Children look to their parents and family for guidance.
Families A document prepared by the Research and Evaluation Branch, Ministry of Education, March 1994 1. It's not unusual for a First Nations child to be reared by extended family members or community members. These caregivers are a child's first teacher and your interaction with them can expand the positive aspects of the home influence into the school. For many First Nations caregivers, their own schooling was not a positive experience and the school is not a place they feel comfortable to contact or visit. As a Support Worker, you are the positive role model for education for the Aboriginal family.
