MBTRC Spring 2018 Forum MTS, Winnipeg, MB. May 11, 2018 Teacher Inquiry Project: The SCIENCE AMBASSADOR Program Presenter: Adrianna Sawchyn, Senior Science Teacher, MBCI, Kelsey School Division [email protected]Affiliation: Coordinator of the Science Ambassador Program Collaboration between Kelsey School Division, Opaskwayak Educational Authority, University College of the North and University of Saskatchewan What were our Goals of the Science Ambassador Program? The aims of the Science Ambassador Program are: To provide teachers and students with exciting hands-on science experiences To have the Science Ambassadors serve as academic role models to youth To form relational partnerships with teachers, schools, and communities with the goal of generating best-practices and dialogue to enhance Aboriginal students’ perceptions of and experiences within science teaching and learning, at all levels What did we do to achieve these Goals? The Science Ambassador Program selects senior undergraduate or graduate students from the University of Saskatchewan or University College of the North with a background in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) disciplines. These Science Ambassadors work alongside teachers from Kelsey School Division and Opaskwayak Educational Authority to support creative and culturally relevant science teaching and learning. Science Ambassadors are hosted by our community for a six-week placement, allowing time and space for relationship-building, two-way learning, and bridge building between local priorities and K-12 science curricula.
