Résumé

How educators can respond to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s Calls to ActionEducators have a special role in furthering truth and reconciliation practices in education, but many struggle to understand exactly what that means and how to accomplish it. Reconciliation through education is grounded in the amplification of Indigenous voices as the spark of authentic reconciliatory practices, as well as the understanding that everyone can gain insights through reconciliation practices and relationships.Springing from a master’s certificate program at the University of Calgary called Indigenous Education: A Call to Action, this book explores stories from alumni, program designers, and instructors who have taken a deliberate and active role in responding to the TRC’s Calls to Action through education. Section I contains useful chapters on program design and concepts, while section II presents a collection of inspirational and thought-provoking personal stories and reflections from Indigenous and non-Indigenous educators.This is a resource written by educators for educators wishing to embark on their own journeys of truth and reconciliation in their personal and professional lives. Join the reconciliatory education community in courageously teaching, learning, and acting, just as the educators in this collected volume are doing.
