The SFU Faculty of Education is committed to collaborative work with diverse Indigenous communities and organizations as well as with individual students and educators in a range of rural and urban locations. Our Indigenous focus is inclusive of Aboriginal peoples in Canada (First Nations, Metis, Inuit) as well as Indigenous peoples from other countries. Our vision emphasizes:
• collaboration and equal partnerships with a diversity of Indigenous communities and organizations,
• equitable representation of Indigenous people in enrollments across programs,
• integration of Indigenous content and perspectives across the curriculum,
• equitable representation of Indigenous people on faculty and staff, support and encouragement of Indigenous research and
scholarship,
• integration of Indigenous awareness and local protocol as part of all faculty and staff orientation,
• requirement of anti-racism, multicultural and Indigenous pedagogical approaches as a part of all teacher certification.
