The best practices listed below are programs, projects, or strategies that provincial and territorial governments, as well as Indian and Northern Affairs Canada, have selected as ones that show success in Aboriginal education and can benefit jurisdictions and organizations in improving Aboriginal education in their communities. These best practices were chosen with a view to facilitate their adaptation and implementation in a wide range of communities.

Please note that all best practices on this site were submitted in November 2007 and approved by Ministers in February 2008; updates to information found below are therefore required.
