This is a self-assessment tool that is designed for administrators to use to reflect on their schools’ success in supporting smooth transitions for students. We know that schools are generally welcoming to students who arrive in September or at other expected transition times, but sometimes in the hectic world of schools the important work to welcome, orient and support new students is overlooked. Many students who transfer at unexpected times are in challenging circumstances and need transition support. I encourage you to support your school administrators in establishing strong communication and relationship protocols that support smooth student transitions. See the preamble and the rubric itself for further details.

For this project, I began by creating a web about "Snow" and where I thought the topic could lead to with the students. Next I started a "Snow" web with the students and had them tell me all that they knew about snow. After that we came up with some questions about snow and what we wanted to learn. From there, I provided some invitations for the students in the classroom to explore and learn from.
This resource evolves from there; from discussing what we can do to stay warm in winter, learning poems and songs, reading books, doing gross and fine motor activities before finally building an igloo.

This booklet is written by Spirit Bear as a youth-friendly guide to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada (TRC) 94 Calls to Action.
In 2008, a group called the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) was made. Their job was to listen to stories about residential schools and then write the stories down so we can learn from our mistakes. In 2015, the Truth and Reconciliation Commission announced their 94 Calls to Action. These are 94 activities all governments, courts, businesses, schools, and people living in Canada can do to help fix the mistakes of the past and present so that all children – including First Nations, Métis, and Inuit children – can grow up happy, healthy, safe, and proud of who they are.

The First Peoples of Canada recognize certain members of their communities for their ability as storytellers. The skillful art of storytelling is passed down from one generation to another by chosen, recognized or hereditary storytellers.
Some stories are shared at certain times of the year, in designated areas and on special occasions. As well, parents, family members and Elders share their knowledge with the younger generations in the course of their daily activities.
The stories we want to share with you here are from the Inuvialuit, the Algonquin, the Métis and Cree, the Nisga'a, the Abenaki and the Mi'kmaq. They are told through movement, song and dance, using symbols and imagination. They teach us about the origin of sacred objects and ceremonies, and our relationship to the animals, plants, rocks and each other.
