It Starts With You.

Become the teacher your community needs. The Indigenous Teacher Education Program prepares you to lead K-8 classrooms as a culturally-sustaining, justice-oriented educator, one who understands that teaching is an act of building strength and well-being in Indigenous communities.

This program starts with you. Before you can shape classrooms, you'll examine your own cultural identity and what it means to become an Indigenous teacher, a process that runs through every course you take. And from your very first semester, you're not just studying teaching; you're doing it, with fieldwork placements in schools alongside Indigenous students throughout the entire program.

If you're ready to teach with purpose and bring your full identity into the classroom, ITEP is where that journey begins.
