Together we can support FNMI student achievement, excellence and success!

Alberta Education has identified improving results for FNMI students as a priority. Jurisdiction and School Education Plans need to identify strategies to improve FNMI student results including:

• PAT/Diploma Exam Results
• High School Completion & Drop Out Rates
• Post-secondary Transition Rates
• Rutherford Scholarship Eligibility

To support this priority, FNMI - Learning Services welcomes the opportunity to work with schools to implement strategies that include:

• Individual student supports
• Parent and community engagement
• Cultural programming and awareness
• Curriculum support
• Professional development
• Support transitions in students’ education
• Celebrating success

Teachers from the FNMI - Learning Services provide unique and valuable educational supports that include:

• Consulting with and supporting schools through conversations that focus on FNMI student success.
• Providing teaching and learning resources that support and increase awareness, knowledge and understanding of FNMI cultures.
• Classroom presentations on specific FNMI topics within the Program of Studies.
• Developing curriculum resources that enhance the capacity of teachers and support the infusion of FNMI perspectives within subject areas.
• FNMI Professional Development workshops for school staff.
• Consultation support with individual schools and personnel as needed.
