World Indigenous Peoples' Conference, Morley 2002

With three treaty areas and 11 different Aboriginal languages within the Province of Alberta, the Faculty of Education recognizes the importance of offering community and campus-based educational programs that respond to the growing needs of Aboriginal communities. We offer the following specializations.

The Aboriginal Teacher Education Program (ATEP)
An off-campus undergraduate teacher education program (completion/full) designed to affect the educational success of Aboriginal youth by increasing the number of Aboriginal teachers in communities throughout Alberta.

The Indigenous Peoples Graduate Education Program
Three-year PhD program that prepares graduates for administrative and faculty positions in colleges, schools and universities.

Canadian Indigenous Languages and Literacy Development Institute (CILLDI)
A summer institute offered to both undergraduate and graduate students interested in learning an Indigenous language and/or gaining expertise in the area of linguistics, language and literacy, curriculum development, second language teaching and research.
