NITEP Teacher training

Eighteen local college
students are currently
getting practical teaching
experience in the classroom
as part of the Native Indian
Teacher Education Program
(NITEP).

NITEP is a_ teacher
training program offered by
the University of B.C. to
people of Indian ancestry

_ who want an alternative to

the regular teacher training
program.

There is currently a
shortage of native teachers

in the province, and NITEP
builds upon and strengthens
the cultural identity of each
student. In many cases
students are enrolled in the
program without regular
university admission
requirements if they show
potential for becoming a
good teacher.

Upon successful com-
pletion of the program,
students recelve a Bachelor
of Education Degree and a
Professional Teaching
Certificate,  .

_ Students spend the first
two years at an off-campus
centre - located in Terrace,
Kamloops and the Lower
Mainland - and the
remaining two years at UBC.

The firgt two years include
academic studies given by
UBC faculty, local co-
ordinators, local instructors
and other resource peaple,

‘in addition to the courses,

each students engages’ in
extended periods of practice
teaching in schools near the
field centres. ;

During their last two
years, students complete
academie courses req
of all teachers on the UBC
campus, as well as their
practice teaching.

During the 1977-78 year,
approximately 40 students
enrolled in year three and
four on campus in NITEP.

Deadline for applications
is May 31, and anyone
wanting more information
on NITEP can contact
coordinator Pamela Straker
at 635-6511 (local 54), or by
