Become a part of the movement to increase the number of Indigenous teachers serving Indigenous students, schools, and communities!
The Indigenous Teacher Education Program (ITEP) prepares future Indigenous educators to integrate their tribal values and language in presentations, lesson plans, and activities. Through the two-year program, cohorts of Indigenous pre-service teachers complete an Elementary Education degree, with a focus on Indigenous Education, and graduate with a teaching certificate.
On behalf of the Indigenous Teacher Education Program (ITEP) at the University of Arizona, College of Education we are currently recruiting Indigenous teacher candidates for the Fall 2021 cohort. We are aiming to recruit 15 Indigenous teacher candidates! Please share the following ITEP information with your fellow teachers, students, schools, departments, and community.
