Decolonization is a scary word for some. Join me to learn that the work of decolonization is not about guilt or shame- it is about making education more equitable for Indigenous students and all students. It is not about Western culture being bad, either. It is about including all voices, points of view, and ways of being equally. Educators always say, "Just tell me how to do it." In this session, I will share what to look for, where and how to start, strategies to use, resources for planning, and missteps to avoid when working toward decolonizing education.
