Physical Literacy: An Indigenous Journey for All

To support the implementation of the renewed Physical Education 20 and 30 curricula in Saskatchewan and the actualization of Inspiring Success: First Nations and Métis PreK-12 Education Policy Framework, the Saskatchewan Ministry of Education invited professional growth networks affiliated with the Saskatchewan Teachers’ Federation to submit a collaborative project proposal to develop materials to support First Nations, Métis and Inuit content, perspectives, and ways of knowing within the Physical Education 20 and 30 curricula.
