A few more words about this series.

The truth that you know today, will change as you learn. Don't be ashamed of what you don't already know. The majority of Canadians can likely admit that they don't know much, yet.

"As long as you are willing to recognize the truth as you know it today and you continue to learn, you are an ally" Tara's Western University Professor J. Witte

Until we can build a set of free independent learning opportunities for children/teens (age appropriate), we wanted to provide parents & teachers with some helpful resources that allow us all to be more informed. For the purpose of this introduction to Indigenous Education, we hope that you will increase your level of understanding even another 5% than what you currently have today. We are all starting exactly where we are now. The fact that you are even interested in increasing your own understanding shows that you wish to be part of the better future we all deserve to have together.

Until our easy to follow content is built, we hope parents, teachers, aunts, uncles, grandparents etc. all appreciate the abundance of knowledge we can gain from these shared resources, starting with the word Indigenous.

When we eventually build our courses for children to follow, we will cover the following areas (guide/contents below, may change)
Age recommendations: recommended for parents (as a guide for parents to educate their young children or for teens looking to self educate)
On Demand - pre-recorded sessions you can have your child/teen do at their own pace
​
Live on Zoom is exactly that, Tara will offer sessions throughout the year that will be live (if you are interested in this, please put your name on the list to be notified the next time she offers this course live on zoom)

Picture
Tara Cooper was an elementary school teacher for a decade, and she has been a parent and a business owner since 2007. She has never stopped learning and growing as a person. Most recently Tara realized that as news was coming up about residential schools and the unfortunate events that came with this part of our Canadian history, that she really didn't know much about any of it. This was what prompted her to learn for herself as much as she could so that she was no longer in the dark about this devastating part of our history (that wasn't so long ago). She realized that many others were also feeling uncertain and willing to learn more too. When we learn, we can be part of the solution because with more education and understanding we can all decide to make a change.
