The MEd is designed for teachers, administrators, community educators, early childhood educators, or students in other professions who wish to enhance their knowledge and professional practice in Indigenous education. This program will:
- Develop educators’ knowledge, understanding and theory and pedagogic skills concerning Indigenous education and Indigenous knowledge;
- Analyze existing curriculum frameworks and structures so that educators may better understand Indigenous worldviews and use Indigenous knowledge and pedagogies in respectful and responsible ways; and
- Provide new professional development opportunities for learning about and practicing Indigenous pedagogies and ways of knowing and thoughtful and strategic ways to implement these in education curricula and programming.
