Decolonization of Curriculum in the Trades

Abstract

This resource seeks to bridge the gap between Western trades education and Indigenous ways of knowing, with a focus on enhancing the cultural competency and understanding of trades professionals. Modules have been created to support the Skills and Trades faculty as they learn how to incorporate Indigenous ways of knowing and traditions in vocational education. This resource will help guide in the development of assignments, and other learning materials. It will aid instructors in the creation of a curriculum that is respectful, collaborative, and culturally sensitive.
