Reconciling Together: Indigenous and Non-Indigenous Educator Experiences in Anti-Colonial Curriculum Design.

The study seeks to gather insights from educators about their experiences with anti-colonial curriculum design. While there is no guaranteed benefit for participating, your contributions will help shape meaningful, context-specific educational strategies that challenge colonial narratives and support anti-colonial education practices. Participants will be asked to complete an online survey and will be entered into a draw to win one of 40 gift cards valued at $50. Additionally, 10 participants will be selected for a follow-up interview via Zoom, for which they will receive a $50 gift card as compensation for their time and insights.
