Four Directions Graduation Coach
吀e Four Directions First Nations, Métis, and Inuit Graduation Coach Approach has been implemented in all Lakehead Public Secondary Schools.
“Four Directions isn’t a program; it’s an approach - a different way of working to support students while increasing capacity and culture within a school. It is my mission to assist in the development of Indigenous leaders and professionals within all 昀elds of work so that our children see a re昀ection of themselves everywhere they go.”
