We are delighted to confirm that Diane Klassen will be presenting an "Aboriginal Math Links--Hands-On Activities for Grades 4-6" Workshop at the A.C.E. Conference, Thursday, February 6, 2014!

Stop by again to see more workshops being posted.

Going to hear the information about Higher Education for Indigenous People at U of W, Wesley Hall this afternoon and tomorrow. Will keep you posted on the conversation.

Jacqueline's Keynote address was amazing!She spoke not only of literacy...40% of Manitobans do not have even a Level 3 benchmark [Grade 12].

But she also spoke of Health Literacy--the lack of which leaves people vulnerable in a healthcare setting; unable to read and comprehend medical forms and consent. To say nothing of legal literacy....

The statistics are amazing...if you know someone in that 40%...

• they are likely to earn less than $27,000 annually

• they are more likely to be unemployed--60% compared to 4% of the top 20%
• they are more likely to have been involved in the justice system, both as a victim and a perpetrator 
• they will live on average 17 years less the the average lifespan

Sobering numbers for those less literate
