Première Nation/ Math, sciences et phys.20et30 (2eme cycle)

Thursday February 6, 2025 10:15am - 11:15am MST

ECC - Salon 13/14

Apprenez comment incorporer le concept de la première nation au secondaire dans les classes de maths et sciences. Vous allez apprendre: • Comment le concept de la première nation peut-être appliquer dans votre leçon que ça soit dans l’introduction, travail en groupe ou la conclusion. • Des suggestions pour trouver des idées et accès aux ressources que j’ai préparées • Avoir accès au Padlet, ressources pour diffèrent niveau et matière où les RAS sont énoncés avec l’enchainement de l’activité. Ces expériences ne nécessitent pas l'utilisation d'équipement coûteux et ne nécessitent pas nécessairement d'impliquer des procédures complexes. L'objectif de cette séance est de fournir aux enseignants des idées pour plus de 20 activites et expériences de laboratoire couvrant maths et sciences du 2e cycle de secondaire et surtout la physique 20 et 30, afin d'amener les participants à engager une discussion sur les attentes du programme concernant ces expériences et sur la manière dont la première nation avait son point de vue. Ces activites améliore l'apprentissage des élèves et motive les élèves à faire une réflexion.

La langue du Michif

Thursday February 6, 2025 2:00pm - 3:00pm MST

ECC - Salon 13/14

Michif is a mixed language, derived mainly from Cree and French. This workshop is an educational approach that allows teachers to integrate Métis languages, knowledge and perspectives into their teaching. This workshop is intended for teachers who wish to develop and apply basic knowledge about First Peoples for the benefit of all students (EQS 5), but who have difficulty navigating the range of resources available. By exploring the web resources of the Michif Awakening Kit, participants will discover the mechanisms of this language, but above all they will see how the use of Michif educational resources can make it possible to achieve a multitude of learning outcomes in the program (in French, arts, social studies, science, well-being), while working towards reconciliation. Specifically, teachers will explore the various resources available on the website. On the practical side, participants will work to adapt the available resources to their needs, in line with recommended good practices for making authentic and respectful use of the knowledge shared by Elders. Participants will leave the workshop with access to multiple lesson plans and corresponding resources.
