To celebrate National Indigenous History Month, here鈥檚 a tip for instructors on how to incorporate the concept of talking circles into their classrooms.
Talking Circles Spotlight Teaching Tip Week #2: Use 鈥淚鈥� Language to Decentre Authority
Spotlight:
Talking Circles create space for each voice to be heard without interruption or hierarchy. This practice values lived experience and invites everyone鈥攊ncluding instructors鈥攖o participate with humility and openness.
They invite personal storytelling and lived experience as valid forms of knowledge. In this space, educators are participants too鈥攏ot just facilitators. Using 鈥淚鈥� language shifts the tone from top-down instruction to co-learning, a core value in Indigenous pedagogies.
Why it matters:
Instructors often speak from a place of expertise. In Talking Circles, sharing from personal experience (not as an authority) fosters authenticity and mutual respect.
Try this:
Model the use of 鈥淚鈥� statements. Rather than saying, 鈥淪tudents need to鈥︹�� try, 鈥淚n my experience, I鈥檝e noticed鈥︹��
Reflective question:
How can shifting from expert to co-learner deepen trust and learning in your classroom?

13 department and faculty hosts. 17 different soups, with a few repeats. By our best count, over 3100 bowls served! What a 10th year! Thank you!
Plans are underway for year 11 when we hope to offer bi-weekly Soup for the Soul at the Chaplaincy Centre. Hosts are asked to choose recipes with some help provided, shop and chop one day, then cook and serve the next day. Hosts who finance their events are appreciated but we have limited funding available.
Quick! Consider this invitation with the same momentum as bidding to host the Olympics or World Cup event. Check your calendars and email sukidd@upei.ca to book your date.
