e-Learning Overview
Creating Safer Spaces: Indigenous Learning invites CALP staff to reflect on how Indigenous and Western ways of knowing, learning, and communicating shape our relationships with learners and communities. Developed by Kelly Schram and Georgina Supernault, this e-learning draws on their experiences working together and with community to explore what it means to create safer, more inclusive learning environments.
Through this e-learning, you will deepen your understanding of Indigenous perspectives and practical ways to apply them within CALP programs. You’ll learn to:
- Recognize differences and connections between Indigenous and Western models of learning and communication
- Build relationships that honour community, culture, and identity
- Follow appropriate protocols when engaging Elders and communities
- Apply Indigenous Learning Principles in adult foundational learning contexts
- Reflect on holistic approaches to learning through the Medicine Wheel teachings
By the end of this e-learning, you’ll have greater awareness and practical strategies to support safer, more culturally responsive learning spaces where all learners feel respected and included.
