Indian and Metis Education Policy from Kindergarten to Grade 12. Saskatchewan Education, April 1989. [Revised.]
Saskatchewan Dept. of Education, Regina.
This booklet outlines Saskatchewan Department of Education policies concerning education of American Indian and Metis peoples. These policies are guided by four principles: full participation of Indian and Metis peoples in the educational system; recognition and adjustment by the educational system to cultural differences; cooperation and coordination of efforts by educational authorities at all levels; and the importance of the school-community level in educational improvement efforts. The Department of Education will develop and implement programs and initiatives in seven broad areas: (1) development and review of policy on Indian and Metis education; (2) increasing Indian and Metis participation in the education system as Department advisors, teachers, and other educators; (3) development of Native curriculum and instructional materials; (4) special needs projects (e.g., alternative education programs, home-school liaison programs, tutorial program, and English-as-second-language programs); (5) teacher and administrator preservice and inservice education; (6) research and evaluation; and (7) liaison and coordination. An appendix contains principles and guidelines for Indian and Metis curriculum development. (SV)
