THE EVOLUTION OF WORK and EDUCATION

CAREERS ARE CHANGING 

HOW WE EDUCATE STUDENTS IS CHANGING 

Our MINDSET of what we are training students for is undergoing a paradigm shift.

This is not new thinking.  

The pandemic in 2020 has changed how we do things and has us reflecting on how we best educate students for the future.  

What will the new future look like?

Where are we headed and how?

This article has a great graphic called "The Evolution of the Employee".  

It is important we look at this as  teachers and educators at all levels of the system. 

We must discuss what the graph is teaching us and reflect in how it is impacting our education system.

Plus we need to think about  how we personally should change our best practice for the education systems of today and tomorrow. 

How is this influencing our career goals?

INDIGENOUS EDUCATION RESOURCE

This is a wonderful resource: 

A Sacred Journey: A Guide to Understanding and Supporting Aboriginal Students 

My TELL students at the Continuing Teacher Education Centre, Faculty of Education, Brock University, are studying cultures and languages of the students in our schools.  

I have found  these Links at the University of Saskatchewan's Library to support them with their FNMI research.

Check them out!!!
