Intergenerational Learning

“Elders are gaining their rightful place as cultural teachers as they tell stories to students in band and public schools, to postsecondary students, and to adults who ask”

                                                                                                                                                                                                                 (Archibald, 2008, p. 67)

 

Connecting with the Five Rs

  • Relevance: Is it relevant to bring intergenerational teachings to my lesson design?

  • Respect: Am I following protocols and practices to include intergenerational teachings in a good way?​

  • Reciprocity: How is this intergenerational learning beneficial to both the student and community?​

  • Responsibility: Have I created an ethical space where all are held accountable to receive intergenerational teachings in a good way?​

  • Relationships: How will this learning provide opportunities to engage with and cultivate intergenerational relations?
