Part 1:
Part 2:
Positive

Negative
|
Helps to
talk about citizenship
|
Time
limitation
|
Wonderful
thing => placed in a language of a dominant culture => see concepts in
Indigenous language (Patranomen - live
life ina good way/Cree)
|
WHat other
ways can we honor the languages from this land? More powerful if we saw
indigenous languages represented in the document
|
Support to
classroom
|
Require
teachers to swift their thinking => inquiry => swift in teaching =>
to be effective, change mindset
|
Consist of
amazing ideas
|
Words are
hard to understand, not accessible
|
Good start
|
Swift away
from citizenship education
|
Essential
|
Wasn’t
until provincial gov. Turned treaties into curriculum => set of concepts
will only be accepted once it reaches the curriculum
|
Important
|
Letting
kids ask questions
|
Education
priorities set => conservative effort to achieve specific goals =>
reading levels, math levels, graduation rates => advanced in strategic way
=> this document must become a part of curriculum
|
|
Expectations
Met
|
Hasn’t Met
|
not taught
about just one vision of truth
|
attention
to local people and context
|
Most
citizens are being educated in demorcy country
|
schooling
as more than job training
|
In our
schools were taught about where we live a democracy but also informed of
other types of power. We have more than one perspective being presented
|
being
taught how to be a critical thinker (somewhat met?)
|
The
“normal” education system that students faced( lack of creativity)
|
Still
mostly a vision that is eurocentric
|
We accept
people’s differing perspectives and opinions
|
accurate
standardization (very narrow curriculum)
|
our
curriculum includes more than strictly math & literacy
|
He talked
about the one perspective, but we are assessed by one method and one
perspective in school.
|
Professional
citizen education( respect to others, review what you had learned,etc)
|
Deprofessionalization
=> standardize for basic skills
|
Standardized
the curriculum
|
|
teaching us
to engage as a citizenship at a participatory & personal responsibility
level
|
teachers
not being respected professionally; too much demand on testing
|
arm chair
activists
|
Obsession with
measurements => but Grade ‘inflation’ in some schools => how do we know
these tests are accurate
|
start to
only care about skills we can measure
|
|
Be creative
and obsessed into the critical thinking
|
|
Involve
more focus on arts
|
|
Provide
food for students/gum chewing
|
|
teaching us
to be social justice oriented citizens
|
|
Few
programs that address social justice issues => root causes of problems
=> only study movements
|
|
A study of
a link between a nation’s economy and how students do well
|
|
connect
what you learn in school to the outside world
