Current Initiatives in Inuit Education

Inuit Masters in Education Program

From the website: An initiative "offered by the University of Prince Edward Island in partnership with Nunavut's Department of Education, St. Francis Xavier University, and Nunavut Arctic College, the Nunavut Master of Education in Leadership and Learning is the first graduate program to be offered in Nunavut.

The M.Ed program consists of ten courses, taken over the span of 3 years. Courses are offered as a combination of intensive face-to-face components (on campus at UPEI, in Iqaluit at the Inuit Arctic College, or in Rankin Inlet) and online distance education courses. Most courses have built-in on online supports. In addition to these courses, an individual research project is completed in the candidates’ communities.

Individual research projects varied widely in topic, and reflected the students' interests."

Certificate in Educational Leadership in Nunavut

From the website: "The CELN was developed by the Faculty of Education, UPEI, in collaboration with the Nunavut Department of Education. This program is designed to provide qualified teachers and educational leaders in Nunavut with the background, history, knowledge, skills and attitudes to provide culturally based, effective, and responsive, leadership in the school system. The five-course Certificate focuses on parental engagement, action research and approaches to school improvement that support the implementation of educational legislation and policy in Nunavut communities. Offered at the 500 level for professional development in Nunavut, the CELN is certified by the Maritime Provinces Higher Education Commission (MPHEC)."
