Inspiring Learning
Mission Statement
FNIMmission_web.jpgEveryone has a role to play in ensuring the success of First Nations, Inuit and MΓ©tis students attending Saskatoon Public Schools.  The First Nations, Inuit and MΓ©tis Education Unit takes leadership in this area and the staff invite colleagues and stakeholders into the work of creating a better future for all students.
 
The First Nations, Inuit and MΓ©tis Education Unit works towards the fulfillment of the following goals that are aligned with the Saskatchewan Ministry of Education’s Continuous Improvement and Accountability Framework, Inspiring Success: Building Towards Student Achievement (2009) policy framework and Saskatoon Public Schools’ learning priorities:
 
  • To eliminate the learning gaps for First Nations, Inuit and MΓ©tis learners (Higher Literacy and Achievement);
  • To nurture the cultural identity of our children and youth so that they feel pride in who they are; see themselves as strong, capable learners; and experience a sense of belonging in our schools (Equitable Opportunities);
    To develop culturally responsive and inclusive learning environments (Equitable Opportunities);
  • To develop culturally responsive educators, leaders and communities (Higher Literacy and Achievement and Equitable Opportunities);
  • To engage community partners to nurture the development of our children and youth (Smooth Transitions and System Accountability and Governance); and
  • To ensure the inclusion and representation of First Nations, Inuit and MΓ©tis ways of knowing, being and doing with Saskatoon Public Schools’ policies, procedures, priorities and curricula (Higher Literacy and Achievement, Smooth Transitions and Equitable Opportunities).
