Sample text

I had completed my doctoral 32 A. Kassam degree in education and was thus qualified to apply for research grants and become a Principal Investigator in research work. At this stage, I was also able to visit different schools and the research funding allowed me to hire research assistants who also conducted research in schools to support my work. However, this was still the first phase of the Other Story project and it is also important to point out that in the 2nd phase of the Other Story project, I was a classroom teacher with my own students, curriculum and connections to schools around the world (see below).

The curriculum was a combination of classroom based discussion and an on-line conference linking schools throughout Canada to students and adherents of the culture being studied. The most important objective of the project was to study cultures from their own perspective. Students, teachers and adherents of the culture being studied were invited to participate in the on-line conference. It was envisaged that through this approach Canadian students would develop a deeper, more sophisticated and less media-bound understanding of different cultures of the world.

S. Dawson students respond to other schools’ sympathy for the First Nations peoples when they lost their land, as being politically correct. Their teacher sees no wrong committed and is only interested in proving that her students are the most articulate of all the other schools. They miss altogether the suffering of the First Nations school. While the Other Story project makes great efforts to bring marginalized cultures into the classroom so as to encourage students in history classes to understand history and to practice critical thinking from an ethical perspective, we find that unless the classroom teacher is engaged and knowledgeable in creating critical pedagogical environments, students descend into one up manship and petty posturing.
