The success of a recent initiative that brought together 100 Indigenous secondary students from across the Abbotsford School District with the University of the Fraser Valley (UFV) is being celebrated. On November 15th, students from grades 10-12 had the unique opportunity to immerse themselves in a full-day experience at UFV, exploring various academic programs and learning about the specific supports available for Indigenous students at the university.
TEACHER REFLECTION: At the end of the course, students are given the opportunity to reflect on their semester by creating a poster of their highlights or big takeaways. This is done by creating 6 categories that they can choose to reflect upon. These categories are generated both by the teacher and the students. Students then share their reflection posters with the class in either small groups or a gallery style walk.
The Abbotsford Board of Education regularly meets throughout the school year. Agendas and minutes from the public Board Meetings can be accessed through the District's Electronic School Board. Below is a summary of highlights from the meeting.
