Indigenising Tertiary Teaching

There is evidence of teaching that reflects any or all of the following:

• is based on Indigenous teaching methodologies and

methods

• involves Indigenous-centred subject matter
• impacts on Indigenous communities.

Teaching

…is a form of service …honors the rights of Indigenous peoples … is reconciliation, responding to Calls to Action

Why “This is about a transformation away from research being done on Indigenous peoples, and for Indigenous peoples, to research being done with Indigenous peoples in meaningful ways, and research being done by Indigenous peoples. The latter requires the training of Indigenous researchers”

(Prof Rod McCormick, BC Innovation Chair in Indigenous Family Health, TRU).

What: Outcomes framework

By 2022: Proportion of Indigenous faculty at TRU is on par with the regional Indigenous demographic (13%) By 2024: Proportion of faculty who are Secwepemc is on par with the Secwepemc regional demographic By 2022: 100 undergraduate Knowledge Makers, with at least one published research article each. By 2024: 50 Masters Knowledge Makers, graduated, with at least two published research articles. By 2026: 20 doctoral Indigenous Knowledge Makers, graduated, with at least four published research articles.

Promising practices in collaborative teaching One teach, many observe

One educator has primary responsibility while others gather specific observational information on students.

One teach, many assist

An extension of One-Teach, Many-Observe. One educator has primary responsibility. Others assist students with their tasks and learning.

33

Promising practices in collaborative teaching

Same but different teaching

Each educator instructs a number of the students on a shared topic. The educators address the same learning material using different teaching approaches.

35

Promising practices in collaborative teaching Supplemental teaching

Students work at one layer of understanding while other educators work with those students who need information extended or ‘unpacked’.

36

Promising practices in collaborative teaching Team teaching in the circle

Using a team teaching strategy, all educators are actively involved in learning time. For the students there is no clear leader, as all educators share the instruction.

Student voices

The research we are planning to conduct is amazing. The environment here is so different from other university environments. We have a lot to teach the world. There are so many opportunities for indigenous research. It’s amazing to think that even when you get a small group together the ripple effect is enormous. For us to sit here today it feel so very powerful I feel connected to past generations who were not able to see what we have become. I feel we need to make our lives count for everyone. I feel like our future is in good hands. Sitting here and talking about [research] makes me feel good about the future. I am beginning to feel like I do belong. I got started. That is often the hardest thing.

“I realized a long time ago every human being is the same – we all develop our mind, our body, our spiritual self…It is okay to be different. It is okay to think differently, to believe differently, and to be The Real Me, and to not hide The Real Me. Keep going.”
