First Nation Student Success Program
There First Nation Student Success Program (FNSSP) is a national proposal-driven program, funded by the Indigenous and Northen Affairs Canada (INAC), designed to help First Nation educators on reserve (Kindergarten to Grade 12) improve school results.
The Government of Canada's overarching goal is to provide First Nation students with quality education that provides them with the opportunity to acquire the skills needed to enter the labour market and be full participants in a strong Canadian economy. To help meet this goal, INAC is continually seeking new ways to enable First Nation educators to deliver the best possible programs for First Nation children and youth, allowing a greater learning experience and improve student/school results.
The First Nation Student Success Program has three interrelated components:
School Success Plans: That set out goals, activities and targets for improving student achievement levels in the three priority levels (literacy, numeracy and student retention)
Student Learning Assessments: These assessments support the school success planning process. Schools participate in their respective provincial standard testing process. Assessment results should be used to identify areas for improvement
Performance Measurement: For schools to assess, report and take steps to accelerate progress made by students and schools. It allows schools to set targets, monitor results and report to parents and communities on how students are doing
Anishinaabe Student Achievement Program
The Anishinaabe Student Achievement (ASA) Program is supported by Indigenous and Northen Affairs Canada Under the First Nation Student Success Program. Following the same guidelines, the ASA has focused on developing a common literacy, numeracy and student success programming in all six of our First Nation elementary and two high schools. The ASA has also implemented common assessment in these areas. Other areas of support include Anishinaabe language and culture, information technology support, coaching on the use of technology in the classroom and extra-curricular and after-school programs.
Bimose Tribal Council's Anishinaabe Student Achievement (ASA) Program has evolved over the past six years and will continue to evolve. We respond to community needs with the goal of supporting the development of a quality educational program within our communities. Our governance model includes a direct input and advice from our communities Education Directors, school administration and community leadership.
The ASA Program has been extremely successful in providing professional development opportunities to teachers and administrators in our schools. The use of best practices in teacher education is an essential component of assisting with this professional growth, support and development.
