Yellowknife Education District No. 1
As a means to better understand how culture-based education is being implemented, I researched the Northern community of Yellowknife to view their school district page. The district Website reports that Aboriginal students account for approximately 25% of enrolment in Yellowknife Education District No. 1 and that they are spread out across eight schools.
The school district lists their YK1 Strategic Direction as:
To ensure that students and staff are engaged in, and value Aboriginal Language and Culture-Based Education.
The following strategic goals indicate how the strategic direction will be implemented:
- To support staff to integrate culturally relevant learning opportunities into instructional programming
- To build capacity to increase the human resource base for the instruction of Aboriginal Language and Culture-Based programs
- To develop and support programs that promote the social and emotional well-being of Aboriginal students
- To promote and support Aboriginal Language and Culture- Based Education for all students
- To strengthen relationships with the Aboriginal community
- To revise Board procedures for the delivery of Aboriginal Education
