Saskatchewan Aboriginal Education Initiatives

Saskatchewan Aboriginal Education Initiatives

The Saskatchewan Education Ministry has created this site as a provincial response to formulate educational recommendations to better meet the needs of the growing Aboriginal population in the province. The initiative was also influenced from the findings of the Royal Commission of Aboriginal peoples. The province went a step further to create the Aboriginal Education Units K-12 which is linked to the site, as well as creating an annotated bibliography and extensive list of web resources. There are dialogue questions that encourage teachers to reflect on what constructivism will look like in the class room and what a transformative approach will mean to their practice. Within the resources section there are targeted subject areas with related information and sources.
