Resource Overview 1

Are you looking for ideas to encourage attendance of First Nations, Métis and Inuit students? We realize we cannot address all the factors that impact attendance for First Nation, Métis and Inuit students, but we can make an effort. The digital resource Walking Together: First Nations, Métis and Inuit Perspectives in Curriculum from Alberta Education is filled with cultural information, Indigenous practices and pedagogical approaches that will support district-wide or school-based approaches for improving student attendance. For a sample from this resource, listen to the late Métis Elder Victor Prinz speak about educating children. This interview is located in the Respecting Wisdom section of the Indigenous Pedagogy topic area.
