Dibaajmowin is a bi-monthly newsletter produced by the Kinoomaadziwin Education Body that shares program updates, event information, and education highlights from across the Anishinabek Education System.

In preparation of the upcoming spring season, the Kinoomaadziwin Education Body (KEB) is pleased to share this Anishinaabemowin language resource with all Participating First Nations of the Anishinabek Education System.

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!

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.

The Parent and Caregiver Special Education Handbook has been created to assist you and your family as you navigate special education. It is important to know that: Special education support is common. All children and youth learn differently and may need additional supports to succeed. Accessing supports as early as possible for your beautiful child is a factor in their school success at the educational level. These supports can also contribute to their overall physical, emotional, intellectual and spiritual health.

This tool is intended for use by parents, students, and/or community members of the Anishinabek Education System who are looking for support to address racialized incidents, within education settings.  Read more about the tool on our Addressing Racism and Inequities in Schools page, at www.aes-keb.com/addressingracism
