Description

Indigenous Infusion for Educational Leaders

The Indigenous Infusion for Educational Leaders is a professional development program open to faculty, staff, and administrators at academic institutions. It facilitates an educational journey through an Indigenous lens.

In this course, learners are introduced to Indigenous education as a framework for holistic and lifelong learning, as practiced by Indigenous ceremonialists, knowledge carriers, scholars, and community members. Elements of Indigenous philosophy are examined within the context of a participatory and experiential knowledge system, along with the principles and processes essential to understanding and engaging with Indigenous ways of knowing and being in North America.

The program aims to support learners in developing, enhancing, or expanding Indigenous education and engagement efforts on their respective campuses, both now and for generations to come.

Experiential Learning Components

The program includes a range of experiential learning and teaching activities that enable learners to gain a deeper understanding of Indigenous ways of knowing and being, and to reflect on and apply this knowledge. Activities include:

A visit to the Woodland Cultural Centre to engage with the local Indigenous community, Six Nations of the Grand River.
Participation in the Kairos Blanket Exercise, an experiential workshop exploring the historical and contemporary relationship between Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples in Canada.
Indigenous guest speakers who provide distinct perspectives and enrich learning through insights into Indigenous traditions, contemporary challenges, and cultural knowledge.

Through interactive lectures, panel discussions, and hands-on experiences, the program supports learners in advancing Indigenous education and engagement initiatives on their campuses.

Upon successful completion of the training, learners will receive a Certificate of Participation.
