Pulling Together: A Guide for Indigenization of Post-Secondary Institutions
This is a set of professional learning guides that are a result of a collaboration between BCcampus, the Ministry of Post-Secondary Education and Future Skills, and a Steering Committee of Indigenous education leaders. The content in these guides is authored by teams of Indigenous and ally writers from across B.C. These guides are a foundation for institutions to adapt and modify to their unique partnerships and relationships with Indigenous Peoples and communities.
B.C. Post-Secondary Digital Learning Strategy
The purpose of the Digital Learning Strategy is to support flexible, high-quality learning opportunities that are relevant and responsive to all members of post-secondary communities, including First Nations-mandated and other Indigenous-led institutes. It offers numerous resources, including the B.C. Post-Secondary Ethical Educational Technology Toolkit, which offers guiding questions, resources, and tools for educators, administrators, and staff in B.C. post-secondary institutions related to the use of Educational Technologies and outlines key considerations on a variety of topics, including Indigenous Intellectual Property, Information Governance, and Data Sovereignty. Other resources include the Guidelines for Technology-Enhanced Learning, and the B.C. Post-Secondary Digital Literacy Framework.
Indigenous Leading Practices in Post-Secondary Education
These examples were collected by the Ministry and the B.C. Indigenous Post-Secondary Coordinators in public post-secondary institutions, with input from the Indigenous Leadership of Post-Secondary Education institutions in B.C., Indigenous Post-Secondary Education and Training Partners, First Nations Education Steering Committee and Indigenous Adult and Higher Learning Association.
Guidelines are for anyone, Indigenous or non-Indigenous, who requires the assistance of Elders for a project or event.
Indigenous Peoples Language Guide
The Indigenous Peoples Language Guide, which was created in partnership with the First Nations House of Learning at UBC, provides information on how to navigate the terminology and meanings associated with Indigenous peoples in order to produce the best — and most respectful — communication results.
