Ojibway Language and Narrative
April 30 - May 26, 2012

This one-of-a-kind summer institute offers students the opportunity to study topics in an intensive, often interdisciplinary way. For example, Studies in Objibway Language and Narrative looks at the Ojibway language and culture from three perspectives in an intensive four-week period. Linguistics, Native Studies are collaborating on a summer institute that will give you an understanding of the Ojibway language as well as of culture and literature. You will learn about the structure of the language, the teaching of Cree and the Cree oral storytelling tradition. This interdisciplinary focus allows you to add a unique focal point to your studies, while experiencing instructors who are specialized in their field, including visiting instructors and community guests. There are three components to the institute - the first offers a practical introduction to the Ojibway language with a focus on oral work for the purpose of learning basic sounds and grammatical patterns the second examines the structure of the Ojibway language and provides a detailed structural analysis with special attention to the problem of dialect variation and to the contrastive analysis of Ojibway and English and the third is a study of Aboriginal Literature.

Education for Sustainability
July 3 - 13, 2012

The United Nations have declared 2005-2014 the Decade of Education for Sustainable Development; the Council of Ministers of Education Canada has declared Education for Sustainable Development to be one of eight key educational priorities for student learning in Canada; and the Manitoba Government has identified Education for Sustainable Development as one of five Priority Action Areas in K-12 schooling. Working toward a sustainable future has become a recognized societal and personal responsibility. Education plays a crucial role in this responsibility. But what is meant by “sustainability”? What does a sustainable future look like? What does a sustainable future require of Manitobans and Canadians in terms of how they live their lives? What is the responsibility and role of education and schooling in working toward a sustainable future? What curricular and instructional implications does the idea of teaching and learning for a sustainable future have? What strategies have been suggested for classroom teachers, administrators, and other educators for implementing education for sustainability? This summer institute will engage participants in these and related questions. The institute is designed to assist school educators with developing a deeper understanding of, commitment toward, and competency in implementing education for sustainability in their respective educational contexts.

This course is the first of the two courses of the Summer Institute. The course provides opportunities for participants to develop a foundational understanding of the multi-faceted concept of sustainability, the notion of living sustainably and its relationship to school education and personal responsibility. There will be an on-line component for which students will be required to engage with other course participants in on-line discussions. 

EDUB 5230 T03/ EDUB 7350 T02 Teaching and Learning for Sustainability (3)

EDUB 5230 T03 Recent Developments in Curriculum, Teaching and Learning 2: Education for Sustainability - Teaching and Learning for Sustainability (3) This course builds upon the foundational understanding of sustainability developed in the first half of the Summer Institute and provides participants with opportunities to critically engage with proposed strategies of enacting education for sustainability in classroom, school-wide, or school-community projects. The course will also assist participants in developing resources that are specific to a grade level or school subject, whole school initiatives, or school-community projects and that can be used in the particular context in which the participants work. There will be an on-line component for which students will be required to engage with other course participants in on-line discussions.  

Storytelling for Peace Education and Human Rights
