The Labrador Institute and the Faculty of Education of Memorial University have partnered to enable the creation of a Community Based Teacher Education program focused on primary/elementary teacher education in the Aboriginal and Northern context.
Working with the Nunatsiavut Government (NG), the College of the North Atlantic and the Newfoundland and Labrador English School District, Memorial University has developed a program route including an Inuktitut language component, coastal community practicums, and a First Year Success component that began in 2014.
We spoke with Sarah Townley who was born in Hebron but now lives in North West River.
She says that she helped teach Inuktitut with Selma, Susanna, Sybilla and Christine.
