LEARNING GOALS

Understand Indigenous ways of being, knowing, and doing. 

Showcase the diversity of First Nations, Metis, and Inuit across what is Now Known as Canada so that students understand that Indigenous Peoples are not one homogenous group.

The interconnectedness of all living things, which includes the land, water, sky, and everything in creation. Ideas of interconnectedness as reflected in art, language and stories. 

Contemporize Indigenous knowledges and understandings and make them an important part of everyone’s life.

Raise cultural awareness and break stereotypes, especially the “vanishing race” stereotype that was the foundation of the collection of Indigenous Ancestors, Artistic and Cultural Belongings held at ROM.

Learning at ROM

An Indigenous woman with long, dark hair and glasses stands by a museum case filled with belongings showing beadwork, quillwork, and other artistic traditions.

What makes these lessons unique is that they are taught by trained Indigenous Museum Educators with diverse areas of specialization, who develop individual lesson plans around set learning goals. 

This allows them the flexibility and adaptability to meet student interests and follow where their curiosity leads, respond to class needs and ever-changing conditions in the dynamic environment of a busy museum, and incorporate the latest teachings,  studies, pedagogies, and technologies. 

We also understand the value of learning from the real thing whenever possible, not relying exclusively on models and copies. Even in gallery lessons, educators take every opportunity to let your students engage in hands-on learning with something real that has its own history and stories to tell. 

These tested approaches to learning mean that you may never get the same lesson twice, but they will always be engaging, interactive, and memorable.
