Medicine Wheel Teacher Examples The examples in this power point are from NESD teachers Much gratitude for creating with your students and sharing
Let’s see how teachers are using the medicine wheel in the classroom: For too long, First Nation teachings were not invited to have a place in European education. The time has come where we can see how balanced an educational delivery can be with the understanding of the medicine wheel. It is a way to teach global thinking!
After a Medicine Wheel teachings workshop the teachers then created their own Medicine Wheels for use in their classrooms.
