The FNESC/FNSA Indian Residential Schools and Reconciliation Teacher Resource Guides were developed in response to the call by the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada for education bodies to develop age-appropriate educational materials about Indian Residential Schools.
Indian Residential Skills and Reconciliation Teacher Resource Guides for Gr. 11/12 (2015) uses an inquiry approach to provide students in a number of grade 11 and 12 courses with an understanding of the history of the relationship between Indigenous and non-Indigenous people over Canada’s history. Although it focuses on grades 11 and 12, the guide can be applied to post-secondary education.
The resource is constructed so that it can be used as a complete unit of study, but is built on components that can be adapted into your own curriculum organization. It is important to note that the guide is separated into Book 1 and Book 2, which are designed to go together. Book 1 includes background information, planning for instruction, resource overview, and blackline masters. Book 2 includes the documentary evidence necessary for the instructional activities outlined in Book 1.
