This website is primarily aimed at covering the curriculum for VG1 English in Norway and Indigenous Knowledge Systems in TOK in the IB, and at pupils aged 16+.  It consists  of teaching resources and activities. One of the main aims is to use sources produced by Indigenous peoples themselves.

New:

Teaching resources for Sami National Day/ undervisningsressurser for samisk nasjonaldag.

Articles and tasks (both an overview and in-depth) for Australia Day.

 

 

Research Group

From February 2019, this website will be linked to the work of the NTNU research group Indigenous Topics in Education.

There will come more resources in Norwegian and general articles on teaching about Indigenous peoples.

If you are interested in the research group, please get in touch through the contact form.

 

Interested in a workshop or seminar?

During the past couple of years, I have held several workshops and seminars  for teachers, and have spoken at conferences about textbook representations and how to work with Indigenous topics in the classroom. If you are interested in a visit at your school or college, use the contact form to get in touch.
