Saskatchewan Education defines actualization as "effective
implementation and ongoing renewal". In the case of Aboriginal
content and perspectives, actualization implies many things:
- that the intentions of
Aboriginal content and perspectives in curricula be understood by
all teachers and administrators
- that Aboriginal content and
perspectives be seen as having a legitimate and rightful place in
curricula for all students
- that quality in the delivery
of Aboriginal content and perspectives be achieved
- that efforts to implement
Aboriginal content and perspectives be continually renewed, and
new ways found of making authentic connections in school programs.
In keeping with this philosophy, I
have tried to incorporate some aspect of Aboriginal peoples content
into my chemistry course. |

Day 2:
Students are to recognize that molecules are made up of exact ratios
of elements. This is true of many things we find around us,
including the Red River cart. The cart must be composed of an axle,
two wheels, and a box. From this we derive a formula for a Red River
cart. This usage of the Red River cart opens the opportunity to
inject a side discussion about the origin of the Red River cart and
have students learn a little about Métis heritage. Included is an
audio clip from Lyle Donald, a Métis story teller. |
