Welcome to
Carolyn Roberts
Re-storying education:
Decolonizing practice with a critical lens.
This workshop will be a hands-on workshop filled with opportunities to support culturally sustaining practices within the classroom. Using an Indigenous lens and stories, we will work through ways that you can use Indigenous pedagogies and practices to support all students within your classroom. Grounded in Indigenous knowledge systems and worldview, this work will support how we engage with Indigenous education and practices in the K-12 education system. You will walk away with a new lens of teaching and some practices you will be able to use right away in your classroom.
In this 90 minute interactive workshop, you will be given opportunities to look at what decolonizing teacher practice looks like within a classroom. Carolyn will support your learning with opportunities to practice, discuss, and ask questions about decolonized teacher practice. This work is focused on creating classroom environments that will support all learners.

Culturally Responsive Classrooms
Culturally Responsive Education
Together in conversation with Carolyn Roberts we will be talking about culturally responsive teaching practices (CRP) to create equitable learning environments where all students can thrive, be seen and heard within their learning. We will explore CRP and learn practical strategies for the implementation of this practice and develop skills to create inclusive and equitable learning environments that recognize and celebrate the diverse backgrounds of all students. We will also talk about how to design and implement a culturally inclusive curriculum that reflects diverse perspectives. This conversation is suitable for K-12 educators, administrators, and anyone involved in teaching or educational leadership who is interested in fostering an inclusive and responsive educational environment. My hope is to empower educators to create classrooms where all students feel valued, respected, and capable of achieving their full potential.
Moving from
Performative to Accomplice
This workshop is for any team that is wanting to learn more about how they can support Indigenous education within the education system and beyond.
In this 120 minute interactive workshop, you will be given opportunities to take a deep dive into what is needed to be an accomplice in the work of Indigenous education. Carolyn will support your learning with opportunities to practice, discuss, and ask questions about the tools and knowledge needed to move away from performative practices, to educational work that will change how you teach in the classroom. This work is focused on creating spaces for educators to learn about how to approach the work and teach Indigenous education in their classrooms.
