Overview
This Indigenous Teacher Education Program addresses educational issues pertinent to public and First Nations schools settings where Indigenous children attend school. The first two to three years are offered through a regional field centre so that teacher candidates can remain near their home community to maintain their family and cultural connections. You’ll develop the skills and academic knowledge expected of beginning educators, complete a specialization in Indigenous Education, partake in practicums and field schools, and prepare to teach at the elementary, middle, or secondary school level.
