RESPONSIBILITIES 

"Celhcelh suggests that person is responsible for his or her own learning, for finding and taking advantages of all opportunities to learn, and maintaining openness to learning. Each person must find their place in the community, and offer what knowledge and expertise they have to benefit the communal work being carried out” (Stanford, Williams, Hopper, & McGregor, 2012, p. 24). From: Indigenous Principles Decolonizing Teacher Education 

Drawing upon Lil’wat pedagogical principle of celhcelh (which literally translates to “hard working”) as articulated by Elder Dr. Lorna Williams, all members of our community are responsible for their own learning, as well as for assuming a shared responsibility for supporting the learning of others. Diverse contributions to our community are welcome, and you are encouraged to share your unique gifts and passions with our cohort. 

As our learning is process-oriented and embodied, active and engaged participation in our shared and individual work, is a programmatic requirement. Please let us know if you encounter challenging or unforeseen circumstances that interfere with your responsibilities to your learning or to our community. If a meeting must be missed due to illness, please inform the instructors, check in with a colleague, and work through all readings, activities, and reflections, and contribute back to the cohort in some way. Extending care, support, respect for others is central to our roles as educators, practitioner-scholars, and community leaders.
