M.Ed Cohort – Indigenous Education – IKP1
EPLT is proud to announce a unique new graduate program in Indigenous Knowledge and Indigenous Pedagogies, being offered on campus here at UBC. This program is hosted by the Language & Literacy Education department as well as the office of Indigenous Education here in the Faculty of Education and is offered in partnership with the Vancouver School Board.
This M.Ed. will focus on school and classroom processes and practices that support Aboriginal learners using educational frameworks, theory and approaches that focus on Indigenous knowledge. The program is designed to help educators build their knowledge and understanding of indigenous worldviews and education.
While the program is hosted by the LLED department, instruction will involve other departments in the Faculty as well, giving students a wide variety of viewpoints and learning communities to communicate with.
Dr. Joanne Archibald and Dr. Jan Hare will co-lead this cohort.
