The purpose of the Our Way is a Valid Way courses on the ARPDC Moodle site is to provide educators an opportunity to engage in professional learning in an online environment as part of a professional learning plan which is based on the Provincial First Nations, Métis, and Inuit Professional Learning Strategy.
The Our Way is a Valid Way resource was created by the Western and Northern Protocol (WNCP): “This resource is intended to enhance all teachers’ understanding of the diverse FNMI traditions, values, and attitudes, and of the historical and contemporary realities of FNMI peoples in western and northern Canada. It is only through the increased awareness, understanding, and appreciation of the rich and long-lasting history, culture, and contributions of FNMI peoples that teachers can design learning experiences for all students that contribute to their analysis, understanding, and appreciation of FNMI issues and challenges within Canada’s political, socio-economic, linguistic, and cultural realities.
