FOUR DIRECTIONS

Four Directions Graduation Coach The Four Directions First Nations, Métis, and Inuit Graduation Coach Approach has been implemented in all Lakehead Public Secondary Schools. “Four Directions isn’t a program; it’s an approach - a different way of working to support students while increasing capacity and culture within a school. It is my mission to assist in the development of Indigenous leaders and professionals within all ﬁelds of work so that our children see a reﬂection of themselves everywhere they go.” - Precious Anderson, Four Directions Graduation Coach

The role of the Four Directions Graduation Coach includes, but is not limited to: •
