FRAMEWORK FOR ENHANCING STUDENT LEARNING - CALL FOR MÉTIS VOLUNTEERS
MNBC is thrilled to share an exciting opportunity to have Métis voices heard in the K-12 Education System.
The Framework for Enhancing Student Learning brings a formalized approach to the planning and reporting expectations for schools, with a focus on enhancing student learning and success. It combines accountability with evidence-informed decision making and system-wide continuous improvement to support equity of outcomes for all students in the provincial K-12 public system. The Framework also reflects a public commitment by Indigenous peoples, Indigenous rightsholders, education partners and communities to work together to improve student learning and enhance the intellectual, social and career development of all learners.
The Ministry of Education and Child Care has extended an invitation to dedicated Métis Educators and Education Advocates to share Métis perspectives in an important equity-building process that will transform the K-12 learning landscape across BC. There is no limit to the number of volunteers we can put forward, and all meetings will be held virtually.
