The Global Perspective? Worldview meets Confucianism

 I had an experience of working on a "curriculum development" team back in the day (2017) in regards to Career Life Education at an overseas school called Maple Leaf World Schools (previous known as Maple Leaf International School), I know a lot of my ML rant is less than time worthy because generally I complain a lot about the same things, but in this case-I am sharing an interesting take on the adaptation of The First Nations' Principles of Learning () and examining how they were adapted to be understood by Chinese/International students within China.

I believe it was around 2017 that BC was beginning implementation of its new curriculum across the board. When the discussion of how to incorporate the values of the Canadian First Nation Peoples, a specialist in Canadian Education from BC who was Canadian-Chinese. This professional decided it was best to study both sets of learning principles and put them side by side.

I have attached a link to a copy of this PPT that was created based off the First Nations Principles of Learning provided below the PPT link,

This was interesting to watch unfold unto the rest of the curriculum-it eventually turned into Global Perspectives which was the nature of discussing this-its quite related to a module 1 topic we are discussing in an FNMI ABQ.
