This course builds on First Nations, Métis, and Inuit Students: Counselling and Support Part 1 and expands on the skills and knowledge gained through that course. Part 2 provides candidates with opportunities to deepen their learning and understanding of the FNMI belief of lifelong learning and to apply these principles in a meaningful and effective way in their professional practice. The conceptual framework of the course content encourages candidates to reflect on their learning process by considering the building of the connections to mind, body, heart and spirit. FNMI Students: Counselling and Support Part 2 extends subject-specific professional practice, knowledge and skills in the design and implementation of learning opportunities in the following elements: vision of the Counsellor in a FNMI context, fundamental rights and education legislation in Ontario, theoretical foundations of FNMI students, research, and pedagogical inquiry and scholarship. Candidates will explore applications of family/community, land, and the world.
