THEME
Currently BC schools are required to integrate an aboriginal worldview into all lessons. Knowledge of this worldview is emerging among most teachers. In addition, Christian teachers will have questions about ways of doing this that complement the Biblical values that are the foundations of our schools. In this Professional day, both these concerns will be addressed. Come prepared to both understand the Aboriginal worldview more precisely and to learn how to integrate it into classroom learning in ways that reinforce Biblical truth.
