2: Whole child approaches and the Relational Framework

The Creating Conditions podcast is brought to you by the Indian Education team at the Office of Public Instruction. 

In this episode we explore the Indigenous Whole Learner Relational Framework which creates a lens for educators to see Indigenous students, and all students, holistically. Using the domains of Spirit/Being, Heart/Belonging, Body/Doing, and Mind/Knowing, this framework emphasizes the importance of relationships and aims to inspire educators to take whole-learner approaches in educating and supporting students.
