The goal of this program is to offer professional development for in-service non-Indigenous teachers supporting their growth as more effective teachers in Indigenous communities. The program addresses subjects of particular interest and need in Indigenous schools, such as cultural socialization, culturally-appropriate teaching strategies, second-language teaching, and the history of Indigenous cultures and peoples.

Admission Requirements

2. A TOEFL minimum score of 86 (iBT; 550 on the PBT) for non-Canadian students from countries where English is not the first language and who have not completed a degree from a recognized university whose language of instruction is English.
