Talk about the elementary curriculum I created for the NACA elementary teachers and how it's helped them continue indigenous science in their classrooms. Talks about connections to themselves, to land, to plants, to water, to animals, and how to utilize our senses (hear, sight, touch, taste, smell, and how you feel in your heart). Goes over all the different ways to incorporate the outdoors but hands on learning but can also be flexible and adaptable to fit science needs.
Updated session description (4/14) - This session will focus on showing teachers how they can co-learn with the land using their senses and understanding how social emotional learning can be beneficial to classroom/ outdoor classroom environments to increase curiosity and understanding of the world around them.
Or: “In this session, participants will explore the elementary curriculum Victoria created while at NACA Elementary and how it has helped teachers facilitate Indigenous Science learning in their classrooms. This session will include time practicing making connections to self, land, plants, water, and animals as well as how to utilize our senses (hearing, sight, touch, taste, smell, and how you feel in your heart). Additionally, participants will learn different methods for incorporating the outdoors and hands on learning through an exploration of being flexible and adaptable to fit specific classroom and school science needs.”
