A study suggests that while teachers may want to instruct about residential schools and include Indigenous culture in their classrooms, they don’t feel confident enough and are nervous about saying the wrong thing.
Emily Milne, an assistant professor of sociology at MacEwan University in Edmonton, interviewed 100 Indigenous and non-Indigenous parents and teachers in southern Ontario between 2012 and 2014.
Her report, which was published in the International Indigenous Policy Journal, recommends that schools use “Indigenous coaches,” who she says were successfully used as a resource for teachers during a trial summer program at one Ontario school.
“There were educators I met who didn’t know about residential schools. They didn’t know about Indigenous people in Canada, Indigenous culture and heritage and history,” Milne said during an interview.
