The program includes five elements: • “pathway approach” to instruction and assessment that: (a) is based on the science of literacy, (b) enables teachers to monitor children’s progress in acquiring literacy skills from kindergarten to grade 3, (c) is linked explicitly to teaching activities that support First Nations language and culture, and (d) supports efforts to increase children’s language skills in their indigenous language. • professional development program for teachers aimed at increasing their knowledge of the science of literacy skill development and its application in First Nations settings; • training program for aides and volunteers supporting children’s literacy development; • family and community literacy program aimed at strengthening families’ contributions to their children’s skill development; and • training program for mentors supporting successful transitions of First Nations students. The development of Confident Learners was supported with funding from Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development Canada (AANDC) from 2013 to 2015. The on-going development is now being supported by The Learning Bar Inc. Thirty-two First Nations schools across Canada are participating in its development, including 34% or eleven schools from Treaty 4. Teachers now have access to an extensive set of over 400 learning activities, which are consistent with First Nations’ approaches to learning and linked directly to the outcomes associated with each step on the pathway to becoming a successful reader. The schools in Treaty 4 contributed to the development of the teaching activities and participated in the development of the training videos for Confident Learners. These are being used this year as part of the professional development program. Two members of the Treaty 4 staff sit on the Advisory Circle for Confident Learners. In September, 2014, T4EA Executive Director was invited by the Canadian High Commission in Australia to discuss Treaty 4’s success with the EYE and Confident Learners at an Aboriginal Roundtable held in Adelaide, South Australia. ~Dr. Doug Willms President, KSI Research 2014-15 Nation Builder Report chool uccess Receptive Vocabulary (N=108) T Phonological Awareness (N=108) Word Reading Accuracy: non-words (N=76) 4 Word Reading Accuracy: words (N=108) E Reading Comprehension (N=43) Word Reading Fluency: non (N=49) A Word Reading Fluency: words (N=95) 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 In May, 2015, 109 Grade 1 children were assessed. The average age was 6 years, 11 months. The results shown are based on children who were able and willing to take the test. Interpretation of results: You will notice a difference between numbers of children (N) who completed various tests. If a child could not complete the practice sections included for some tests, the test was discontinued or not administered. This was common in both non-word reading tests (Fluency and Accuracy), as well as Reading Comprehension, and might contribute to variances in results in these areas. Tests were also discontinued if a child exhibited or expressed stress or anxiety during testing. The test results take into account the children’s ages. A score of 10 indicates that children are performing at the mean for that age. Children scoring 6 or 7 are in the low average range, children scoring 8 to 12 are in the average range, while children scoring 13 or 14 are in the high average range. EA Grade 1 Aggregate scored in the low average range in all areas. In 2015-2016, all Kindergarten to Grade 3 children will be assessed in their coding and language skills so that teachers will have an accurate description of where they are on the literacy pathway. 2014-15 Nation Builder Report chool uccess Early Years Success Leaders “The promotion of Reading skills at an early age is all of

INTRODUCTION [1] The matter under judicial review is the Minister of Indian and Northern Affairs Canada’s (Minister) decision to withhold two-thirds of monies under dispute in protracted litigation before this Court involving some of the parties to this judicial review.

