The Faculty of Education at the University of Prince Edward Island has openings for sessional instructors to teach the following course in summer 2019.

ED-4490 Introduction to Indigenous Education

This course is anchored in community-based learning. Students experience Indigenous ceremonies and teachings, which, in turn, foster a mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual understanding of the Indigenous worldview and ways of knowing. This course also introduces Canada's history of cultural assimilation unjustly imposed upon Indigenous peoples in Canada.

This is a one semester-hour course offered on campus to students in the Bachelor of Education program.  Three sections of this course are offered as follows:
• Section 97 is offered June 28 to July 12 on Fridays from 11:30am to 2:20pm
