FNESC promotes the sharing of information through conferences, workshops and
regional sessions.
The largest conference of the year is our Provincial Conference on Aboriginal
Education, which draws approximately 800 educators from First Nations schools,
public schools and other education bodies. This conference is hosted
jointly by FNESC and the BC Ministry of Education.
16th Annual Provincial Conference on Aboriginal Education - Norming Excellence November 18-20, 2010 Westin Bayshore, Vancouver
The conference offers a unique networking and learning opportunity for educators from public schools, First Nations schools and independent schools. The conference theme, Norming Excellence, reflects the importance of setting high expectations for all Aboriginal students, ourselves and our schools.