  • FINANCIAL STEWARDSHIP GSSD Believes That We Are All Accountable
    March/April 2021 FINANCIAL STEWARDSHIP GSSD believes that we are all accountable. Board members, students, staff, families and community members have a responsibility, both individually and as part of the learning team, to participate and to contribute positively to public education. STUDENT & FAMILY INTERNAL PROCESSES PEOPLE CAPACITY FINANCIAL STEWARDSHIP FINANCIAL CAPACITY PEOPLE PROCESSES INTERNAL FAMILY & STUDENT Long-term Goals • By June 30, 2021, GSSD will implement systemic and transparent approaches to find efficiencies and increase value for money allowing the division to respond to the challenges of student and staff needs. 2021-22 BUDGET Provincial Context Saskatchewan school divisions will receive $1.96 billion in operating funding for the 2021-22 school year which is a net increase of $21.9 million over last year. Though the increase appears to be significant, much of it will be used to offset the costs associated with the teachers’ collective bargaining agreement as well as other minor adjustments within the operating grant. What Does this Mean for GSSD? GSSD’s projected enrolment for September 2021 is set to be approximately 127.50 lower than the previous year. Enrolment numbers are established with the support of local in-school administrators, year over year (straight- line) projections, and a software package called Barager Demographics. Though we are expecting the grant revenues for GSSD to increase slightly ($375,000) for the upcoming school year, the division’s associated expenses have also increased at a much high

  • White Bear First Nations' Participation in World Wars
    boundaries eh; just a territory which was Sioux or Cree and you couldn’t go west because the Blackfoot were controlling the foothills and mountain areas. That’s my understanding (WBFNs Elder George Sparvier, 2012). That was the Riel Rebellion. The paranoia of the soldiers and the people; they sent them down here. Grandfather was registered in Turtle Mountain. (During the Riel Rebellion) They didn’t want them to get involved in the Riel Rebellion (WBFNs Elder Almer Standingready, 2012). Especially the young men. So a number of them went down (to Turtle Mountain) (WBFNs Elder Phyllis Gibson, 2012) Upon the end of this rebellion, the Government of Canada convicted 19 Métis and 33 natives of offenses related to the uprising. Ironically, only a few Métis were hanged but Canadians witnessed a mass hanging of non-Métis native people who participated in the rebellion. Cree Chiefs Big Bear, Poundmaker, and One Arrow were each found guilty of treason-felony, and sentenced to three years in Stoney Mountain Penitentiary. A fourth Chief, the Dakota leader White Cap, was acquitted of charges despite being a member of Riel’s Exovedate9 Council (Canadian Encyclopedia, 2012). After the Northwest/ Riel Rebellion the Government instituted a series of repressive policies against the indigenous peoples. These measures, which went against the spirit of the treaties, included forcible confinement to Reserves, the dismantling of aboriginal culture and the removal of children to residential schools for assimilation (Stonechild, 2007). These measures were in stark contrast to the results of the first resistance in Manitoba and had deep and lasting effects upon indigenous peoples in Canada including the White Bear First Nations, despite the fact that White Bear did not participate in the Rebellion.

  • Figure 8: Treaty 4 Adhesion-Original Moose Mountain Reserves
    the year before gave their adhesion to the Treaty. Those signing included: Wah-pee- makwa; The White Bear; Okanes; Payepot; Le Coup de Pheasant (Pheasant Rump); and Kitchi-kah-me-win (Ocean Man). Although the Reserve of the Chief Wahpemakwas (White Bear) descendants was geographically located in the western regions of Treaty 2, White Bear signed the Treaty 4 adhesion in 1875, and accepted a Reserve on the southeast flank of the Moose Mountains in 1877. This Reserve was established for the use and benefit of both the Nuh kaw e and Cree Bands living in the region. While White Bears Cree and Saulteaux members did explore some agricultural activities after the establishment of this Reserve, they preferred and continued to follow their traditional lifestyle of hunting, fishing, trapping and gathering on the Reserve and throughout the area (Thompson, C., 2006) Due to pressures for farmland at the turn of the 20th century, land speculators pressured Canada to force the surrender of the Pheasant Rump #68 and the Ocean Man #69 First Nation Reserves in the nearby Moose Mountains. In 1901, a total of 47,100 acres of land were surrendered to Canada and the members of Pheasant Rump and Ocean Man were moved to the White Bear Reserve. The amalgamation in 1901 intensified the association of the languages and cultures of the different tribal affiliations. Recently Pheasant Rump and Ocean Man have successfully regained independent reserves however White Bear still retains many family association and cultural effects of the forced amalgamation.
