There was much dialogue and sharing of ideas to support certificated teachers on their learning journey to meet the First Nations, Métis and Inuit Foundational Knowledge. The group was very excited to see the Professional Learning Pebbles resource. It is a collection of 24 short activities created by the ATA Walking Together Project.
