Two-Eared Listening for Deeper Understanding Classroom Resource Kit. Download HERE.

 

This kit was created by RFNL to help educators, early childhood programs, and youth-serving organizations practice Two-Eared Listening, a teaching from Chief Mi’sel Joe of Miawpukek First Nation.

 

Two-Eared Listening means listening with both ears and with our hearts, so that we can understand not only the facts but also the feelings being shared. It is a way of learning together that supports respect, care, and reconciliation.

 

The activities in this kit connect to National Day for Truth and Reconciliation and Orange Shirt Day, but they can (and should) be used at any time of the school year. They are designed for flexibility: educators can use one lesson on its own, draw activities across grade levels, or adapt them for their local context. Each lesson combines head (information and ideas), heart (feelings and relationships), and hands (reflection and possible action).
