EDEL 465 - Assmnt as pemôsihta (An Invitation to Feel): kistehtakosewin (Honouring Childrn): Indig&Rltnl Apprch

This course is designed to support students who are seeking spaces to rethink assessment from Indigenous, narrative, and relational perspectives. The course explores Anishinaabe and Nehiway concepts that connect with ways of knowing, being, doing, and relating with children to support their life-long journey of pimatisiwin (walking in a good way, living a good life). These teachings open potential for assessment making that supports children's life-long identity making and wellbeing. Grounded in relational ways of attending to experience, and scholarship and personal and local knowledge focused on children's making of their lives in family, community, and school places, in relation with land and more-than-human beings and realms, the course builds into an exploration of the interconnections among experience, story, knowledge, and holism and children's ongoing curriculum making, identity making, and assessment making. Prerequisite: Consent of the Faculty.

EDEL 466 - Interdisciplinary, Intergenerational, & Intercultural Inquiry With Children, Families, & Communities

This course brings teachers' experiential knowledge of interdisciplinary, intergenerational, and intercultural inquiry alongside the knowledge of Indigenous Elders, Knowledge and Language Keepers, and community members, and LANDS/place, children, families, teachers, curriculum developers, and scholars. Through these relationships and reflexive inquiry, the course shapes openings for teachers to grow understandings of pedagogies that deepen interdisciplinary, intergenerational, and intercultural inquiry alongside children, families, and communities. Prerequisite: Consent of the Faculty.
