The First Peoples Principles of Learning align closely with how I have viewed education. It was not until starting in the teacher program that I was introduced to the First Peoples Principles of Learning and how closely they align with my views on education. I believe that Eurocentric views on education and life in general have strayed away from what it means to be human. The desire for community, to be one with nature, explores ones own identity and pursue those passions are human nature. The individualism that is being promoted throughout western civilization is creating more problems than it is fixing.
