The Ontario Ministry of Education funded the University of Ottawa, The First Nations Child and Family Caring Society, and Project of Heart to create lesson plans to address grade 6, grade 8, and grade 10 curricula. Developed using Project of Heart teaching methodology, an essential element of the process was collaborating with Indian Residential Survivors Jenny Tenasco (Cecilian Jeffrey IRS), Evelyn Korkmaz (St. Anne’s IRS), and Irene Barbeau (Shingwauk IRS).
Where are the Children
“Where are the Children” is an initiative established by the Legacy of Hope Foundation which focuses on educating Canadians about the history and legacy of Indian Residential Schools. Information and very valuable resources have been gathered and can be accessed through their website. The ages in which a lot of the content is intended for is grades 10-12. Using the online textbooks in the “Bookcase” section of the Where are the Children website and downloadable teacher guide you and your group can begin to explore Canada’s hidden history.
