TRADES, TRAINING, AND APPRENTICESHIPS Several meetings have transpired over the spring and summer of 2010, with respect to the apprenticeship program planning. Apprenticeship research, planning and negotiations took place during the 2010-2011 year to plan to offer an early childhood education pre-apprenticeship course, in partnership with Northern College, to begin in April 2011. A proposal was drafted in partnership with Northern College in the amount of $175,787 to fund the delivery of the pre-apprenticeship program.

In July of 2010, KTEI negotiated with Fleming College for the delivery of the BEAHR program to commence in October 2010. This program was fully funded in the amount of $116,816 which included tuition, books, materials, and employer wage subsidies.

In addition, KTEI also received funding in the amount of $38,016 for an enhanced business capacity development project related to apprenticeships. This project is currently underway.

An apprenticeship action plan has been developed to ensure the existing and new students have the opportunity to remain in their home communities and proceed to the next level of apprenticeship training with access to opportunities.

ABORIGINAL RELATIONSHIP FUND - To date, KTEI has initiated all strategic steps to effectively achieve the proposal objectives and deliverables of the business enhancement project. A Project Coordinator was hired for a 3 month contract to provide direct leadership towards meeting all the objectives of the enhanced business capacity project.

LOCAL INITIATIVES FUND – KTEI received approval for a $5,000 contribution towards the Business of Art workshop held at the OCF. We had 64 participants attend the workshops over a two day period.

CANADIAN APPRENTICESHIP FORUM PARTNERSHIP - Provided direct managerial support to the Project Coordinator to meet all key performance metrics for the effective delivery of the Essential Skills workshop and the Employer Engagement Strategy. Both workshops were very successful. KTEI managed to leverage more than $16,000 in specific project training dollars from our partner to cover both initiatives in full.

KTEI has successfully completed the following programs during this quarter:1. ARF Employer Engagement Strategy – Achieved a 95% overall goals and objectives 2. Emerging Sectors Building Environmental Aboriginal Human Resources project – 8 Graduates Phase I

and 7 Graduates for Phase II3. Essential Skills Training Workshop – 34 participants and 5 employers4. Employer Engagement – 30 Businesses

Primarily for economy of scale reasons, KTSS recently patnered with UCCM to offer a better resourced secondary school program. A program that is better positioned to offer enhanced services, support delivery, outcomes in credit accumulation including tutorial support, literacy skills development, cultural infusion, counseling sessions, Elder guidance and special education services with Individual Education Plans. This partnership is intended to meet the needs for students in our member communities where the mainstream secondary school system has typically not met the learning style needs of the students who have a wide variety of lifestyles and circumstances.

SUCCESSESKTSS students have developed a mutually respective rapport with the secondary school and other KTEI staff. Students are held in high regard for accountability, work ethics, high expectations in their education path, and balancing personal lives. The Secondary School teachers demonstrate passion, commitment and respect for their students and work.

The KTSS team knows that every student who comes to school is success. The team members create an environment for learning that is safe, caring, and culturally inclusive and then get out of the way.

• Students are retained if they completed a minimum of 3 lessons per week/course.• Twenty-eight (28) students were registered with an average of 15 students retained full time daily.• A partnership with Keewaytinook Internet High School (KiHS) provides e-learning courses.• A class set of lap top computers are provided for students.• A partnership with RDSB/MSS for outdoor education continues in its third year.• An elder-in-residence compliments the secondary school program.

local community partnerships and volunteers, the M’Chigeeng March Break Environmental Leadership Camp came to be.

A full week of fun outdoor and indoor activities were planned to keep the kids busy. “We went snow shoeing to the Recycling & Waste Transfer Station and had an informative tour by Mr. Jason Taibossigai and we built eco-slides and tested them out at the gravel pit… that was super fun!” says Lynzii. “We also walked to Ann Beam’s Neon Raven Art Gallery to learn about solar power and Adobe home construction. We also (tried) to go ice fishing at Otter Lake, but with the mild weather that week, the ice was more slush than ice and it was wet!”

The camp was open to two age groups, 6 to 16 year olds with the 13 to 16 year olds participating in an Oshkabewis (helper) mentorship role. The camp was delivered as a pilot project to introduce Sustainability, Anishnaabe Environmental Knowledge, and the Ecological Footprint and to inspire kids to reconnect with Mother Earth. Each day had a different theme; reduce, reuse, recycle, respect and rethink. Activities were tied into each theme throughout the week, such as reuse – the kid’s reused discarded cardboard from the Recycling Center to make eco-slides to go sliding! And respect – Isadora Bebamash was invited to share some water teachings with the kids and to teach them the water song which the kids loved!

