The season of professional development is upon us!

Professional development and teacher training are key to an educator's growth.  After all, who knows the value of learning better than teachers? PD for teachers includes workshops and seminars as well as literature that guides best-practices and tips for teaching. Both are designed to enhance educator knowledge, skills, and expertise in your professional practice. The Treaty Education team offers online and virtual training as well as a suite of materials for teaching found on our website.

Join us for a session and/or check out our webpage. 

Let's Talk Treaty: Frontier School Division and Treaty Education 

The Treaty Education team has a Grade 12 School-Initiated-Course centred on Treaties. The course document and complementary materials are available on request. To date, several Manitoba schools have successfully delivered the one-credit offering. 

Frontier School Division was key in the piloting of the course and continue to be a supporter, offering it during the 2022-23 school year. 

Check out this episode of Let's Talk Treaty featuring Frontier School Division's Reg Klassen, Chief Superintendent and April Krahn, Assistant Superintendent Indigenous Way of Life. 

Mark your calendars! The dates for this year's Treaty Education training have been set.

TREATY ED in the classroom

What are our In-School Support Teachers up to? 

IN-SCHOOL SUPPORT TEACHER: Penny Ross

“ Last fall, I facilitated a number of classroom sessions with a grade 5 class at École Stonewall Centennial School. Students worked on a Classroom Treaty using the 4 Principles of Treaty which are kindness, respect, sharing and honesty. The Classroom Treaty helped students create a sense of Treaty community in their classroom and school, and replaced the usual classroom agreement. Students were eager to explain how they included the 4 Principles of Treaty in their agreement. They readily gave examples of each principle such as what First Nations people would have shared with one another pre-contact. This led to an understanding of the spirit and intent of Treaty by the students. Note – Student names were signed around the Classroom Treaty." 

Our In-School Support Team is here to help! We can support you in the classroom in-person or virtually. We offer:

• Co-teaching Treaty Education lessons
• Help in implementing Treaty Education Kit resources
• Tips on incorporating local Treaty history
• Support for PLCs and staff professional development
• We also offer French language support for Immersion and French classes. Make sure to note that you would like our French-speaking In-School Support teacher when you book.
