Passport to Reconciliation

What is the Passport to Reconciliation?

In November 2021 we launched a year of learning: The Passport to Reconciliation. Each month we share a different learning focus. Learning is action and everyone in KPR has a role to play in Reconciliation.

Year at a glance picture

Who can participate in the learning?

  • Individual staff
  • Classrooms
  • Whole School
  • Departments in a School or at the Board Office

Why is this important?

  • Truth and Reconciliation Commission Calls to Action (Education) 62-65
  • National Day for Truth and Reconciliation
  • Reconciliation: What Does it Mean?
  • Bring reconciliation in the classroom

Where do we start?

  • You can begin with this month's focus.
  • You can go back and do any learning you missed in any month.
  • This learning can happen online or in person. Everything you need to begin is provided.

Why do we need to share our learning?

We are taking action by sharing our learning and its impact. It is a way to pledge our commitment and to make the learning visible.

This year we are learning as action. #ReconciliACTIONatKPR

Passport to Reconciliation at KPR

There are staff and students in schools and departments across the system choosing to engage in important learning through the Passport to Reconciliation.

Our goal is to have every school and every department engaged in learning as action through the Passport to Reconciliation.

It's up to you to learn.

Education for Reconciliation: The Truth and Reconciliation Commission's Calls to Action

62. We call upon the federal, provincial, and territorial governments,

in consultation and collaboration with Survivors, Aboriginal peoples, and educators, to:

  1. Make age-appropriate curriculum on residential schools, Treaties, and Aboriginal peoples' historical and contemporary contributions to Canada a mandatory education requirement for Kindergarten to Grade Twelve students.
  2. Provide the necessary funding to post-secondary institutions to educate teachers on how to integrate Indigenous knowledge and teaching methods into classrooms.
  3. Provide the necessary funding to Aboriginal schools to utilize Indigenous knowledge and teaching methods in classrooms.
  4. Establish senior-level positions in government at the assistant deputy minister level or higher dedicated to Aboriginal content in education.

63. We call upon the Council of Ministers of Education, Canada to

maintain an annual commitment to Aboriginal education issues, including:

  1. Developing and implementing Kindergarten to Grade Twelve curriculum and learning resources on Aboriginal peoples in Canadian history, and the history and legacy of residential schools.
  2. Sharing information and best practices on teaching curriculum related to residential schools and Aboriginal history.
  3. Building student capacity for intercultural understanding, empathy, and mutual respect.
  4. Identifying teacher-training needs relating to the above.
