 Empowering the spirit is a collection of resources to increase awareness and understanding of First Nations, Métis, and Inuit histories, perspectives, and ways of knowing. This website provides guidance and support for your professional learning and practice in three areas, foundational knowledge, experiential learning, professional learning resources, and shares additional resources that support other perspectives and knowledge building. How do you begin? The three top-level webpages provide core and support resources that build your professional competencies. Foundational knowledge requires understandings of concepts, terms, and knowledge. It shifts thinking and attitudes and advances reconciliation. Eight themes are essential to fostering deeper understandings of and respect for First Nations, Métis, and Inuit histories. Experiential learning highlights the learning experiences of all students with activities that accurately reflect and demonstrate the strength and diversity of the Indigenous people. These activities provide educators and students with opportunities to increase intercultural understanding and be catalysts for social change. Professional learning resources support implementation of the First Nations, Métis, and Inuit competency for the three draft professional practice standard documents for, Alberta teachers, school leaders, system authority leaders. Support resources on the professional learning resources webpage inform your professional practice and ten webpages highlight different areas and aspects of implementation. Powering the spirit builds educator capacity to support the diverse needs of all students in schools and, specifically, First Nations, Métis, and Inuit students.
