Perhaps more than ever, place matters. We’re fortunate to call Teejop home. Yet few educational opportunities intentionally foster our personal relationships with this exceptional place. And fewer still help us understand the relationships and responsibilities that Indigenous peoples––especially the Ho-Chunk––have had here since time immemorial. Through an orientation of “land as first teacher,” Indigenous Education calls on us to carefully listen to our place. What do we still have to learn from Teejop? And, by centering Indigeneity in teaching and learning, how can we prioritize the restoration of right relations for our shared future?
The last 30 minutes of each session will offer a post-session small group discussion. Join your colleagues for a post-session reflection and facilitated discussion of the presentation. There will be an opportunity in smaller breakout groups to reflect on how topics addressed might influence instructional practices as well as conversation about how to translate into teaching and learning.
