Hello. My name is Miranda Dysart. I am a first year teacher and I would like to incorporate indigenous teaching in my classroom. How can I get a set like this? Are there anymore materials that can be recommended for the early years and a middle years classroom?
Thank you for your time.
Hi Miranda – The contact information for Tina Wellman is included in the post. And there’s quite a bit of material listed here at Cree Literacy Network , go to the “hamburger” menu at the top, and look under “Resources.”
How can I get hold of these resources
Phone or email following the instructions included in the post.
