Powwow Times offers Indigenous professional development for teachers, educators, administrators and school staff who want deeper understanding of Indigenous culture, history and reconciliation and greater confidence bringing that learning into schools.
Why Indigenous Professional Development Matters
Educators are increasingly expected to include Indigenous perspectives in classrooms and school communities. Good intentions matter, but educators also need context, lived perspectives and opportunities to ask questions in a respectful learning environment.
A professional development session can help staff move beyond surface-level recognition toward stronger understanding and relationships.
Possible Professional Development Topics
- Indigenous culture, identity and contemporary life
- Residential schools and intergenerational impacts
- Truth and Reconciliation in education
- Treaties and relationships
- Respectful terminology and common misconceptions
- Powwow culture, protocols, music and dance
- Language revitalization and cultural continuity
- Creating meaningful Indigenous learning experiences for students
For Teachers, Administrators and Entire School Divisions
Sessions can be designed for a single school staff, district or division professional development day, leadership team, education conference or larger group of educators. Programming can be tailored around the questions and learning goals of the organization.
Pair Staff Learning With Student Programming
A school or division can also combine educator professional development with student cultural presentations or powwow demonstrations, creating learning opportunities across the whole school community.
