[Extract] In 2008, the Yukon First Nation Education Advisory Committee proposed several goals and priorities for education in the Yukon. Central priorities included the development of curriculum and resources that integrate into curricula, First Nations content, perspectives, values, knowledge and ways of teaching and learning. This resource provides teachers with the support for providing learning experiences that allow for learning to be grounded in the heritage of northern students including culturally preferred learning styles rather than just learning about their heritage.
