  • Case Study of an Indigenous Teacher's Writing Instruction
    i CASE STUDY OF AN INDIGENOUS TEACHER’S WRITING INSTRUCTION: TENSIONS AND NEGOTIATIONS AMONG WESTERN DISCOURSES OF WRITING AND 8 WAYS ABORIGINAL PRINCIPLES by Denise Hudspith Heppner A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Department of Curriculum, Teaching and Learning Ontario Institute for Studies in Education University of Toronto © Copyright by Denise Hudspith Heppner, 2020 ii Case Study of an Indigenous Teacher’s Writing Instruction: Tensions and Negotiations Among Western Discourses of Writing and 8 Ways Aboriginal Principles Doctor of Philosophy 2020 Denise Hudspith Heppner Department of Curriculum, Teaching and Learning University of Toronto Abstract This research investigated an Indigenous teacher’s pedagogy in a rural First Nation school in order to gain insight into culturally responsive writing instruction. Pre-service and in-service educators have identified significant challenges in the teaching of writing, feeling unprepared and/or lacking confidence to teach this essential skill. Additionally, many teachers feel uncomfortable and/or ill-equipped to incorporate Indigenous content and perspectives into their classrooms. Resulting from generations of on-going colonial oppression, educational disparities in literacy development have been identified between Indigenous and non-Indigenous students. Along with a focus on traditional language and cultural revitalization, Indigenous families in Canada have advocated education for their children in the dominant literacy practices of schooling. With a growing Indigenous population, educators are seeking ways to respectfully and successfully integrate cultural perspectives, content, and traditional ways of knowing/learning into their classrooms. This study addressed the paucity of research on writing development in Canada conducted within rural areas and with Indigenous Peoples.

  • Four Directions First Nations, Métis and Inuit Graduation Coach Approach Dryden High School
    Four Directions First Nations, Métis and Inuit Graduation Coach Approach Dryden High School March 2018 Researcher: Sean Lessard, PhD University of Alberta Nurturing Capacity Founding Sponsor Preface Nurturing Capacity: Building Community Success Indspire supports communities to improve educational outcomes through the documentation and evaluation of their innovative practices. This community-led process is supported by an Indspire-funded Indigenous scholar, who works with programs on the ground to provide training on data collection and evaluation methodology. For more info, please contact [email protected] | 1.855.463.7747 x230 Abstract Four Directions First Nations, Métis and Inuit Graduation Coach Approach (“Four Directions Approach”) is a system that provides intensive support to Indigenous students and their families with the goal of seeing each student through to graduation and transition into their desired post-secondary programs. The core of the Four Directions Approach is to develop a network of committed leaders to support Indigenous learners and strive to facilitate their successful graduation. An integral part of the Four Directions approach is to provide students with a Four Directions Graduation Coach (FDGC) that has deeply rooted experiential ties to the Indigenous community(ies) and their culture(s). The FDGC acts as a mentor and an advisor to the students and plays an essential role as an advocate for each learner with teachers, other school staff and families. It is the overall goal of the Four Directions Approach to support students of First Nations, Métis and Inuit heritage through: 1) Strengthening the knowledge and skills of educators; 2) Establishing trusting relationships with students, their families and the community; 3) Identifying and removing barriers to student success; and 4) Identification of beneficial strategies, milestones and indicators to support graduation and successful transition into post-secondary pathways.
