Bachelor of Education (B.Ed.) in Language Teacher Education
The Language Teacher Education Program (LTEP) is designed for students from Indigenous communities and French communities within Saskatchewan and across Canada who wish to teach Prekindergarten to Grade 8 educational programs that offer Cree and French.
The LTEP route supports teacher candidates by offering teaching area and methodology courses in Cree or French, as well as coursework that focuses on teaching in second language settings.
This diverse, one-of-a kind program brings English, French and Indigenous language learners together with a focus on language revitalization and culture and responds to the needs of practicing professionals in school systems where second-language programs (immersion, bilingual and core) are currently delivered or in the development stages.
LTEP courses within this new program route will focus on second language pedagogy, curricula and assessment knowledge as well as specific attention to culture, identity and language revitalization. Providing Cree and French Education courses will deepen the professional study for teacher candidates and respects the Saskatchewan Professional Teacher Regulatory Board (SPTRB) requirements for teacher certification in Saskatchewan.
Students in the LTEP program will take four education methodology courses in either French or Cree (depending on their focus).
