Fond du Lac

About

The materials below were designed for faculty to help learners become more reflective and skilled professional early childhood educators. They reflect indigenous pedagogy that focuses on collective learning, educating, and well-being that does not separate who we are from where we are, our history, and all that surrounds us. 

All the materials are free for you to use in your adult learning environments and can be downloaded below. 

We bring you these materials from our collective work as indigenous and settler educators, content experts, and learners, and from the families, classrooms, and land we inhabit and the histories we have lived as children, caregivers, and kin. You will see words translated into Ojibwemowin/Anishinaabemowin where we felt it was appropriate and not simply appropriation. Many of the videos used were collected in American Indian and Alaska Native classrooms, and all the design elements reflect a combination of Fond du Lac Tribal and Community College and EarlyEdU aesthetics and meaning. 

We are grateful for the Fond du Lac Tribal and Community College faculty and learners sharing their knowledge and for partnering with us at the EarlyEdU Alliance to realize the vision of these materials: learning activities reflective of Indigenous pedagogy and the competency-based educator development model.
