Re-Storying Education cover

A powerful, engaging resource for educators to extend their learning and approach education with a new story through a critical lens.

A local Indigenous education consultant named Carolyn Roberts is writing the book Re-Storying Education. She primarily works with teacher education programs in B.C. but her work has much broader applicability than that, and really the book reads as an incisive critique of the colonial education system we use in Western countries and especially Canada, with reflection and discussion questions for educators, and concrete tips on how to decolonise the classroom. It's a book that would be valuable for any educator, certainly in this country, at the elementary, secondary, and postsecondary levels. It's not a book on how to teach Indigenous content but rather how to decolonize the way you teach. It could include a chapter or two about decolonising the school structure too; e.g., not just classroom techniques but maybe also our sense of time in schools and so on. Ontario has just made Indigenous education mandatory for graduation, and 95% of the people teaching Indigenous content in Canadian schools are non-Indigenous, so she's going to add a chapter about how to do that effectively too.
