Highlights From the Board Room Board Meeting | Tuesday, November 28, 2017 Presentations Indigenous Education Superintendent of Learning Dave Golden provided an overview of Indigenous Education initiatives taking place this school year in TLDSB. He introduced Indigenous Education Consultant Holly Groome, and Muskoka Falls Public School teacher Renee Nawrocki to share a “Wampum Journey.” Grade 4/5 students in Nawrocki’s classroom were asked to create a visual classroom contract that described a commitment to be good people in their school and in the community. Teaching and learning take place as part of the development of a contract, planning a wampum geometric pattern, and the actual creation of the wampum. Students learn to understand how a wampum was used as a neumonic device by Indigenous peoples. Trustees saw writing and audio samples of student stories sharing the symbols and colours that they chose, as well as the emotions students were trying to evoke in their individual wampum creations. The project has been extremely successful and there are plans for repetition in classrooms across the district.
