Given the dangers of misinformation and its prevalence in our social media age, Dr. Sears discusses the need for educators to help students critically assess the validity of information and how to engage with people who have been misinformed. The conversation focused on strategies that educators can adopt to help their students engage in critical media literacy when consuming information about current events and societal issues.

Their discussion explores why both pre-service and practising teachers in Alberta feel like they cannot, or do not want to, include Francophone perspectives in their classrooms, even though the social studies curriculum they follow explicitly calls on educators to do so. Jeremy and Dane explore with Raphaël how they have been socialized to see Francophone people, perspectives, and histories in particular ways, and how educators might create curriculum encounters with students that foster a renewed sense of connection to Francophone people and memory in the places where they collectively live.

Shashi Shergill, Assistant Principal of Connect Charter School, and Dr. Jodi Latremouille of Vancouver Island College share stories about a multi-year collaborative partnership between Connect Charter School in Calgary Alberta and Chilla elementary school of the Tsuut’ina Nation. Together, we discuss how to approach education, both at a personal and at a system level, through the lens of social justice and ethical relationality. As part of this conversation, we explore how to build genuine relationships with Indigenous communities, people, and ways of knowing, as well as how to address resistances that can emerge when we engage deeply in this kind of work.

Over the course of their conversation, Dr. Donald expands on the metaphor of the “Fort” as an operating mythology that continues to frame Indigenous-Canadian relations in problematic ways. They also discuss ways educators can provide opportunities for students to learn from Indigenous stories, philosophies, and ways of knowing, without, in the case of non-Indigenous teachers, co-opting or misrepresenting Indigenous practises and/or cultures. Notions of relational renewal and the importance of kinship relations are also explored.

We discuss the importance of recognizing student identities when teaching history, and how educators can work to do this in ways that acknowledge the fluid and plural nature of ethnic identities. The conversation then shifts to current curriculum changes taking place in Alberta and how this will affect the calls to action of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission. Dr. Peck provides guidance around the uncertain climate that future teachers may find themselves in and how they can attend to calls for social justice in the context of curricular constraints.

The conversation focuses on the disconnect many teachers experience between the mission statements of social studies curriculum documents seeking to promote active and potentially transformative forms of citizenship and teachers’ actual classroom practises. Dr. Scott discusses his attempt to bridge this gap through a Grade 8 inquiry project that asked students to consider whether conditions and developments that occurred in Northern Italy during the Renaissance were present in the city in which the students resided. The possibilities and affordances of different forms of inquiry frameworks are discussed including throughline questioning strategies and authentic tasks.

Together, the three of us explore the importance of ethical judgements in the classroom, whether focused on the internment of Japanese-Canadians during the Second World War or other difficult histories. In the polarized world that exists today, we discuss how to balance out the limitless perspectives that can show up in a classroom and how teachers can engage in rich discussions whilst maintaining an open classroom environment. The discussion then shifts to effective methods for teaching history with an emphasis on the ways historical thinking can help students engage in the kinds of questions, processes, and procedures historians take up in their work.
