The Hamilton Wentworth District School Board (HWDSB) is committed to learning, equity, engagement and innovation. As part of its commitment to educational equity and supporting the academic excellence and well-being of Black students, HWDSB has been implementing the Graduation Coach Program for Black Students in two secondary schools. The Graduation Coach Program for Black Students is a targeted program that provides individualized supports to Black students and their families with the goal of seeing each student feel safe, supported, accepted, affirmed and achieve their full potential. To expand the implementation and reach of this program to more students, HWDSB is now seeking to hire a third Graduation Coach.

 

The Graduation Coach will advise, mentor and support students to contribute to their well-being and success, including achieving credits, graduating, and successfully transition into their chosen post-secondary pathway.  Under the direction of the Board and school administration, the Graduation Coach will provide targeted, culturally responsive supports and address service delivery gaps to facilitate the engagement, well-being, and academic achievement of Black students.

Youth Climate Action Planning Sessions

Seeking Education students to help facilitate youth climate action planning sessions!

 

Looking for 10 – 15 BEd or MEd students (P/J or I/S) to facilitate 1 hour action-planning sessions (training provided) from 1:50 to 2:50 on May 26^th on University Ave campus.

 Lakehead is hosting the Sustainable Youth Summit on May 26^th at the Orillia University Ave campus. The event is a youth-led event and is organized by the Sustainable Orillia Youth Council with support from Community Engagement and Lifelong Learning and Dr. Ellen Field from the Faculty of Education. This awesome day is part of a SSHRC Connections grant that is exploring youth-adult ally partnerships for climate action.

 On the day there will be 200 high school students from SCDSB schools attending some exciting workshops that the organizing team have put together (see attachment). This schedule was put together by high school students – FYI! From 1:50 to 2:50 pm, the 200 secondary students will be organized into ten groups where they will then go through a climate action planning session that has been developed by the Youth Climate Lab, a Canadian non-profit that specializes in youth climate leadership and engagement. The action-planning process has been developed and if you are keen, then you will facilitate this process with a group of students (some groups are 10 and some are 25).

 The Youth Climate Lab is offering two training sessions for Lakehead Education students to learn about the climate action planning process: Monday, May 16^th @ 3:30 and Thursday, May 19^th @ 7pm. Ellen Field will also be there to help answer any questions.

 For your volunteer participation:

-          Your service will be acknowledged on your transcript as part of your Co-Curricular Record (i.e. your transcript will acknowledge your volunteer service to a Climate Leadership event).

• -          You can attend the keynotes and check out workshops occurring on the day.
• -          Get experience facilitating highly motivated secondary students.
• -          Be inspired by change-making youth.
• -          Parking pass for the day.

 

Other important information:

-     You do not need to attend the whole day in order to contribute your time. If you can only join to facilitate in the afternoon, then we will ask that you arrive at University Ave no later than 1pm and check in at the conference desk.

-     Lakehead is still following the mask mandate so it is expected that you will wear a mask.

 Next steps:

-     Write an email to Ellen Field (efield@lakeheadu.ca) expressing your interest and indicating which training session you can attend (Monday, May 16^th @ 3:30 or Thursday, May 19^th @ 7pm).
