St. Paul Education and Professional Practice Standards

“When good intentions aren’t good enough.”
Educational outcomes, such as graduation and transition to post-secondary rates, for Indigenous students in our province lag significantly behind non-Indigenous students. Peter Barron from St. Paul Education will examine this “wicked problem” through a critical lens, identifying structural and systemic barriers to student success. He will provide some practical strategies to support decolonization of school divisions. Peter’s story of practice, in support of indigenous learning and building capacity of staff, includes a focus on professional learning, implementation and measuring impact.
Dr. Sharon Friesen will offer, based on her involvement in the 4 year longitudinal study, her perspectives on the research theme related to implementation.
