Teach For Canada’s Summer Enrichment Program
The Summer Enrichment Program (SEP) 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.
See the 2019 Summer Enrichment Program Agenda and Presenter Biographies for the 2019 Summer Enrichment Program.
Summer Enrichment Program 2020: The Summer Enrichment Program will continue as scheduled for July 11th – 24th 2020. The Teach For Canada team will determine whether to host the Summer Enrichment Program at Lakehead University or, alternatively, through an adapted online format based on the latest recommendations of public health authorities by June 1st.
The health of Teach For Canada teachers, our team, and our partners are our foremost concern. Selected teachers can expect to receive communication outlining the decision and any next steps they need to take by June 1st. Questions or concerns? Contact selection@teachforcanada.ca
