PURPOSE & BACKGROUND:

The COO Education Sector is seeking the services of a consultant to conduct some background work and engagement to develop recommendations on a Framework for Indigenous Languages in Ontario Schools, Kindergarten to Grade 12.  This work will contribute to one of the significant focus areas of First Nations Lifelong Learning Table (FNLLT) under the guidance and support of the COO First Nations Education Coordination Unit (FNECU).  The FNLLT was established in 2016 to develop a First Nation Education Strategy based on known First Nation priorities.  The original three-year strategic plan ended in March 2020, however the FNLLT continues to work on priority areas that still require attention as a new Strategic Plan is developed.  First Nation Language is one of they key areas requiring further attention as First Nation learners in Ontario schools need access to high quality and appropriate First Nation language instruction from FN language speakers.
