We are pleased to announce the fifth season of Alberta Teacher Talks, an online professional collaboration between Learning Network Educational Services (ARPDC) and The Alberta Teachers Association (ATA).  This year’s topics will explore Professional Learning Pebbles, a foundational collection of 24 short activities created by the Alberta Teachers’ Association Walking Together Project to support certificated teachers on their learning journey to meet the First Nations, Métis and Inuit Foundational Knowledge competency in the Teaching Quality Standard.

Teacher Talks 2017-18 is a 6 part webinar series exploring distinct activities organized through four sequenced approaches (Awareness, Acknowledgement, Atonement, Action) conversation starters for groups of educators engaged in Truth and Reconciliation education. Through these short, interactive activities, educators will localize the process and create effective initiatives that best fit their local context.

Learning from Australia’s Education Reform- Like Canada, Australia is involved in ongoing reconciliation processes to deal with its colonial history.  Through examining an education case study from Australian school community, participants will examine parallels between the Australian experience and their own school communities.