OJIBWE IMMERSION AND SCIENCE CAMPKTEI held the second Ojibwe Language Immersion and Science Camp on August 04-05, 2010 at the AOK traditional pow-wow grounds. This event was attended by staff, students, community members and families, with a total of 60 participants over the two days.

The First Nation Student Success Program (FNSSP) is a proposal-driven program designed to support First Nation educators on reserve (Kindergarten to Grade 12) in their ongoing efforts to meet their students’ needs and improve student and school results. KTEI oversees management of program and ensures the following three component areas of the program are being met:

1. School Success Plans: To introduce a consistent and comprehensive school success plan and support the development and implementation of activities outlined within the plan;

2. Student Learning Assessments: The results of student learning assessments are used to identify areas for improvement. At a minimum, schools will participate in their respective provincial standard testing process. The FNSSP will support First Nation schools in selecting and implementing student achievement testing tools; and

3. Performance Measurement: To support a First Nation school’s ability to monitor the prog-ress of students, manage schools and program-related information, and make it easier to gather, analyse and report on financial and performance indicators.

In particular, the program will help First Nation educators to plan and make improvements in the three pri-ority areas of literacy, numeracy and student retention.

STUDENT ASSESSMENTS - STANDARDIZED TESTING IN THE 10 PARTICIPATING SCHOOLSThe 10 participating First Nation schools participated in an array of standardized tests this fiscal year. They included: Nelson Canada’s “PM Benchmark” for students in Kindergarten to Grade 3; Pearson Canada’s “Developmental Read-ing Assessment” (DRA) for students in Grades 4 through to Grade 8; and Nelson Canada’s “Canadian Tests of Basic Skills” (CTBS) Mathematics subtests for students in the elementary panel and the CTBS battery for the secondary students. These assessments served to provide baseline data for future programming and mapping of improvement in the areas of Literacy and Mathematics. PM & DRA assessments are administered at the beginning and end of the school year. Some mid-year testing is required for some students. These assessments will be aggregated in a FNSSP report for all schools.

PM BENCHMARKS AND DRAThe LRTs coordinated with the participating schools on convenient times to administer Reading Assessments (i.e., PM Benchmarks and DRA). The LRTs have reported that the pre- and post-assessments for the DRA and PM Bench-mark were completed in each of the 10 participating schools. Upon completion of the assessments, the LRTs scored the tests and provided the results promptly to the administrator and teaching staff. The assessment results were provided to the schools in the form of assessment binders, student files as well as Fluid Tracking Boards. The scores were also provided to each school electronically to each Data Entry Designate via the FNSSP Project Assistant which were then entered into the First Nation Online Student Registry (Trevlac System).

25

CANADIAN TESTS OF BASIC SKILLS (CTBS)In order to create baseline data for Numeracy and thus to create a Numeracy goal for the School Improvement Plans, the Professional Development Seminars (PDS) consultants travelled to nine of the 10 participating schools to admin-ister the CTBS Mathematics subtests. Similarly, in order to create baseline data for the School Improvement Plans at the secondary level, the entire CTBS battery was administered by the PDS consultants. All schools were provided with the scores for each individual student, in addition to being presented with aggregate data. CTBS testing, for those students who received initial assessment, will be retested in May-June 2011.

PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENTKTEI FNSSP purchased the of services from Trevlac Registry Services Incorporated for subscriptions for 10 participat-ing schools to the First Nations Online Student Registry (i.e., Internet-based database for managing data collected within First Nation schools). The database provides the ability to aggregate data from the participating schools for data analysis and reporting purposes. (August 2009).

The School Services Officer (SSO), has been working with our 10 FNSSP schools to enter their school, student, and testing data into this on-line data management reporting system our FNSSP schools.

SSO has also created a tracking template for our FNSSP schools to plot their PM/DRA testing scores.

The database provides the ability to aggregate data from the participating schools for data analysis and reporting purposes.

Our Software Language Tool (Can8) is in the development process. Our Native Language Cultural Coordinators are working diligently in planning and inputting lessons in different areas. The modules continue to be placed on the Cab8 system for use by Native Language Teachers.
