Building Brighter Futures: Bursaries, Scholarships, and Awards

As Indigenous educati on stakeholders, we know there are innovati ve community projects that are having an impact on K-12 Indigenous educati on. These important practi ces need to be honoured and showcased so that communiti es can be recognized for their innovati on.

However, many of these projects have not established the means of reporti ng and sharing their positi ve outcomes.

What Nurturing Capacity Can Do…Indspire’s Nurturing Capacity program assists communiti es to document and share their success with educati on stakeholders across Canada through the K-12 Indspire Insti tute.

“Working with the Indspire researchers on Nurturing Capacity projects has been a real eye-opener. We’re always trying to enhance success for First Nati ons and Méti s students, but it’s hard to recognize innovati ons without assessment. Mapping our journey was the step we had been missing. Now we can celebrate our accomplishments and plan our next steps.”

Gordon Martell, Superintendent, Greater Saskatoon Catholic Schools, SK.
