Current Work
Currently working on a developing Cree language resources to support the delivery of Cree 10 in the local high school. Cree 10 has never been offered before.
In addition have a Cree resource Facebook group where information is shared about the Cree language.
Goals
- To develop units and lesson plans that align with the Cree Language & Culture POS.
- To develop resources needed to support this.
- Develop technology to support the Cree program.
- Devlop print materials to support the Cree program.
- Develop assessment materials that reflect Indigenous intellengence.
Challenge
A challenge is to play catch up and develop what is needed because these resources are not readily available. Teaching Cree 10 was last minute.
