Educator Resources
These are free resources for families or teachers to use. Many were developed by MFNERC staff, however, there are some from our partners and allies.
Learning Hub
The MFNERC Learning Hub houses all your general learning supports, educational activities, and online learning events.
Our priority is to help educators and parents access the information you need in one place
Services & Delivery
MFNERC has developed many academic programs and projects to meet the specific needs of First Nations schools in Manitoba.
Programs
Working directly with First Nation-run schools is at the heart of what we do. To this end, many services we offer fall under the category “in-school” programs.
Remote Learning Hub
The Manitoba First Nations School System (MFNSS) is included in this Remote Learning Hub and our partnering First Nations are able to access resources submitted by the facilitators in their respective areas. These resources are identified as MFNSS but are accessible for all others who utilize the Remote Learning Hub.
