AES Celebrates 5 Year Anniversary

On April 1, 2018, the Anishinabek Education System (AES) officially opened its doors. The establishment of a new education system is an incredible endeavour, and an exciting journey, that requires the collective efforts of many people. From students and educators to leadership and communities – each plays an important role in building the foundation for a strong and sustainable education system. Since 2018, the AES has grown tremendously!

In the following pages you will find the Anishinaabemowin and Lunaapeew translations for words and sentences related to land and land-based learning.

AES: Special Education Guideline

This guideline is intended to be a living document that will be enhanced over time as Participating First Nations develop their community Special Education Plans, Policies, Procedures, or Handbooks (The name of the product is of local choice.) There will be opportunities to share and learn from each other along the way.
