The students were on the lookout for different kinds of soil to study as part of their Science unit. They got a lot more than they were expecting when they spotted frog spawn floating in a swampy creek. The egg mass was carefully collected, and a new home was created in the classroom. It didn't take long for the eggs to grow into lots of swimming tadpoles! Everyone is excited to witness the next stage of growth to froglets. We did get some soil samples to examine, but even more exciting was the amount of clay discovered on the beach. Each student brought some back to school to use for making sculptures in Art. You never know what you might find when you go out exploring. The Grade 3's are looking forward to the next adventure - bridge building over that swampy creek so they can release the froglets back into the wild! 3 KEEWAYTINOOK OKIMAKANAK Summer 2018 BOARD OF EDUCATION KOBE DLFNS Willow Fiddler Teaches Photography to Lines Lines Lines Submitted by: Adela D’Souza KO Students Grade 3 Teacher Submitted by: Katie Burch st KOBE 21 Century Technology Lead The Grade 3 class has been studying the various kinds of In April and May, Willow Fiddler, a lines in Visual Art class this year. video journalist for APTN, visited students in Keewaywin and Fort Severn to share In April, each student created a her knowledge of photography. unique Easter Bunny to display in the hallways at DLFNS.

  • Assessing the Influence of First Nation Education Counsellors on First Nation Post-Secondary Students and Their Program Choices
    Assessing the Influence of First Nation Education Counsellors on First Nation Post-Secondary Students and their Program Choices by Pamela Williamson A dissertation submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Higher Education Graduate Department of Theory and Policy Studies in Education Ontario Institute for Studies in Education of the University of Toronto © Copyright by Pamela Williamson (2011) Assessing the Influence of First Nation Education Counsellors on First Nation Post-Secondary Students and their Post-Secondary Program Choices Doctor of Higher Education 2011 Pamela Williamson Department of Theory and Policy Studies in Education University of Toronto Abstract The exploratory study focused on First Nation students and First Nation education counsellors within Ontario. Using an interpretative approach, the research sought to determine the relevance of the counsellors as a potentially influencing factor in the students‘ post-secondary program choices. The ability of First Nation education counsellors to be influential is a consequence of their role since they administer Post- Secondary Student Support Program (PSSSP) funding. A report evaluating the program completed by Indian and Northern Affairs Canada in 2005 found that many First Nation students would not have been able to achieve post-secondary educational levels without PSSSP support. Eight self-selected First Nation Education counsellors and twenty-nine First Nation post- secondary students participated in paper surveys, and five students and one counsellor agreed to complete a follow-up interview. The quantitative and qualitative results revealed differences in the perceptions of the two survey groups as to whether First Nation education counsellors influenced students‘ post-secondary program choices.

  • Denise Dwyer Assistant Deputy Minister Indigenous Education and Well-Being Division
    Memorandum to: Directors of Education First Nation Education Partners From: Denise Dwyer Assistant Deputy Minister Indigenous Education and Well-Being Division Subject Reciprocal Education Approach: School Eligibility Documentation We would like to begin by thanking you for your continued work in supporting continuity of learning for First Nation students over the course of this past year. As we continue with the implementation of the Reciprocal Education Approach (REA), we have seen the need to be flexible and reduce unnecessary administrative burden where possible to support First Nation students to have equitable access to education. Accordingly, amendments have been made to section 3 of O. Reg. 261/19 (Reciprocal Education Approach) to waive the requirement for First Nation-operated schools previously listed in Table 2 of the regulation to submit documentation to the ministry demonstrating school eligibility. These schools are no longer required to submit this documentation in order to be eligible for funding under the REA in the 2020-21 school year and subsequent school years. The list of eligible schools in Table 1 of section 3 of O. Reg. 261/19 has been updated to include all First Nation-operated schools previously listed on Table 2 of section 3 of the regulation. The updated list of eligible schools can be found in Appendix A, and will be posted on the ministry website and in the 2021-22 REA Instructions. Please note, First Nation-operated schools wishing to participate in the REA who are not listed in the updated Table 1 of the REA Regulation will still be required to submit eligibility documentation to the ministry by October 30 of a given school year to be eligible for REA funding for that school year and subsequent school years.

Before it got it's Indigenous name, it was known as the Social Services Framework. Opening it's doors in the Lower Level of the Matawa Building in Thunder Bay, Awashishewiigiihiwaywin was established in response to the Matawa Chiefs call for the development of community-based, culturally appropriate and responsive models for chil- dren with a focus on prevention and family reunification. It was also established in keeping with child welfare legislation that changed on January 1, 2020. The act clearly indicates that no Indigenous child should be apprehended solely on the basis or as a result of his or her socio-economic conditions, including poverty, lack of housing or related infrastructure, or state of health of the child's parent or care provider. Awashishewiigiwaywiin provides assistance to families from the Matawa First Nations (both on and off-reserve) who are at-risk of child welfare involvement, have open files, or IN THIS ISSUE: have had children apprehended. It also supports families from the Matawa First Nations with Customary Care Agreements, Kinship Agreements, and advocacy.
