A Visit from Mouse Woman: Media Education in Masset by Kym Stewart — last modified 2008-02-18 09:51

Kym Stewart visits Masset: After months of planning and preparation, my media-education research finally began at Tahayghen Elementary school in Masset, Haida Gwaii. I decided that I would continue with the work on ‘advertising’ that I had begun in a Burnaby elementary classroom. As I gathered my materials on Sunday night, I was both excited and anxious to bring the lessons that I had developed to new students. While I felt comfortable teaching these very-familiar advertising lessons, I was extremely uncomfortable with their lack of Haida content as well as my role, as a non-Haida, in the development and implementation of culturally inclusive materials.

Bringing it all Together: LUCID Conference 2006 by tmcalder — last modified 2006-11-17 09:23

On July 8-10 teachers, leaders, researchers and supporters of the LUCID research project from all districts were able to reconnect at a quaint cannery in Port Edwards. This conference marked the midterm point of the LUCID project and provided an opportunity to share ideas and inspiration that would carry us towards additional imaginative, cultural inclusion practices for our students. Like many of our meetings together, this conference created another opportunity to support risk taking in the classroom as we seek to continue the questioning of the normative practices and to engage the students in a deeper manner.

An Adventure Through Time in Chilliwack by Tannis Calder — last modified 2008-02-18 10:01

Last Monday I had a wonderful opportunity to speak with some students in Chilliwack at Bernard Elementary who were eager to share their story about what they saw as an unusual experience last year in their grade five classroom. They were the students of Grace Jones, a teacher who has been a part of the LUCID project since it’s inception in 2003. I was eager to see how culturally-inclusive imaginative development was being put into practice.

IMAGINATION in EDUCATION: Aboriginal communities, school districts, and SFU in partnership by Christine Hearn — last modified 2008-02-18 13:01

A $1 million five-year grant to Fettes from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council's Community-University Research Alliances (CURA) ... will allow Fettes and his team to work with the Sto:lo, Haida, and Tsimshian communities and with school districts in Chilliwack, the Queen Charlotte Islands, and Prince Rupert to see how the concepts of imaginative learning developed at SFU can help schools engage all children in learning. Only 42 percent of 18-year-old B.C. aboriginal students complete high school compared to 79 percent of other students. Fettes wants to address that problem. (Nov. 2004)
