An Indigenous Pedagogy Primer every homeschool family should read
A framework from Māori and First Nations traditions that centers learning as relational before it is informational.
By The Remix Academics Research Council

<p>This weeks drop is not an app or a platform. Its a framework -- and it might quietly reorganize how you think about what learning is supposed to do. The Indigenous Pedagogy Primer, developed by educators in the Māori and First Nations traditions and adapted for contemporary home learning contexts, centers a few ideas worth sitting with: that learning is relational before it is informational, that place is a teacher, and that knowledge transmission across generations is itself a form of curriculum.</p><p>For Black and Brown families designing home learning environments, this framework has immediate resonance. It validates oral tradition as pedagogy. It names community as classroom. It treats cultural knowledge -- the kind grandparents hold, the kind that does not show up in a textbook -- as legitimate academic content. You dont have to adopt it wholesale. But reading it is likely to give you better language for what youre already doing intuitively.</p>
