The Native Teacher Education Program was created to increase the number of qualified Native teachers through innovative programming delivered on and off campus. We strongly believe that teachers who have an intimate understanding of Native traditions, heritage, psychology, way of life, and language are best able to create a learning environment suited to the habits and interests of the Native child. As such, your education will familiarize you with the social and cultural customs and values of Native communities so you can effectively meet the needs of your future students. As a student, you will attend core program courses that reflect diverse Aboriginal culture, leadership, and identity and have regular access to academic advising, referral, and tutoring. As well, your staff and faculty will prove devoted and encouraging as they strive to support your academic success.
