Competency-Based Approach

Caring for Aboriginal Children reflects the healthy mutual respect between the Aboriginal people and non-Aboriginal people of Saskatchewan derived from the Aboriginal Cultural Component document, which is a living document that was designed to introduce the teachings of Saskatchewan Elders and Aboriginal communities to participants. The Caring for Aboriginal Cultural Curriculum is designed to stand alone. It is also used as an additional session in the PRIDE CORE on-line Foster Parent Training Program.
