NITEP, the Indigenous Teacher Education Program in the Faculty of Education at UBC, has celebrated graduating over 400 educators in its 44 years of existence. Part of NITEP’s success can be credited to its devotion to community-based programming, which allows students to complete the majority of their education in their home communities. The program has worked with over 20 communities in British Columbia, including field centres in such locations as Vancouver, Lillooet, Fraser Valley, the Cariboo (Williams Lake/Quesnel), Bella Coola, Campbell River, and Hazelton. NITEP aims to increase the number of Indigenous educators in both British Columbia and Canada with the broader goal of supporting Indigenous learners and communities in achieving educational parity with non-Indigenous learners.

Vincent Ziffle incorporates Indigenous ways of knowing into his 100 level Chemistry courses at the First Nations University of Canada.
Assistant Professor, Vincent Ziffle, from the Department of Indigenous Science, the Environment, and Economic Development (DISEED) at First Nations University of Canada, discusses the intersections of Chemistry and Indigenous education. Ziffle explains how organic, introductory, and general chemistries can be explored experientially in classrooms, on the land, or in the kitchen. The chemistry of medicinal plants or the chemistry of food and cooking offers a high degree of traditional knowledge integration into the course. For Ziffle, Indigenous education incorporates traditional ways of knowing, traditional ecological knowledge, and involves working with and learning from Elders. Ziffle hopes to provide all students opportunities to understand chemistry, at least the basics, where principles are learned experientially enriching our lives to better understand our world.
