Indigenous Initiatives Design Series (“II-Design Series”): 

A three-part workshop series is for anyone who is interested in integrating Indigenous content and ways of knowing into a course or learning project they are developing. The series has been intentionally designed to span 3 required workshops, where participants have the opportunity to reflect on their learnings in between sessions and adapt the learning to fit their own context. 

The goal of the series is to create space for instructors and members of the UBC teaching and learning community who come to Indigenous topics with different levels of knowledge and expertise to: share practices; redesign elements of their teaching and learning projects and resources; model and explore educational materials; and apply classroom climate principles to everyday learning design situations. 

 

Audience and Previous Experience: 

This workshop series is suitable for members of the UBC teaching and learning community who: 

• have some familiarity, knowledge and experience designing and delivering their own courses and are interested in integrating Indigenous perspectives and topics in their courses; 

• have previously attended Classroom Climate series workshops or have attended other workshops offered by Indigenous Initiatives; and/or 

• have other knowledge and experience working with Indigenous communities or Indigenous pedagogies.
