Sulyn Bodnaresko is a Settler, born, raised, and living on traditional and contemporary territories of the Blackfoot, Tsuut’ina, Iyarhe Nakoda, and Métis peoples (Calgary, Alberta).\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eHow educators can respond to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s Calls to Action:\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eEducators have a special role in furthering truth and reconciliation in education, but many struggle to understand exactly what that means and how to accomplish it. There is no step-by-step guide to getting it right. Educators can only meaningfully accomplish truth and reconciliation in education by seeking out truth and reconciliation through education: an ongoing process of amplifying Indigenous voices and experiences, allowing oneself to be changed by them, and being guided by this learning both personally and professionally.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSpringing from an Indigenous education master’s certificate program at the University of Calgary and written from an adult education perspective on transformative learning, this book invites educators, broadly defined, into a conversation about truth and reconciliation through education. Section I contains useful chapters on program design and concepts, while section II presents a collection of inspirational and thought provoking personal reflections from Indigenous and non-Indigenous educators who have taken deliberate, active roles in responding to the TRC’s Calls to Action.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThis is a resource written by educators for educators wishing to embark on their own journeys of truth and reconciliation. Join the reconciliatory education community in courageously teaching, learning, and acting, just as the educators in this collected volume do.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eTable of Contents\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePreface\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAcknowledgements\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIntroduction\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSECTION I: IMAGINING AND SEEDING POSSIBILITIES: MODELS FOR RECONCILIATORY EDUCATION\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eReflective Question\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e1.
