Education Reform is responsible to assist in moving First Nations Education forward in the most culturally and linguistically appropriate ways.  Rethinking how numeracy and literacy can be enhanced by the integration of our perspectives will only serve to make our schools the educational learning environments that First Nations children, youth and adults will choose for the search to find out who they are, where they come from, where they are going and how to get there. 

Assisting in the revitalization, preservation and promotion of First Nations languages. Language Fluency is our Main Objective!

The Service Delivery Unit provides support which addresses the need for school planning and administrative leadership.

This unit consists of a staff of Special Education Specialists, a Community Wellness Specialist, a Speech and Language Pathologist, a Special Education Instructor and a Program Liason Officer. The goal of the SEU is to assist in building foundations for the development of Resource/ Special Education Programs using best practices and reflecting the unique needs and values of First Nations communities in Manitoba. Currently, the SEU has three training programs; Speech and Language Pathologist (SLP) training program, Para Educator Rehabilitation Assistant (PERA) program, and the Resource Inclusive Special Education (RISE) Teacher training program (RISE). Both the RISE and PERA training programs will be available via Web CT. The participants in these programs are First Nations individuals working in Manitoba First Nations communities. The only full time training program is the SLP. The RISE and PERA programs are designed to train and support the participants working in classrooms so that they are able to immediately implement their training.
