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. Restricted to fourth year Education students or with permission of the instructor.
