Participants will investigate the Standard Model of Indigenous Learning (SMIL) and Two-Eyed Seeing as Indigenous perspectives on learning. We will apply these perspectives to common approaches to reading education that unintentionally perpetuate colonial practices. Participants will consider innovations in their particular reading practices to disrupt colonialism.
