Manitoba First Nations Education Resource Centre Inc. (MFNERC)
Now in its 19th year of operation, the Manitoba First Nations Education Resource Centre is proud to acknowledge Manitoba’s First Nations operated schools by celebrating their accomplishments. First Nations educational and political leadership recognize that the knowledge and culture entrenched in community history and practice has to be what paves the way to ensuring that schools and students thrive. Unity and collaborative efforts are what have produced ground breaking initiatives, resources and curricula. Without the foundation of the Dakota, Ojibwe, Cree, Ojibwe-Cree and Dene languages, cultures and traditions, this would not have been possible. Many of the First Nations have moved beyond reconciliation by embracing their rich heritage to ensure healthy and culturally based learning environments. In the past year, there has been the creation of a Manitoba First Nations School System. It is a winning outcome of the concerted efforts of schools and community leadership working hand in hand.
This year’s Lighting the Fire will showcase workshops that exemplify the reclamation of language, culture and traditions and how they are manifested in school projects, initiatives, curricula and school planning. The First Nations school system will be highlighted featuring the schools involved and what this has meant in all areas related to the educational operations of the community.
Some Workshop Topics Include:
- Alternative Education: Thinking Outside the Box
- Retiring in 5 Years – Sources of Income
- Teaching Empathy Through Animated Stories
- Holding Culture, Language & Tradition in First Nations
- Make Your (Power) Point with Self-publishing
- Changing the Way We Teach with AR/VR in the Classroom
- Breaking Down Activities to Build Student Success
- SOAR – Using Digital Assessment in Your Classrooms
- Self-Management for the Culturally Responsive Educator
- Introduction to Robotics with Dash & Dot
- The Impact of Geometry on Arts and Crafts
- Indigenous Humour
- Using Technology to Support Math Curriculum Implementation
- Managing Challenging Behaviour
- Ojibway Language Immersion and Culture Camp – Ebb and Flow First Nation
- Exploring Mathematics Support Documents for Teachers (Grades 5-8)
