That said, there are useful pieces in here.

SCDSB Board Plan 2013-14 …  All students will benefit from classroom instruction and specific interventions that are informed by provincial, system and classroom assessments, and achievement and learning skills trends for specific student groups including but not limited to First Nation, Metis and Inuit, Special Education, English Language Learners and gender.”

SCDSB Beliefs … If schools implement the First Nation, Metis and Inuit Best Practices document and use the resources provided to schools, then First Nation, Metis and Inuit students will see themselves reflected in the curriculum and we will build the knowledge of students and staff about the rich cultures and histories of aboriginal people.
