First Nation Principal's Program

On September 24-25, 2015, the Martin Aboriginal Education Initiative hosted the “First Nation Principal’s Program” at the University of Toronto. There were 21 participants from across Canada that were invited to be a part of this pilot training session. Jacky Craig, Principal of Netamisakomik Centre of Education, and Fay Zoccole, Education Navigator of Nokiiwin Tribal Council, were in attendance and included to act in the role of Course Evaluators. Craig and Zoccole are currently taking the online course and will offer recommendations of changes that will enhance the program that aimed for First Nation principals on reserve. Unlike the current training offered at universities, the First Nation Principal Course offered at OISE meets the unique needs of First Nation communities and people.
