Thank you for your interest in applying for the Educator Advisory Committee for Legacy Schools.

DWF Educator Advisory Committee for Legacy Schools will consist of members of First Nations, Inuit, Métis and non-Indigenous educators who will advise on educational resources and program development for Legacy Schools to help ensure that the unique interests, rights and perspectives of Indigenous peoples are recognized and implemented in schools and communities throughout Canada. Members will also help assess and evaluate the impact of Legacy Schools, furthering DWF’s mission to improve the lives of Indigenous people by building awareness, education, and connections between all Canadians.

The Educator Advisory Committee for Legacy Schools will advise current and future programs and participate in their development and quality assurance as needed. Committee members will also assist in identifying resources, including guest speakers, field placement, partnerships and various opportunities to further Legacy Schools programming.
Educator Advisory Committee members are ambassadors and liasions between the Downie Wenjack Fund, schools, students, educators and the community.

Appointment to the Committee is one two-year term, and when applicable, a second term may be added. Meetings will typically be held virtually two or three times per year.

Please note that participation in the Educator Advisory Committee is by invitation only. DWF is looking for a diverse set of skills and perspectives to best inform and support the Legacy Schools Program. Only those selected will be contacted after the May 31, 2019 deadline. Thank you in advance for your understanding and cooperation.
