As part of the Métis Nation of Ontario’s Statement of Prime Purpose, the Education team is devoted:
- to encourage academic and skills development and to enable citizens of the Métis Nation to attain their educational aspirations;
- to promote the history, values, culture, languages and traditions of the Métis Nation and to create an awareness of our proud heritage
It is with that in mind that the K-12 Initiatives team was created. The K-12 Initiatives department consists of four individual teams, who all share the main goal to promote the history, values, culture and language through education. The teams include:
- K-12 Education and Partnership Advisors;
- Curriculum and Resource Advisors;
- Métis Language Initiatives; and,
- Education Support Advocates
Each of these teams help support students, teachers and families in different ways, so we encourage you to visit the links below to learn more about each team and to access resources.
Our team wants to hear from all students, caregivers and educators about the shortcomings they have noticed in Métis education at the K-12 level. With that goal in mind, we have produced a brand-new survey so that we can close those gaps in future:
