Province unveils new treaty education support for teachers
Saskatchewan’s teachers are getting a helping hand when it comes to providing Indigenous treaty education in the classroom.
The Ministry of Education and the Office of the Treaty Commissioner unveiled a new kindergarten to Grade Nine treaty education learning resource binder on Friday, which will complement the existing treaty teaching packets already available.
Treaty Commissioner Mary Colbertson said the new resource provides teachers with tips on how to incorporate treaty teachings into the overall curriculum taught every day, complete with lesson plans they can employ.
She said it will help alleviate the burden on already-taxed teachers.
