Teacher Preparation
Teach For Canada’s Summer Enrichment Program
The Summer Enrichment Program is the cornerstone of Teach For Canada’s community-focused preparation program. It is led by Indigenous leaders, northern teachers, and education experts. It helps teachers to learn about the histories and cultures of northern First Nations, to adopt culturally-relevant pedagogies, and to establish effective self-care practices.
In 2023, teachers will participate in the first-ever hybrid Summer Enrichment Program. Teachers will begin their learning journey by completing 15 hours of asynchronous online learning modules. They will then join the 2023 cohort and Teach For Canada staff for one week of in-person learning from Indigenous leaders, northern teachers, and education experts.
See an example of the Summer Enrichment Program Agenda and Presenter Biographies for the 2022 Summer Enrichment Program for more details.
