Brock University researchers have launched a program for teachers and educators who provide academic and cultural support to students in which the culture and language of the Anishnawbek First Nations people is interwoven with mainstream Canadian approaches to education. Courses and content are “culturally responsive” to Indigenous communities in a number of ways.
The aim of the program is to encourage culturally responsive teaching practices and development among these educators that will ultimately enhance the self- and cultural image of the students they teach.
