Abstract:
This paper presents the policy context of Ontario (Canada) education for Catholic teachers.
The analysis suggests that a seminal policy related to Aboriginal education compels Catholic
teachers to profound considerations of what it means to teach in the Catholic faith. More
specifically, it suggests that the policy, when juxtaposed to the other policies and practices,
force Catholic teachers to account for ideological and political implications related to their
practice. It is argued that Catholic teachers are bound to analyze critically the tensions and
complexities of Aboriginal students’ epistemic realities and the profound socio-political
implications that contribute to a new and different level of professional and moral
responsibility.
