  • 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.

TEACH FOR CANADA’S 2018/2019 BOARD OF DIRECTORS Christie Kneteman (Chair) Adam Goldenberg Cynthia Wesley-Esquimaux Harry LaForme Kirk Anderson Kyle Hill Kevin Berube 2 Acknowledgements The Teach For Canada team acknowledges that we work on the traditional territory of many nations including the Mississaugas of the Credit, the Anishnabeg, the Chippewa, the Haudenosaunee, and the Wendat peoples, and is now home to many diverse First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples. We also acknowledge that Toronto is covered by Treaty 13 with the Mississaugas of the Credit.

Its lifestyle reflects a deep respect for and connection to the land. The Keewaytinook Okimakanak (KO) Tribal Council has developed the Keewaytinook Mobile (KM) service in remote First Nation communities in Northern Ontario. In November 2009, Fort Severn and KO established the KM service in the community. This study traces the history of KM and its implementation in Fort Severn and describes how and why community members are using the service.

  • 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.
