Academic support teachers for Indigenous students Grades 1-4
The Academic support for Indigenous students' program is a literacy and numeracy remediation program that targets specific student needs based on diagnostic assessments. You can contact one of our academic support teachers for more information:
Each group of students has program goals that they work towards throughout the sessions. The significant factor is using a relationship-based approach to aid in achieving each of the student goals. Sessions are student centered, holistic and focused on helping each student gain confidence in their abilities. Small groups were created based on ability and keeping in mind common goals of the students, where possible one on one sessions were also conducted. Communication with families, homeroom teachers and other school support staff was also a key component. This ensured that all of us are working together to help improve, enrich and strengthen each of our student's minds, knowledge and lives.
First Nations, Metis and Inuit student support workers, K to 12
Student Support Workers work directly with First Nations, M茅tis, and Inuit students, their families, and school staff on matters related to student achievement, cultural inclusiveness, and building trusting relationships.
Their goals are to assist First Nations, M茅tis, and Inuit students by helping to improve student achievement, provide cultural learning opportunities, create greater opportunities for success in education and help foster an understanding and an appreciation for Indigenous Peoples in all our school communities.
Support provided could look like one-on-one or group work to support academics, checking in with students to ensure they are happy and successful at school, and cultural activities and programming. All supports and programming are based off of student voice as well as parent and guardian voice.
Graduation Coach for Indigenous students
Graduation coaches help to identify and remove barriers to better enable Indigenous students to engage in school and to facilitate their learning, well-being and achievement.
Here are some additional ways that the graduation coach supports Indigenous students:
- Establish trusting relationships with Indigenous students, their families and communities, so they have a greater level of confidence in the student's education
- Identify strategies, milestones, and indicators to support Indigenous students to achieve credits, graduate and transition successfully into their chosen post-secondary pathway
