Sagaytgawdi

Sagaytgawdi (a Sm'algyax word meaning "gathering together") helps educators support equity and well-being in their classroom through practical strategies that ground assessment practices in Indigenous knowledges. Accomplished authors and educators Jo Chrona (Wayi Wah! Indigenous Pedagogies) and Brooke Moore (Sorting it Out) provide educators with a conceptual framework to evolve their assessment practices and make more informed, student-responsive decisions.

Sagaytgawdi is designed to be a practical, engaging resource for teachers of all grade levels. It includes:

• opportunities for reflection
• personal and professional narratives
• guiding principles
• actionable strategies
• teacher examples
• recommendations for additional resources

With this resource, educators will be inspired to use assessment to create more inclusive, supportive environments where all students can achieve and thrive, respecting and celebrating their unique identities and cultures.
