When learning math, I often struggled but not enough to get the help that I needed. I was someone who understood enough to not be seen as someone who is struggling, but I wasn’t succeeding and therefore didn’t receive the help I needed. I felt like I was stuck right in the middle when itContinue reading “Mathematics”

I grew up in a small town, so for a long time I had an extremely biased point of view because that’s how living in a small town can sometimes be. However, once I moved into Regina, I had my eyes opened to the truth of people, rather than racism and lies about other people.Continue reading “Biases and Single Stories”

When discussing education, citizen education was not something I would have thought of in all honesty. I remember being told how important Pythagoras Theorem would be and how difficult it would be if I didn’t understand the math, or if I wasn’t able to write an essay on Romeo and Juliet. The importance of citizenshipContinue reading “Citizenship”

In my opinion, the purpose of teaching Treaty Ed or any First Nations, Metis, and Inuit content and perspectives is to bring awareness to the issues that we see in our society today.

Since this is the case, it is easy to see how important it is for these age groups to be able to connect to the cultural dimensions. This wayContinue reading “Learning from Place”

While reading Kumashiro, the definition of being a “good” student is outlined throughout. While there is no TRUE definition of being a good student, society thinks that school is able to produce the same type of student with whoever walks through the door. The article proves this to be true through the students N andContinue reading “What makes the “Good” student?”

For my paper, I decided to choose the topic of Gender and Curriculum. My interest sparked knowing that gender inequity is still prevalent in our society, so I wanted to understand how it was prevalent in the curriculum, knowing full well that I am also the one teaching it. I wanted to understand how IContinue reading “Gender and the Curriculum”

I personally have experienced the Tyler rationale through my own schooling by the way in which my teachers would educate us. Obviously, they had their curriculum goals in which they had to get us to, but they all took us in different ways. By the end of what they had taught us, evaluation then tookContinue reading “Are we limited?”
