Education (YNTEP) - After Degree
About
In 1973, the Council for Yukon Indians presented the Federal government of Canada a list of grievances and a pathway to reconciliation in the landmark document Together Today for our Children Tomorrow. A central concern of this profound document is the educational injustice of Yukon’s education system. It stresses that Yukon schools must teach the history of Yukon First Nations, employ culturally responsive teaching practices, and, ultimately, must be relevant to First Nation students. Born of this context, the Yukon Native Teacher Education Program (YNTEP) began in 1989 with a vision for change in Yukon schools as collectively voiced by First Nation Chiefs and Elders, community members, educators, and politicians across the Yukon.
Requirements
Entry Requirements
Seats will first be offered to qualified applicants of First Nation heritage.
To be eligible for admission, students must have completed an approved first degree with a minimum overall average of 65% and including a minimum of 39 credit hours in areas supporting K-12 provincial/territorial curricula. It is recommended that students have three provincial curriculum areas (nine credit hours at the 300- or 400-level).
Those who have not been awarded a degree upon submission of their application will be required to provide confirmation of their degree status from their respective institution prior to beginning the YNTEP after-degree
Applicant submissions will be assessed by the University of Regina, which will determine if these criteria have been met.
Assets:
- Good academic average
- Experience working with young people, including but not limited to school settings.
- Evidence of commitment to YNTEP program goals and priorities.
All applicants: proof of English language proficiency
Even if the applicant has lived in Canada for many years, we always look at their education to determine if they meet the English Language Proficiency requirement for admission. Anyone who does not have recent grade 11 or 12 in a secondary school with English-language curriculum or at least 24 recent credit hours in an English language post-secondary school may have to compete an English proficiency assessment. Always check with the YNTEP coordinator well ahead of the start of the semester, in case specific testing will be required.
