Alberta Education, the Alberta Teachers’ Association, the National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation and four other education stakeholder organizations in Alberta signed the Joint Commitment to Action to ensure that all students learn about the histories, cultures and world views of First Nations, Métis and Inuit peoples. The Alberta Teachers’ Association has begun to fulfill its commitment by establishing the Walking Together: Education for Reconciliation Professional Learning Project. Six professional development consultants hired to lead the Association’s Walking Together initiative will be appearing at every teachers’ convention this year, providing information at the ATA booth and conducting two workshops. At each convention, Walking Together facilitators will present a blanket exercise and a workshop entitled Education for Reconciliation: Understanding the Legacy of Residential Schools. This is a voluntary program for the provinces 42,000 teachers.
