Curriculum and Resources
The goal is to develop, revise, implement, and continuously update Metis-focused curriculum and educational resources for Kindergarten to Grade 12 students.
Team Vision
Our work will directly improve outcomes, success and support for all Métis students in Ontario and increase Métis knowledge, culture, and content for all students, educators, and schools. We will utilize measurable outcomes to improve our student’s education within the current and foreseeable Ontario curriculum.
