Video addressed to teachers from the First Peoples’ storytelling (FPPSE) project
March 23rd, 2021
鈥溾�s a teacher, I think you don鈥檛 have the sole responsibility of teaching a curriculum, you have the responsibility of being acquainted with your student, and knowing their strengths as well as the emotional pitfalls or whatever struggles that they鈥檙e going through. Because if you don鈥檛, then you鈥檙e not reaching them. It just takes a bit of your time, compassion and understanding.鈥�
鈥淢y first year I never went to see my teachers. I was too shy, I never had that role before. I never had to ask an adult for help for something so serious like school. After a year, I realized that teachers are nice. And I can actually go ask them questions.鈥�
鈥淵our language and how you speak, it鈥檚 the simplest things in the world that could really affect a person鈥檚 educational outcome so it鈥檚 really important that our identities are considered.鈥�
