Initial Thinking

Hello Cohort Colleagues. I am working on narrowing down my project for this year. I am putting out my thinking thus far, and encourage your feedback.

What I am thinking about :

“How might community responsive PD impact a staff’s sense of persistence, resilience and self-efficacy towards engaging students within FNMI learning?”

or

” How might community responsive PD impact teacher’s sense of self-efficacy, persistence and sustainability towards engaging students in FNMI learning?”

Theoretical Frameworks I would use to examine this inquiry: Indigenous informed leadership lens (leading through and with community)

How to measure impact: Triangulation – measuring what staff indicate already knowing, what is most challenging, what they want to still know/do/go with their learning, where it has landed (based upon what they perceive still wanting to learn more about)

  1. Qualitative Data: focus groups, informal conversations, photos of work already in place in classrooms/curriculum/content
  2. Quantitative Data: Survey/Likert scales pre-during, post and if possible post-retrospective

I encourage all and any feedback and appreciate your thinking.
