b'Professional Learning Journey The Indigenous Education Team is central to our work around DEI and Anti-Racism. Throughout the 2021-2022 school year, members of LRSDs Leadership Team became students of the Indigenous Education Team. This is in recognition of the important role that leaders play in shifting school and system culture. The Indigenous Education team left divisional leaders with a Learning Bundle focused on decolonizing education. Circle and the Box helped to frame our understanding of privilege, positionality, and power. As one participant reflected, It is harder for you to see your impact on others and your responsibility towards them when you are only looking forward (when in a box). In a circle, your responsibilities and impact are clearer. The Blanket Exercise helped to expose some of the historical truths of colonization. The Mtis Walking Tour shared important aspects of our local history that are often omitted or ignored. Land Acknowledgements challenged us to be purposeful, respectful, and informed when making these statements in our schools and communities. Positioning Ourselves in Colonialism led participants to further unpack the way history plays a role in how our present-day schools and society function. Beyond the learning sessions designed and delivered by the Indigenous Education Team, they also partnered with colleagues in LRSD and outside the division to offer two sessions. An Introduction to Anti-Racism, facilitated by Sarah Gazan and Eric Sagenes from the Manitoba Teachers Society, presented an introduction to anti-racism, its history and contemporary contexts, and the way it impacts staff, students and school communities. During The Ethics of Hospitality through an Anti-Racist Perspective, Chickadee Richard, one of eight members of the LRSD Indigenous Council of Grandmothers and Grandfathers, and Divisional Principals Ron Cadez and Michelle Jean-Paul joined the Indigenous Education Team alongside three students, Gloria, Frances and Isabelle. Together, they challenged participants to consider the ethic of hospitality when decolonizing educational practices. The hope is that the learning designed by the Indigenous Education Team continues to inspire leadership to co-design a collective learning journey alongside staff, students and families. 10'
