Sag̱aytg̱awdi (a Sm’algyax word meaning “gathering together”) helps educators support equity and well-being in their classroom through practical strategies that ground assessment practices in Indigenous knowledges. Accomplished authors and educators Jo Chrona (Wayi Wah! Indigenous Pedagogies) and Brooke Moore (Sorting it Out) provide educators with a conceptual framework to evolve their assessment practices and make more informed, student-responsive decisions.

Sag̱aytg̱awdi is designed to be a practical, engaging resource for teachers of all grade levels. It includes:

opportunities for reflection
personal and professional narratives
guiding principles
actionable strategies
teacher examples
recommendations for additional resources

With this resource, educators will be inspired to use assessment to create more inclusive, supportive environments where all students can achieve and thrive, respecting and celebrating their unique identities and cultures.

Jo Chrona is a Two-Spirit educator, philosopher, and member of the Kitsumkalum First Nation,with Ts’msyen and European heritage. With over 25 years of experience in K–12 and post-secondary education, Jo holds a master’s degree in Educational Technology and has worked in curriculum development, resource writing, professional learning, and Indigenous and anti-racist education. She has played a key role in transforming British Columbia’s K–12 system, including working with a First Nations–led education advocacy organization and advising the BC Ministry of Education. Jo currently lives in the unceded traditional territories of the Hul’qumi’num and SENĆOŦEN speaking peoples on what is now called Salt Spring Island, British Columbia. Brooke Moore, (she/her) an educator of European ancestry, has served in public education for over two decades. Currently she is a District Principal for Inquiry and Innovation at Delta Schools and an Adjunct professor at UBC. Throughout her work, Brooke strives towards a future where all children move into adulthood with “dignity, purpose, and options”, a phrase she learned from the Networks of Inquiry and Indigenous Education. Her core value of collaboration played a central role in her doctoral studies and led her to also co-author Sorting it Out and the Decision Maker Playbook. Brooke currently lives with her family on the unceded and ancestral lands of the sc̓əwaθən and xʷməθkʷəy̓əm in what is now called Delta, British Columbia.
