The Keewatinase Indigenous Teacher Education Program (KITEP) - Language specialization is a diploma program that provides a safe and wholistic space for teacher candidates to strengthen their identity and to bring their whole selves (emotional, physical, spiritual, and mental) into their teaching practice and communities. One of the program’s main objectives is to share and model how teacher candidates can begin to ground their practices in Anishinaabe ways of knowing, seeing, doing, and being, to promote both learning and teaching that is congruent with Indigenous pedagogy incorporating family, community, and healing. The KITEP Language specialization program leads to a diploma and certification by the Ontario College of Teachers. For more information, click here.
