OSSTF Comes Out with Aboriginal Curriculum Materials


Embracing First Nations, Metis and Inuit culture in the classroom.

The Ontario Secondary School Teacher's Federation has developed a new curriculum resource that focuses on the history, culture and issues facing Aboriginals.

It's called  "Full Circle: First Nations, Métis and Inuit Ways of Knowing".

Director of Education with the Keewatin-Patricia District School Board Jack McMaster says it's a great thing for Northwestern Ontario, where there is a large First Nation population in area schools.

The curriculum consists of more then 60 lesson plans.
