Key Findings Evaluation Question #4: Is the program being implemented as designed? "We don't want to share something that's not ours to share, and we don't want to be going into the area of cultural appropriation at all…and Connected North has certainly supported us in being able to center Indigenous voices." -Teacher interviewee Sessions are culturally relevant ❑ Cultural Relevance manifested through Indigenous representation, strengthened connection to students' own cultures, intercultural learning, as well as supporting teachers to avoid cultural appropriation by enabling access to Indigenous presenters. Evidence Base: Strong positive High volume of relevant evidence H Sessions provide otherwise unavailable educational opportunities "For me as an individual teacher like it would be too much for work for me to try and find organizations and try to set up time…You know, time is such a scarcity for teachers that anything that's prepackaged and, like I said, if I had to do it myself, Holy Moly like, I don't know that I'd ever do it." -Teacher interviewee Evidence Base: Strong positive High volume of relevant evidence H ❑ In addition to compensating for limited field trip opportunities; the program addressed gaps in teacher skills or knowledge, filled broader programming gaps, and served as a one-stop source of learning experiences that teachers could not reasonably be expected to create on their own.
