4. Welcome to Lakehead University
Welcome back to the Honours Bachelor of Education Program.
I know that leaving the familiar surroundings of your home community and your friends
and family is often challenging. I hope that you agree with me that the benefits of
attending the HBEd program will make all your sacrifices worthwhile. We have an
excellent Aboriginal Program Coordinator, Ms. Judy Flett, who has been working hard
all year long to prepare the program for students when they arrive. Judy has prepared a
valuable information brochure that will help you during your stay here, and is here to
provide you with assistance during your studies.
We also have excellent instructors who will be working with you in your teaching and
learning experiences. Our program is designed to provide students with the training and
the expertise they need in order to be highly successful in their teaching careers. Our
focus on Aboriginal Education enables program graduates to meet the needs of all
learners.
Thunder Bay and the Faculty of Education at Lakehead University have a lot to offer
you. I know you will have a rewarding and productive summer.
Dr. John O’Meara
Dean
Faculty of Education
5. Welcome to H.B.Ed. Students from Matawa First Nations
It is my pleasure to welcome you to the 2011 Summer Session of Lakehead University’s
Honours Bachelor of Education program. All of us at Matawa First Nations recognize
the hard work required to be successful in the program, and your dedication in pursuing
your educational dreams.
For some of you, this is a new experience as you begin your journey toward obtaining
your formal teacher certification. For those of you entering your third session of summer
courses, you are the “veterans” who have been with the program since its beginning.
We hope you will be mentors to those who are beginning their studies this July and
August, and that you will share with them your experience and knowledge. Take this
opportunity to grow your professional relationships over the next few weeks – they will
be an important part of your life as a teacher.
This is an exciting time for our Matawa First Nation communities. As new opportunities
are created, the need for trained, educated people has never been greater. Education is
a critical component in building strong, healthy communities, and as teachers you are
the key to unlocking the potential in our future leaders, entrepreneurs, technicians,
professionals, and community members.
You will have busy schedules, but we invite you to visit our offices while you are in
Thunder Bay. Our Education Department has moved to new offices on the first floor,
where you will also be able to see our new Matawa Learning Centre and meet the staff
of the PASS! program who will be visiting your schools in the near future.
Matawa First Nations is pleased to continue to be part of your learning journey. We wish
you success in your studies and hope you enjoy your time in Thunder Bay!
David Paul Achneepineskum
Chief Executive Officer
Matawa First Nations Management
6. Aniin, Booshoo, Wachiye,
Welcome to the Honours Bachelor of Education Program.
You are all here, sacrificing your time, away from your children, your families because
you believe that as an educator you can make a difference in the lives of children and
by extension your nation. I honour your sacrifice and assure you that we in the
Department of Aboriginal Education at Lakehead University will do everything in our
power to support your learning journey.
I urge you to work hard and to build a professional learning community that will support
you over the rough spots. Take advantage of the support mechanisms available to you
and make sure you deal with problems as they arise. It is not a weakness to ask for
assistance but a strength that can often make a significant difference in your
experience.
Most of all don’t forget to laugh and share your talents and skills with others and enjoy
your time here at Lakehead University.
Dr. John Hodson
Associate Professor and Chair
Department of Aboriginal Education
7. Aniin, Booshoo, Wachyie Everyone,
I’d like to say Welcome back to our returning students and a Booshoo to our new
cohort. Thank you for deciding to be a part of the specialized HBEd program. I’ve
come to know everyone so well and have been looking forward to meeting up in person
once again. Please come by my office anytime for a visit or assistance.
Also, a reminder that my office is now in BL 1017.
Wishing you all the best in your studies and enjoy your stay here on campus.
