In December 2011, AANDC offered Treaty 8 First Nations of Alberta funding to hire a Registered Psychologist. Heather Poluk was hired and began her work at Treaty 8 in April 2012. A questionnaire sent to all Treaty 8 schools indicated approximately 144 Educational Assessments were outstanding. Thus began our planning and our visits to the schools. We spent a very busy year visiting 12 Treaty 8 schools and working with some wonderful teachers, parents and students. We are still finding challenges but also finding ways to work through them. We had the opportunity to work with some students and teachers who were very determined to find the appropriate program for students. 2012 - 2013 School Year 2012 - 2013 School Year To date, thirteen (13) schools have been visited by the Heather and Eileen. During these visits, pre and post parental meetings, Educational Psychological assessments, teacher interviews, classroom observations and file reviews have been conducted. To date, 38 Psycho-educational assessments and 14 achievement assessments have been administered by Heather Poluk.
