Communities of Practice
Our four CoPs completed their Year 1 activities and have created and shared various resources such as research minis, documentaries, lesson plans, literature reviews, and more.
CoP leads met on October 24, 2017 to share their work from Year 1, discuss future plans, and find cross-CoP connections. Attendees represented all 4 CoPs, the MKN Executive, TVO, KNAER, and the Ministry of Education. CoP leads will meet again in January 2018 to report on progress, share artifacts, and discuss next steps.

On June 27-29, 2017, our Indigenous Knowledge & Mathematics Education Community of Practice met at Trent University to discuss goals, plans, and hopes for the CoP going forward.
After two days of rich conversation and sharing, members reflected on the following:
See their reflections below (click to enlarge).
What does knowledge mobilization look like, sound like, feel like in the context of this CoP?
This was the question that the IK CoP hopes to answer by the end of August 2018. To work toward answering this question, they set the following goals:
The IK CoP is holding a Math Culture Camp mid-August to further develop their plans for this coming year and beyond.
