Commitment to Students and Student Learning

"Members are dedicated in their care and commitment to students. They treat students equitably and with respect and are sensitive to factors that influence individual student learning. Members facilitate the development of students as contributing citizens of Canadian society." (Ontario College of Teachers, 2018).
As a future educator, I would like to engage my learners by building upon their prior knowledge, and reflecting their personal interests and cultures whenever possible in my lessons.
The video above details the meaning, history behind, and cultural significance of an Inuksuk. While an Inuksuk is a commonly-seen symbol, the significance of this item to Inuit peoples is not as well known. This video could be used to build upon students' prior knowledge or awareness of Inuksuit, and connect this to the Inuit culture. This video also teaches students how to build their own Inuksuk, which could be a fun and engaging activity for children to demonstrate their new knowledge.
To be a contributing citizen of Canadian society, it is important to learn about and understand the history Canada and its indigenous peoples. This resource will provide teachers and students with a more informed understanding of Inuksuks and Inuit culture in Canada.
For Inuit students, this video and activity, if shown in the classroom, could demonstrate a commitment to cultural inclusion, as well as an interest in and respect of their culture.
