Aboriginal Teacher Education Program is an off-campus community based collaborative cohort program.   This program works towards developing a greater understanding of the Aboriginal culture and perspective on teaching and learning, primarily in schools where Aboriginal children are learning.  Our goal is to improve the educational success of Aboriginal children by increasing the number of Aboriginal teachers and teachers with an understanding of Aboriginal culture and perspectives in communities in northern Alberta.  ATEP working collectively with our collaborative colleges is providing the final 60 credits of university course work required for a Bachelor of Education in Elementary Education.
