Supporting Indigenous Children’s Success through Nature-based Learning

Most educators work with some students with Indigenous ancestry. However, most educators have not received much, if any, training on how to support the success of Indigenous learners.

We invite all educators to join First Nations educator Jenna Jasek (Shuswap Band (Kenpesq’t)/Ktunaxa ancestry) on this 4 x 60-minute session virtual course where she will share resources, strategies, lessons and activities to support Indigenous children in ways that connect to their culture, self-identity, the local Land and showcasing their successes in learning.

Course Facilitator

Jenna Jasek is the Director of Indigenous Learning for The Outdoor Learning School & Store, a certified teacher of 20 years, a graduate of the Indigenous Teacher Education Program (NITEP), holds a Master’s of Special Education and is the former VP for Indigenous Learning and Equity for the Rocky Mountain School Board. In 2025, she graduated from the Secwépemc Language Fluency Certificate Program.

Jenna is on a lifelong learning journey that explores her culture, traditional teachings, languages, and Knowledge of nature. She believes that Indigenous perspectives weave effortlessly with outdoor, experiential, and place-based learning. Her dream is to give learners of all ages the chance to explore, learn, and immerse themselves in the outdoors, and Indigenous perspectives and Knowledge. Jenna lives at the headwaters of the Columbia River, which runs through and is the unceded territories of her ancestors, the Secwépemc and Ktunaxa people.
