Throughout the Bachelor od Education program at UNBC, we had a class that lasted the course of the entire program. This class represented Indigenous perspectives and beliefs which we could carry into our teaching pedagogy. This course allowed for us to reflect and think of ways that we as educators can incorporate Indigenous culture and perspectives into our classrooms. For our final project of the class, we had the entire length of the program to build and create a representation of how we wish to incorporate Indigenous identity and knowledge into our classrooms, as well as our own understandings of what we have learned. For my final project in EDUC 446, I reflected on all that I have learned during my time in the education program at UNBC. As I reflected, I decided to create a memory scrapbook of my time in the program over the last year and a half to represent my educational journey and my self-identity. I wanted to create something with sentimental value, that I could reflect on in my future years of teaching, to see what I had accomplished and something that could show my growth as an educator and how I have continued to challenge myself and try new things. The scrapbook is divided into each block throughout the program, showing my growth and development from block one until now, block five. I wanted my product to relate to the indigenous seasonal rounds and demonstrate how each season aligns with change and new beginnings. Each block of the program offered me a new challenge, understanding, perspective, and growth. My Bachelor of Education memory scrapbook will continue to grow throughout my teaching career as a symbol of new beginnings, and my growth as a lifelong learner.
