Description:

The Saskatchewan Urban Native Teacher Education (SUNTEP) program is a four-year, fully accredited Bachelor of Education program offered by the Gabriel Dumont Institute (GDI) in partnership with the University of Saskatchewan (USask) College of Education and the Ministry of Education. In SUNTEP, you'll be able to focus on either early/middle years education or secondary (high school) education.

The SUNTEP program, offered both in Prince Albert and at the main USask campus in Saskatoon, has a strong emphasis on Métis history, Michif language, and social justice, anti-racist/anti-oppressive education. The program combines superior academic education with extensive classroom experience and a thorough knowledge of current educational issues.

The primary goals of the program are to ensure people of Métis ancestry are equitably represented in the teaching profession and to ensure that graduates are educated to be responsive to the individual needs of all students.
