As the Keewaytinook Okimakanak (KO) FNSSP Coordinator I oversee all components of the FNSSP programs for the KO Board of Education, as well as providing educational support and guidance for the KO First Nations schools. I provide leadership in the areas of updating school improvement plans alongside First Nations principals, ensuring that all students are registered for EQAO assessments [in Grade 3, 6 and 9 (where applicable)] and providing professional development through a variety of delivery modes to best support the KO Board Improvement plan (emphasizing best practices in the areas of literacy, numeracy and student retention).
