Event Description
Registration Link: Eventbrite
Join Dr. Yvonne Breckenridge from the University of Alberta on Feb 7 to explore anti-racist and Indigenous pedagogies in EAL. Empower future educators to confront colonialism in their teaching.
This presentation discusses the difference between indigenous content and indigenous pedagogy from a settler perspective and the intersection of the TRC with anti-racist pedagogical practices. Although teachers acknowledge that they need to "indigenize" their classrooms, teachers are often given information, but not necessarily the ways of knowing that should accompany indigenous knowledge. This presentation focuses on how to encourage teachers to consider not only what they teach, but how they teach in order to decolonize their classroom.
Speaker Bio:
Dr. Yvonne Breckenridge has taught English language learners from pre-school to graduate school for almost 30 years in a variety of educational settings. She is currently an associate lecturer at the University of Alberta. In addition to her experience as a teacher educator in Canada she has taught in-service and pre-service teachers from Japan, South Korea, Mexico and Germany. Her research is grounded in critical theory, anti-racism, narrative inquiry, and action research with a specific focus on English for academic purposes, task-based language teaching, professional development, and identity. She has also hugged a panda.
