Our Mission:

Culturally Responsive Teaching:

You will find that the fabric and soul of the educational philosophy of the Teacher Education Department is formed around culturally responsive teaching as a way to initiate a complete and radical transformation of an educational system so that the student is the central focus of teaching and learning.

We believe that culturally responsive teachers will be better prepared to address the problems faced by our indigenous people. We hope this will bring about a change in self-perception and foster a renewed sense of identity. Even more than that, we believe that culturally responsive teachers are better equipped to respond to the needs of all students in any setting.
