In this episode, we present a breakout session from uLead 2024 with Jethro Ulrich. Jethro shares his story of being a sixties scoop survivor and his experiences as an indigenous student, teacher, researcher, and leader in an educational context. "The Stories We Share: An Indigenous Experience in Education" is the culmination of Jethro's graduate research that explores systemic racism in our Canadian education system and the colonial practices that continue to marginalize our indigenous students and their families.
Jethro is a teacher and current Assistant Principal with Edmonton Catholic Schools. He recently completed his Master's degree in Educational Leadership at Concordia University of Edmonton. The focus of his research is the decolonization of education through engagement and relationship building with indigenous families, elders, and their communities within the Edmonton Catholic School division. Jethro's graduate work was nominated for the Governor General's Award for Academic Excellence.
