Comprehensive, coordinated & whole school approaches
This page lists examples, resources, guides, assessment tools and other materials that illustrate comprehensive (multiple issues, multiole levels, schools being part of a community-wide effort), coordinated school & community programs and whole school approaches to promoting the health, learning and social development of aboriginal students.
Comprehensive Approaches
MNC’s Métis Health & Wellbeing Research Portal provides access to a National Holistic Health & Wellbeing Framework that considers health determinants, lists currently available programs, services, and existing needs.
Coordinated School-Agency-Community Programs
Whole School Programs
The Eskasoni Elementary and Middle School is a band-owned school in the Eskasoni First Nation in Cape Breton, with students from Kindergarten to Grade 9. The school follows provincial curriculum, and offers a Mi’kmaq language immersion program from Kindergarten to Grade 3 that has been positively evaluated. The school has tailored the PATHS (Promoting Alternative Thinking Strategies) program from the US, to work with its Aboriginal students. Called the EMPATHIC program at Eskasoni, it is based upon the medicine wheel and was developed to reflect Aboriginal culture and language. This comprehensive program promotes emotional and social competencies and reduces aggression and behaviour problems while simultaneously enhancing the educational process in the classroom.
