Treaty 8 First Nations of Alberta

Free Solaro study guide

TREATY 8 ENHANCING EDUCATION

Treaty 8 First Nations of Alberta Executive Board of Chiefs are pleased to announce a free resource for Treaty 8 [Alberta] First Nations children who attend provincial schools.  This resource is already available to all the students attending any of the Treaty 8 First Nations schools.   The Chiefs feel this resource will greatly assist students, both on and off reserve, as this resource is based on the Alberta Curriculum and Standards in the areas of Math, Science, and English Language Arts.

The on-line resource is called SOLARO, a Castle Rock Research Corporation (CRRC) product, and is provided to students from the twenty-four Treaty 8 affiliated First Nations Communities who attend grades 3-12.  This opportunity is made possible through a partnership between Treaty 8 First Nations of Alberta and CRRC. 

Added features of SOLARO are the ability for parents to monitor and be aware of their child learning by accessing the Parent Portal.  Teachers can also use this resource for direct instruction, prepare and modify prescribed lessons/units, and conduct assessments obtained from a large data-base integrated with in the system. Everyone involved with this resource can rest assured that it is all based on the learner outcomes from the program of studies as identified and prescribed by Alberta Education.

Parents and students from any of the Treaty 8 First Nations communities who wish to take advantage of this resource can contact the Treaty 8 First Nations of Alberta Education office:
