| dc.description.abstract | Abstract This project proposes to raise awareness about initiatives that have been undertaken to increase Aboriginal student achievement in British Columbia and Canada. Aboriginal student success continues to be an ongoing concern both provincially and federally. This paper will examine possible historical causes for low success rates and suggest ways to combat the negative effects of colonialism and attempts at assimilation by becoming allies for Aboriginal education. Acknowledging the need for change involves educating ourselves about the history of Aboriginal education, current initiatives to increase student success and finding ways in which we can contribute. To become allies we must accept the responsibility of adopting the goals of Aboriginal Education Enhancement Agreements (EA’s), responding to the 94 recommendations of Canada’s Truth and Reconciliation Commission and implementing the First People’s Principles of Learning into our practice. | en_US |
