The Centre for Indigenous Professional Learning has collaborated with Elders, Knowledge Keepers, and early years professionals to create meaningful learning series that support the Indigenous ways of knowing and being in the early years’ sector. Each learning series assists in ensuring thoughtful, safe, and positive environments of learning and care for children and families accessing early years services. See the descriptions below to find out more details about each learning series/register.
Knowledge Exchange Gatherings
The Centre for Indigenous Professional Learning is extending an invitation to Indigenous early years professionals to view our previously recorded Knowledge Exchange Gatherings. Elders, Knowledge Keepers, and educators share their knowledge regarding various topics with a connection to How Does Learning Happen, Ontario’s Pedagogy for the Early Years.
Rooting our Paths
Rooting Our Path invites early years professionals on a journey of engaging in self-reflective practice as co-constructors of learning with children. This learning series is intended for the exploration of the concept of the “invisible backpack” we all carry that affects what we notice, the meaning we make, and how we respond.
Participants will gain access to the content for 4 weeks after registering.
