The First Peoples Principles of Learning

The FPPL are not a set of lesson or unit plans. This can be a challenge for educators who seek a quick or easy way to integrate them into our schools and classrooms. Many educators who are interested in including more First Peoples’ content into their schools and classrooms, or who would like the FPPL reflected in their classrooms might hope to encounter a detailed list of criteria and specific content to match up with grades and/or subject areas. This request is understandable; however, it would actually contradict one of the foundations of the FPPL, which is that context is paramount. Instead, a deep understanding of the FPPL is first necessary, and this understanding can then be used to guide educators’ choices about what is important to learn, and what kinds of learning experiences to create for, and with, learners in the contexts the learners and educators are in. This will vary from place to place, and community of learners to community of learners. Jo-Anne L. Chrona, 2014.
