Bachelor of Education (BEd) Elementary Education (Pre-K to Grade 8)

For over forty years the Saskatchewan Urban Native Teacher Education Program (SUNTEP) has offered a pre-service teacher training program. The SUNTEP program is delivered by the Gabriel Dumont Institute (GDI), in partnership with the Ministry of Advanced Education and the University of Regina.

SUNTEP sponsors self-declared Métis applicants for all tuition and required fees during the four years of pre-service teacher-training.

Distinct features of the SUNTEP program include small class sizes, one-on-one academic and instructor support, tutorials, and access to professional development opportunities and Michif cultural experiences on and off campus.

The primary goals of SUNTEP are:

• to ensure that people of Métis ancestry are adequately represented in the teaching profession, and
• to ensure SUNTEP graduates are trained to be sensitive to the individual needs of Indigenous students and all students.
