Our Indigenous 教育 program offers several exciting options for gaining professional knowledge and skills in the field of education. 学生 are able to choose from five key concentrations as they earn credits toward a certificate or Associate of Arts degree. So whether you are interested in working with young children in a childcare setting or would prefer working with older students in a local middle or high school, 12bet’s Indigenous 教育 program has a concentration for you!
The Indigenous 教育 Associate of Arts degree is derived from the National Association for the 教育 of Young Children (NAEYC) Accreditation Standards and input gathered through the 2012 Uqautchim Uglua Gathering.
The certificate program serves as a stepping stone to the degree program, and all coursework that is applied to the Certificate will count towards the degree.
