Supporting and Uplifting Language & Culture Teachers

The NISN Indigenous Epistemology Language & Cultural Cohort is designed to provide Language and Culture Teachers with a supportive, collaborative space to grow as leaders in Indigenous education.

At the heart of this cohort is the Community of Practice, a process where teachers bring forward real-time challenges from their language and culture classrooms. Together, participants engage in explanation, clarification, feedback, problem-solving, and reflection.
