ETFO: Engaging with Educators

There are many Indigenous education resources available to any educator, both created by ETFO and also a compiled set of online resources. (Note: This webpage was formerly called Spirit Horse).

ETFO website of FNMI education resources and professional learning opportunities

This resource aims to address common misconceptions that exist in our society. The brochure includes information and resources that are all hyperlinked to various websites to provide members with more in-depth information on various topics.

There is a digital and print version of the poster that highlights 27 children's books (K-8) that are written by Indigenous Peoples. This companion resource supports members utilizing the FNMI texts listed in the ETFO Growth Chart by introducing diverse worldviews, perspectives and presence of Indigenous experiences, histories, knowledge and philosophies through the texts, literacy prompts and enrichment activities.

ETFO and Right To Play Canada created this resource for elementary educators that provides information on the diversity of the original inhabitants of Canada, common terms and definitions, creating culturally inclusive learning environments that are reflective of First Nations, Métis and Inuit learners, engagement strategies that support culturally inclusive instructional practices, background information on worldviews, treaties, residential schools, inspiring Indigenous leaders, and play-based activities that support and engage all students.
