Cult Competency in Teaching
This course explores traditional and contemporary aspects of First Nations, Métis and
Inuit (FNMI) education in order to attend fully to the Truth and Reconciliation
Commission's Calls to Action. Cultural competency in infusing FNMI worldview,
resources, presence and pedagogy into Ontario’s K-12 school curriculum is critical to
this course. Appreciating the diversity of the 630 First Nation communities that
represent 50 distinct Indigenous languages in Canada and dispelling many of the
stereotypes/myths associated with FNMI peoples is also key to the foundations of this
course. The values, knowledge and tools acquired in this course are necessary for
equity-based teaching success in Ontario elementary and secondary schools.
