THEORETICAL PERSPECTIVES EXPLAINED
Challenge: Traditional curriculum design frequently relies on passive learning methods and content that inadvertently reinforces historical inequities, ignoring the impact of colonial and ancestral trauma. This oversight can marginalize students, diminish their sense of belonging, and limit meaningful engagement with course materials. Complex topics such as “Intersectionality” lay flat in one expression, which promotes inequities.
Solution: Utilize available resources to visually express ideas. Even in the midst of chaos our ancestors have used multiple forms of expression to share wisdom. Like markings in stone these Youtube videos represent a collective contribution of videos such as “What is Intersectionality”.

Dynamically Gamified Curriculum
Challenge: Traditional curriculum design frequently relies on passive learning methods and content that inadvertently reinforces historical inequities, ignoring the impact of colonial trauma. This oversight can marginalize students, diminish their sense of belonging, and limit meaningful engagement with course materials.
Solution: Gamifying your curriculum transforms passive content into immersive, interactive experiences grounded in cultural mindfulness and sensitivity to colonial trauma. Through inclusive storytelling, diverse perspectives, culturally relevant scenarios, and empowering game-based challenges, students become active, engaged learners. This approach validates their identities and histories, enhances knowledge retention, fosters critical thinking, and encourages meaningful dialogue, creating a safe, inclusive, and affirming learning environment.
Storytelling
Challenge: Effective storytelling in content design goes beyond crafting compelling narratives—it requires capturing accurate data and identifying clear, quantifiable indicators of success. One of the biggest challenges is aligning creative expression with measurable outcomes.
