In 2010-2011 the Legacy of Hope Foundation began developing an education program targeted to Canadian youth aged 11-18. This program is designed to support educators and administrators in raising awareness and teaching about the history and legacy of residential schools – effectively providing practical tools that can be implemented in classrooms. These products come in response to demands from educators for complete in-class resources, and serve as an entry point to both the subject matter and to existing resources currently available at wherearethechildren.ca
The curriculum packages are comprised of videos including Survivor testimonies, a Teacher’s Guide with six customizable Lesson Plans (12-24 hrs of activities), teacher resources and extension activities. The Edu-kit package contains a wall-mounted timeline, and timeline in the more-compact teacher bundle is in booklet format.
Due to an overwhelming demand, our supply of the Edu-Kit has been depleted. We do have a supply of the Teachers’ Bundle which is a smaller version of the Edu-Kit but without the vinyl timeline banners. Please contact us at: info@legacyofhope.ca for more information.
