What's the question?

When something feels off but you can't quite name it — describe what you're noticing. PedagogAI reads your class data and helps you find the real question worth investigating before you act.

What are you noticing or wondering about?

"When you can't articulate the problem, you need to find the question."

🪶 First Peoples Principles of Learning

Articulated by Indigenous Elders, scholars and knowledge keepers. Developed by the First Nations Education Steering Committee (FNESC) to guide BC curriculum and teaching. These principles underpin BC's redesigned curriculum and apply to all learners.

🌿

Principle 1

Learning ultimately supports the well-being of the self, the family, the community, the land, the spirits, and the ancestors.

🔄

Principle 2

Learning is holistic, reflexive, reflective, experiential, and relational — focused on connectedness, on reciprocal relationships, and a sense of place.

🌀

Principle 3

Learning involves recognizing the consequences of one's actions.

👨‍👩‍👧

Principle 4

Learning involves generational roles and responsibilities.

📚

Principle 5

Learning recognizes the role of Indigenous Knowledge.

🗣️

Principle 6

Learning is embedded in memory, history, and story.

⏳

Principle 7

Learning involves patience and time.

🪞

Principle 8

Learning requires exploration of one's identity.

🔒

Principle 9

Learning involves recognizing that some knowledge is sacred and only shared with permission and/or in certain situations.

🕊️ TRC Calls to Action — Education (62–65)

The Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada made 94 Calls to Action in 2015 to redress the legacy of residential schools and advance reconciliation. Calls 62–65 relate directly to education. As of 2024, none of the education-related calls have been fully implemented.

Call to Action 62 — Mandatory Curriculum

We call upon the federal, provincial, and territorial governments, in consultation and collaboration with Survivors, Aboriginal peoples, and educators, to:

Make age-appropriate curriculum on residential schools, Treaties, and Aboriginal peoples' historical and contemporary contributions to Canada a mandatory education requirement for Kindergarten to Grade Twelve
Provide funding to post-secondary institutions to educate teachers on how to integrate Indigenous knowledge and teaching methods into classrooms
Provide funding to Aboriginal schools to utilize Indigenous knowledge and teaching methods in classrooms
Establish senior-level positions in government dedicated to Aboriginal content in education

Call to Action 63 — Curriculum & Resources

We call upon the Council of Ministers of Education, Canada to maintain an annual commitment to Aboriginal education issues, including:

Developing and implementing K–12 curriculum and learning resources on Aboriginal peoples in Canadian history, and the history and legacy of residential schools
Sharing information and best practices on teaching curriculum related to residential schools and Aboriginal history
Building student capacity for intercultural understanding, empathy, and mutual respect
Identifying teacher-training needs relating to the above

Call to Action 64 — Religious Education

We call upon all levels of government that provide public funds to denominational schools to require such schools to provide an education on comparative religious studies, which must include a segment on Aboriginal spiritual beliefs and practices developed in collaboration with Aboriginal Elders.

Call to Action 65 — Research Program

We call upon the federal government, through the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council, and in collaboration with Aboriginal peoples, post-secondary institutions and educators, and the National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation and its partner institutions, to establish a national research program with multi-year funding to advance understanding of reconciliation.
