Discover a New Pathway to Indigenous Teacher Education
For over 40 years, NITEP at the University of British Columbia has delivered a teacher education program in an environment that honours diverse Aboriginal traditions and philosophies.
Graduates of the BEd program are prepared to be effective educators for public, First Nations and independent schools. NITEP students and graduates are role models and agents of change and empowerment. For four decades, more than 375 individuals have graduated and gone on to successful careers as teachers, administrators, provincial and federal government managers, and other highly valued leadership positions in Aboriginal education. Many have continued their studies and have received Masters and Doctorate degrees.
The intention of the program is to build upon and strengthen the cultural heritage and identity of the NITEP students. Using these strengths as a base, students develop the skills and academic knowledge expected of beginning educators.
NITEP and Kwantlen Polytechnic University (KPU) are exploring a partnership opportunity in which KPU students can access UBC NITEP courses online and on-campus while attending KPU. Attend the September 18th info session to learn more!
